For your footer example, select the paragraph with your page reference,
and add a top double line border using the Format->Border menu.

For the header example, select the last paragraph of the header, and
add a bottom single line border using the Format->Border menu.

I have experienced the same porblem my self. The solution to the problem is to
get the new version of winfax 2.0 which is called winfax Light.
If you mail me and tell me if you use winfax 2.0 for class 1 or 2 faxmodem...
(win.ini tells you which version you have got)

I will see what I can do.....

Subject: Microsoft Access Database

Organization: University of Utah CS Dept


Just got the flyer from Microsoft advertising their "$695" database
for a mere $99 until next February.  Just a few questions.

1. Has there been any comparison done between Access and other
databases (eg Foxpro, Paradox, Clipper, etc) as far as speed, power,
capabilities, etc go?  I'd appreciate any pointers to magazines,
files, etc.

2. The flyer promotes it as a developers package as well as for the
"non-programmer".  What kind of development support comes with it?  Is
there a separate run-time module/package, or does it come with Access?
What about licensing for distribution?

3. WHERE IS MICROSOFT GOING?  They bought FoxPro, but when I see $199
special pricing as a competitive upgrade to a $500 Foxpro and then $99
to anyone for a supposed $695 product, I can't help but think that
they're putting more emphasis on Access.  Anyone capable of shedding
some insight on this?  I almost bought Foxpro to begin some
development, but now I'm wondering if I should get Access instead.

Any response will be appreciated.  I'll post a summary when I get a
chance.

Thanks

Yes, but Quicken 2.0 offers CheckFree, which I think is the best thing since my modem. It allows you to pay all you bills (credit card are great for this!) from you computer, and it keeps a record within Quicken 2.0. Quicken also offers their credit card (14%) which you can update over you modem and pay using Checkfree. If you like managing you finances with you computer I can find a better way....

If only the rest of the Microsoft world worked like this...

I have made three phone requests and two written requests for this upgrade.
(And sent proof of ownership !)

So far nothing !!!

One of my written requests also contained an order, the order was filled,
the upgrade request was ignored. W4W (2.0 original) falls over too often
for me, I am thinking hard of ditching the investment and changing to
something else.

I am also trying to get an upgrade to the Programmers Library CD I bought.
It is version 1.2 (Dated 1990) and I was promised 3 free upgrades in the 
price. Microsoft (UK) now say I have the the latest release and the product 
has been dropped in favour  of the MS Developers Network CD's, so tough luck, 
no upgrades. 

I *was* invited to join the MS Developers Network but at $1800 or so and
already having a CD drive and Sound Card, it is far to much to pay.

There is a constant stream of critisism of non US Microsoft subsiduaries.
The general advice given in the UK is to deal direct with the States if
you want support.

I'm looking for a MS Windows application that can act as a front-end program
to SMTP mail.  We have UNIX hosts that are the primary mail system for the
organization, but we'd like to put a front-end program on the PCs so people
have a nice Windows GUI to SMTP mail.

The mechanics of transporting the mail to/from the UNIX host can be based on
PC/NFS or IMAP.  It would be nice if the program also handled MIME for file
attachments.  I'm looking at EZ-Mail from Cinetic (sp?) a Canadian shareware
package that looks pretty nice.  Are there any other commercial as well as
public domain or shareware products out there that can do this?

I haven't heard of Helldiver, but I will take this opportunity to
publicise my own efforts to produce a Windows/Waffle Newsreader.

It's called WRN, and available from a few sites (Simtel <WINDOWS3>,
garbo.uwasa.fi are two) in a file called WRN093.ZIP.

This application was built using Visual Basic, so you will also need the
VBRUN100.DLL library which is not included in the ZIP.

Version 0.93 contains one or two bugs, and I'm currently working on v0.94,
although that won't be released for a few weeks. The 0.93 bugs are minor,
and I've been using that version successfully for several weeks myself.

Until Microsoft decides to use a multi-protocol stack for WFWG it will be
a no go - unless you load one (e.g., NDIS, ODI, etc.) before entering

A professor with MGX Designer, Corel Draw!, and MGX Draw likes MGX Draw best 
of all.  Anything he has done in the 2 big programs he can now do in Draw, 
and he does it faster due to its smaller size.  The street price is also $
250-300 less than the other 2.  A smaller program, Adobe TypeAlign, will 
also do what you want, but it requires PS Type I typefaces.  It also costs 
almost as much as MGX Draw, and MGX Draw may even have it bundled with it (
Designer does).

What if both WFWG & tcp/ip use the NDIS driver ? ... sounds like we need

Where can I get that? ... In my case (SUN's pc-nfs) I can use packet drivers
(unofficially of course - thanks Geoff) & if DIS_PKT9.DOS will fool WFWG - then
I might be all set.
