Subject: W4W 2.0 and TypeAlign 2.1 problems
Date: 7 Sep 92 18:47:26 GMT
Organization: Instituto Tecnologico de Monterrey, Campus Queretaro

Im runing Windows 3.1 on a 386sx 20Mhz machine with 4 megs of ram, and i have
problems with W4W 2.00 and TypeAlign 2.1 files.
 
When I place an imported file from TypeAlign in WMF format on W4W 2.00, word
can show the file on page layout mode, but when I try to use the Print
Preview mode, word stops with a "DIVIDE BY ZERO OR OVERFLOW ERROR" message
and it crash.
 
   Sometimes I get this message when I try to edit the file on the MS Drawing
program that comes with winword 2.00
 
 Is this a W4W 2.00 bug?   Or Word can't manage TypeAlign files?
 
 
                                                 Thanks in advance

I talked with a Borland rep in July who indicated that PdoxWin would
mostly be an improvement/standardization (GUIzation?) of the user inter-
face.  The basic features (report generator, QBE) will be changed
hardly at all.  This news was a mild disappointment to me.

Actually, I think it's taking so long for Borland to release the thing
because they're trying to figure out how to convert 3.x scripts.  Shades
of WpWin: Will we have to rewrite our old scripts!?

If you are using NDW (Norton Desktop for Windows) (if
you don't, you should :-)), just hit the Refresh button
- it does just that.

Sorry if I have the quotes above mixed up; I don't often post to
the net.  I, too have been a beta test site, and am presently
using the production release.  I have tested FrameMaker with
several dot matrix printers, and have discovered the following:

1)  If the printer, in graphics mode, has an equal dot pitch in
horizontal and vertical, FrameMaker prints just fine.

2)  If the printer has an unequal dot pitch in horizontal and
vertical, both the screen display and the printed output match,
but everything is distorted with characters overlapping or spaced
out too far, or both.

3)  Laser printers, as people out there may notice, have an equal
dot pitch in x and y.

4)  Frame's comment to all of this was, "It's a problem with the
printer driver!"  Never mind that Microsoft Write has no problems
in printing with a dot matrix, whether the font be True Type, Adobe,
or what have you.

I mucked about with my ancient but serviceable FX-85 at home for
quite a while trying to get it to print properly. You get some pretty
strange stuff with the printer in 240 (x) vs 144 (y) mode; the
characters appear spread out 'way too far and overlaid over each
other.  In 120 x 144 mode things look almost correct but all the
characterrs are skooshed too close together.  A check at work on an
LQ850 in 360 x 360 mode showed perfect results.

So, there you have it:  You can do Framemaker on a dot matrix
printer - so long as it's the >> right << dot matrix printer.

From your description, I think Pegasus Mail might be a viable solution. 
It is a NetWare based mail system (though there is a standalone mode),
which requires a gateway machine to do the IPX --> SMTP stuff.  The
software for doing this called Charon and requires a dedicated PC (1Meg
or more, AT or better preferred).  Since PMail version 3.2, it has also
supported other gateways, but it's pretty much up to the user to
configure these through the user defined gateway option (we use Charon,
so I have no idea of how easy/flexible/whatever this opion is).  Easy to
set up, configure and manage, lots of nice features and a mailing list
of (mostly ?) very happy, experienced users for support.  The authors of
both packages are also readily contacted via Internet mail, and usually
happily add features that sufficient of their users ask for.

Pegasus Mail is available in DOS and Mac versions (the latter requires
NetWare for Mac on your server/s), and I think OS/2.  The author is
working on a Windows port as well, and is committed to building in MIME
support on all platforms.

For the price, it can't be beat (both Charon and PMail are free!).  Even
at the same sorts of price you'd shell out for CC:mail, etc I think
PMail would be a winner.

The difference is that if your document is in Page View when you select
ViewZoopPageWidth then it includes the extra wide margins which are 
part of Page View.
If you document is in Normal View when you select ViewZoomPageWidth
then it does not include the extra wide margins.
 
This may be aggravating, but I'd say it's working as designed.  How
could you modify the ViewZoomPageWidth button to change to Normal View
before zooming?  Write a macro?

I've seen this come up before, but I don't remember seeing a good
answer.  The request:  a way to number equations so that (1)
the number of the equation automatically changes if other
equations are added/deleted, and (2) references to the equations
will also change as needed.

1) is easy...you can use a powerfield with "seq".  Don't know
how to do (2), though.  Given that you can imbed a macro into
a powerfield, it certainly seems that this should be possible.
A solution doesn't leap to mind, though.  Buying the macro
developer book would probably help, but I haven't done that
yet.

Suggestions, anybody?

The answer is in the Windows Readme file (README.WRI) in your Main group!

===
8.6  WordPerfect Version 5.1

When running WordPerfect version 5.1 in a window, the Windows mouse
pointer and the WordPerfect mouse pointer will not appear in the same place.
To fix this problem, do the following:

1.  In WordPerfect, press SHIFT+F1.

2.  Select M for Mouse and A for Acceleration Factor.

3.  Set the Acceleration Factor to 1.

4.  Press ENTER three times to return to your document.

5.  Enlarge the WordPerfect window to fill the entire screen.

6.  Move the Windows mouse pointer into the WordPerfect window, and then
move it to the far-right edge of the window.

7.  Move the mouse pointer to the far-left edge of the window.

8.  Move the pointer back to the center of the window, and then move it down
to the bottom edge.

9.  Finally, move the pointer up to the upper-left corner of the window.

The Windows mouse pointer and the WordPerfect mouse pointer should now
be in the same location.
