Another problem I noticed is that you can't run Space and Planet Atlas if
your display is more than 256 colors.  I'm currently running with 32,768, so
I can't use either of those two modules.  Unfortunately, some of the desktop
colors and my wallpaper look terrible in 256 mode, so I just live without
those modules.

I also use Info-Select for Windows. But I also use 2 other utils for 'note-

Postnote 3.2 which has already been suggested works well, and you can
configure your notes to the colors/fonts you want. It also automatically
saves your notes.

I just started also using Stickies. In fact, I'm using stickies right now
(while using Procomm 4 Windows) with a note I had saved that is an Emacs
command reference. Sometimes I even date notes for my shell use or mail that
I don't want to save.

Both of these programs are nice and easy to use.

I'm going a little out on a limb here, so please understand.  I had some
similar problems when I first started playing with wallpaper bmps, and
finally came to the conclusion that the bmp wallpaper format is not the
same as that for Paint.  What I do, is if I see a gif that I want to 
incorporate as wallpaper, is to use WinGIF 1.4 to view the file, resize it,
etc, then save it in .bmp format.  Windows will then recognize it as a
wallpaper bmp and tile it, center it, what have you.

Hope it helps,
John

GWS is also available at many ftp sites, and is a worthwhile program.

I'd also like to put in a plug for WinGIF, which also reads various
formats, resizes, etc.  It is also one of the few I've seen that will
allow you to copy to the Windows clipboard.

I don't think that Winword has had "a lot of problems". The bugs that
were fixed in 2.0a, b etc are trivial, and are unlikely to have
affected the majority of users. 2.0a's major contribution was to fix a
bug in importing large bitmaps. 

As far as I know, the bug fixes in 2.0b and 2.0c are very minor. 2.0c
has a nice feature where word will hide its menubar and scroll bars
etc, a full screen mode.

fonts that came with Facelift for WordPerfect or were purchased for it

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR:
An MS-Windows product which will allow you to use more than one CRT while using
Windows, and let you control items on both screens with one mouse (i.e. the
little arrow can move between the screens).  

My boss saw a product like this for UNIX machines at some meeting he went to
and thought is was the cat's pajamas. So now he's looking for a similar product
for his PC. Is Bigdesk what he's looking for? If so Where does he get it, what
are the PC's requirments, etc.

hi!

i purchased an Advanced Gravis UltraSound sound card when i got my 486DX-33.
i did all the necessary things drivers-wise to get Sound Recorder and Media
Player to work with it.  however, i'm trying to use a few shareware windows
programs [a MIDI sequencer and a simple MIDI drum machine], and they run,
but they don't produce any sound.  the sequencer requested a MIDI output port
and I gave it the Ultrasound MIDI port; the drum machine uses the default 
windows MIDI settings.  i have followed the instructions for my sound card
and the windows reference concerning MIDI setup for windows to the letter.

what i am wondering is, why aren't the windows-based MIDI applications working,
when the windows-default ones [media player] are?  this is very confusing.

could someone please email me concerning this if they could help me?  it 
would be very appreciated, as i'm sure this will need to be resolved before 
i purchase ANY MIDI software.

thanks for any help,
alex

Hello,

I'm having some problems with ATM fonts.
I use WinWord.
After working with WinWord for some time using multiple ATM fonts,
when I try to add another one, nothing appears on the screen.
The text is there but doesn't show on the screen.

There seems to be a memory problem of some sort that I can't track down.
There is plenty of graphics and windows memory left.

I'm now trying to raise the font cache memory.

Has anyone had a problem like this, or have any ideas???

Thanks,

The only solution I've found is to use the "TYPE SPECS" option under the

Use CTRL-T (Type Specs...) to change type font. It's better in that you can
change more than just the face name through this dialog box.

It should also be noted that in my experience they have been fairly

It's a damn fine package, but they possibly need to work on becoming a

This bug is becoming VERY tiresome. I can't believe that MS doesn't know about
it or know how to fix it. For everyone who hasn't heard yet, there is a very
nasty bug in the WinWord 2.0x installation program. The extra fonts for the
Equation Editor are not installed. To install them, open up Control Panel and
go to the Fonts dialog box. Delete the list entries "MT Extra" and "Fences."
DO NOT delete the disk files. Now click on add, and select the fonts "MT Extra
Plain" and "Fences Plain." Click OK, and restart Windows. The fonts will now
be correctly installed.

Note to whoever is maintaining the Windows FAQ. Do us all a favor and add
this bug and the fix to it.

That is a bug known by Diamond. They are taking a long time to issue
updated drivers to fix it, though. You can (sort of) get around it by
double-clicking on the background of the iconbar.

Having used W4W for a couple of days, I think that the solution to your
problem is to do a global search and replace (Edit/Replace).
DONT specify any text to look for (and replace), just specify the paragraph
styles instead.

I'm running the 24X for two months without noticing any problems with the

the above Word error, which did not show up here either.
The only thing which I noticed the moment I inserted the 24X was my AT-BUS
