Keywords: Word

Organization: Univ. of Texas at Dallas

I received an email message on this problem (page breaks in the middle of 
the page) yesterday. The problem was fixed by selecting Tools/Print/This 
document only: Widow and Orphan control. What Word was trying to do was to 
prevent the last line on a paragraph from being printed on the next page. But 
since this paragraph was the first paragraph under a heading, I had grouped 
the paragraph and heading together. Thus, Word broke the page at about 5.6" 
down the page.

Since this file was only one of a much longer file, this page break was 
most undesireable. Turning off the above Print option fixed the problem.

Best wishes,
Dwayne Paschall

It's not necessarily stolen.  There are corporate license agreements which
give a right to use without documentation.

If you have two computers, and you use one of them 80% of the time, you
don't have to buy a license for the second one - you can just copy the
software, at least for some MicroSoft products.  Borland's policies are
more reasonable.

And, in the US, pc are used mostly for serious work.  If people want to 
play games, they buy Amiga's, Nintendo's, and Mac's as well as low-end
(i.e. 386sx/286 ) pcs.  The pc's are used some for games, but the pc's
really aren't at heart game machines.  Most have only an internal speaker,
no game port as standard equipment.  Compared to the Amiga's that have 
pretty good sound, decent graphics/animation it is no wonder that pc's
aren't used for games here.

The Crystal Fonts driver is on the ATI BBS.

I think so. However, they do look somewhat less BLACK; you may not like
this. I can't see any difference in redraw speed on my 486/33.

The new driver supports the old MS Windows fonts (Courier, System)
and all TrueType fonts. A Adobe-to-Crystal converter is supposed to
be available on the ATI BBS 'Real Soon Now.'
I do my dtp in WFW 2.0a, with Arial and Times New Roman as my standard
fonts, and set my Postscript printer driver to substitute Helvetica
and Times.
I use Courier 18x11 in Crosstalk for Windows and find it pleasant.

Do you have the latest version of the Logitech driver?  The one
available from the Logitech BBS is V6.0.  I presume you have loaded the

The latest scam (from MS) is that they have special OEM deals with some
direct sellers whereby ONLY the Concise Guides for MS-DOS and Windows are
shipped. I was an unlucky receipient of such a deal when I bought my 386DX
from the English office of Olympic Technology. The sales people were very
surprised that this single manual was not enough for me, but whatever I
wanted their agreement with MS was such that that was the only manual that
they supplied. It most be true unless there's a black market in Microcsoft
user manuals, hey there most be cos I need them. :-) Mind you with the
weight of MS C/C++ v7.0 and the 3.1 SDK manuals I probably dont have spare
floor-loading.

I occasionally experience the same problem with totally different

Really?  I thought the original version of their OS, at least, was based
on Mach 2.x, with much of the kernel-type functionality (file systems,
for example) in the kernel rather than in servers.  Have they changed
that?

Everything including putatively privileged subsystems such as the file

Note!  I am *not* looking for a standalone program like Screen Peace or

Screen Peace or After Dark type module into the Win control panel, I'd be

I'm more interested in Shareware/Freeware, but I'd be interested in hearing

P.S. Yes, I know about the ones that MS ships with their entertainment packs.
