For graphic boxes, select options (Alt/F9, 1 or 2 etc., 4) then 1
for Border style and make your line width selection from the displayed
menu.  Be sure that your cursor is positioned prior to the existing
code of your graphic box (check in reveal codes), for the options to
be effective for that particular graphic box.

In line draw (Ctrl/F3, 2) select 4 for change.  Then make your line
style selection.  I don't believe you can edit an existing line however,
and must erase and then redraw if necessary.

The up coming release of DrawPerfect (WordPerfect Presentations 2.0) is a DOS

hardly wait for its release.

Subject:      Blank page after WP-print Job
X-To:         wpcorp-l@nic.SURFnet.nl

(longish)
This is about:
WP in Pathworks (Digital VAX). Printers concerned: Canon LBP-8III, Canon
LBP-8II, HP LaserJet compatibles.
Networkprinter? Yes. Suppress Top of Form on last page of ducument? Yes.

About a year ago there was a discussion about this subject. The solution
was to make a special printer queue on the VAX, but then other programs came
into difficulty. So we dropped the matter.

Recently, our System Manager Peter van der Voort and my colleque Ron de Vos
did some research and found that what caused the extra page in WP was the
reset printer sequence at the end of the printjob (ESC <).

I did some trial and error and found that if I deleted the whole sequence
at 'Reset at End of Print Job' in the PTR program for the Canon LBP-8III,
Canon LBP-8II and HP LaserJet compatibles, the extra page was suppressed.

The only remaining problem was the Canon LBP-8III with 2 paper trays. The
last page always comes from the upper tray, even if the lower tray is
selected (i.e. for a letter of one page).

My - rather ugly - solution for the moment is a little ALT macro which
specifies an extra page for the one-letter-document. If the secretaries
have a letter with one page, they activate the macro, then print the
'whole document'.

As it is now, it saves a lot of paper!

Has any of you worked around this matter? And found better solutions? Or,
perhaps, could be happy with our solution?

    One program which will do word frequency lists is the text analysis
package Micro-OCP, the micro version of the famous Oxford Concordance
Program.  Far as I know, however, it doesn't interface to WordPerfect so
you'd have to input your data as ASCII.

X-To:         wpcorp-l@ubvm.cc.buffalo.edu

My office is looking at e-mail options, and I'm leaning toward WP Office.
I'm seeking advice from others who have recently done a review/selection
of PC-based e-mail systems...is WP Office a good choice?

The advantage
-------------
From what I gather, Office has the distinct advantage of already being
familiar to my 100+ users.  All have used WP for years...since Office is
so close in look and feel to WP, the learning curve would be quite quick.

Possible disadvantage
---------------------
Does Office have an SMTP gateway yet?  For quite some time I was told they
did not, yet I've recently received Internet mail from an Office site.
SMTP is a must for our purposes.

Any help out there?

    The control codes can sometimes be flushed out by reading the
    document into WP for Windows, if you have it.  If not, I'm sorry,
    but we never found a way to remove the little buggers.

From: Rusty Perrin
I think if you go into Sh-F1 setup and (somewhere in there) set WP to not use
long file names, F5-list files will then default to short file names.

As to speed, short file names should be significantly faster in all
situations, as in that case WP just has to list every file in the directory,
whereas with long file names, WP has to inspect each individual file,
determine whether or not the file is a WP document, and if it is, it then has
to pull the long file name out of the file. On a hard drive the delay usually
isn't too bad, but the more files, the longer it will take.

Subject:      on phone, use computer, hurt neck

As a computer specialist, I am using the computer constantly.  The phone
rings with someone asking a question that I am expected to answer.  In
getting the answer, I use the computer and, just like any other human, I
prefer to give the response quickly so I start typing with both hands as
the person speaks.  Being on the phone, this means my neck tilts to hold the
phone.  This didn't use to be a problem--I mean, I wasn't aware of the fact
that I had a problem until.....

I am sure that this is a very common problem.  Besides resorting to one-hand
typing, or using a speaker phone what advice is out there.  Has anyone found
equipment that is easily purchased that resembles telephone-operator style
headsets that can be attached to the phone?

I've seen telephone handsets that plug into your phone in place of the
regular handset, which are probably what you're looking for.
I think I've seen them at telephone shops, or maybe at Radio Shack or
some similar but better electronic supply place. They're more
expensive than I thought they'd be, around $75 (but they used to
be $150).

re; Marlene's question on hurt neck, phone use, computer use. I just got a
 telephone operator type headset from Hello Direct in San Jose, Ca
 1-800-444-3556        works like a charm, no more bent necks. Also get their
   fifteen dollar little lever gizmo that lifts your current phone cradle off
 the hook about a quarter of an inch.  Thus, phone rings, push the lever which
raises your cradle a fraction and your telephone headset is on line. can get
 ear piece on one side only or both sides. I have one side and works fine. I
 think the telephone headset was $169.00 .   Very worth it. Works
  with almost all kinds of phones, tell them what you have.Gary

All phone systems are not created equal.  Many campuses have their own
phone systems, some of which are digital, some analog.  Equipment that
works on one system will probably not work on the other.

You would be well advised to check with the people who run your phone
system to make sure the equipment you are considering is compatible. We are
in the process of acquiring headsets for the four of us in User Services
and, as I understand it, we had to order new desk units with a headset
adapter built in because our phone system is digital and standard headsets
will not replace the handset.  In short, I've learned to listen to our
telephone people (it helps when they are part of the Computer Center!-).

Phone headsets are as far as I'm concerned a terrific ergonomic investment.
You can get excellent ones from AT&T or go direct to the people who
{brand name:  Plantronics.  phone 1 800 835 6711.  The Spirit model is
under $100 and works with most phones, it's the layperson's version.
The professional versions cost about twice as much but have other
advantages, such as a modular cord (you can thus use an extra-long
cord; impossible with the Spirit), somewhat better control over volume
and voltage, and better quality and warranty.  My original Spirit
lasted four years before losing volume.

Phone headsets don't work with phones that dial from the handset.  You
have to have a phone with a dumb handset and the keypad on the phone.

Subject:      Multi-Age Classrooms
X-To:         EDPOLYAN@ASUVM.INRE.ASU.EDU

I have recently become aware of a new type of classroom, that of the
mulit-age classroom. At first impressions, one might think it is a
synonym for combination class. However, this is not the case. Some
of the underlying philosophies are:

1. Two or more grade levels are combined together. Preferably more
then two.
2. The students in a multi-age class are considered one class and
taught as such. The skills for each of the involved grade levels are
combined and taught to all students in activity based and cooperative
learning lessons.
3. At first, combined grade levels are primary (K-3) and upper (4-7).
4. A teacher would have the same students for more then 1 grade year
(i.e. if the multi-age included 4th and 5th graders, the teacher would
get the 4th graders two years in a row).


Some questions I have are:

1. Should Kindergarteners really be involved in multi-age grouping?
2. How viable is multi-age compared to a straight-level grade?
3. What is the best way to handle grade level Science/Social Studies
curriculum materials?
4. Should students who begin in multi-age classes remain their throughout
their elementary education?

I'd be interested in hearing of other teachers or schools who have
implemented multi-age classes or are planning to. I feel that there
are some real benefits to a program of this kind.

   "remain their"?  [sic]
