Well, I hope wp4win includes this control in the next version.  I just
started playing with the new dialog boxes.  They're great, but there
are too many parameters to include, so it takes too long.  If wp is
smart, they'll include a dialog box toolbar something like visual basic
in their next version.  You can be sure word will have something like
that, and I hope wp won't once again be playing catchup, with all us
users drooling at what everybody else has.

What you did was to play with all the menus.  And what you changed was the
screen zoom proportion.  To restore it to any size (I recommend adjusting it
to screen size), just click on View, Zoom, and choose whatever screen size
you want.  The current one has a check mark, I guess.

Windows/PC is NOT MacOS on a different platform. My advice is replace
aging Mac with one of the new 'low-price' Mac systems due out in october.
She will preserve her software investment, and more importantly, her
cognitive investment in using the machine to accomplish her work. IMHO
Windows is a cumbersome, non-intuitive 'GUI' sitting on top of an
obscure obsolete OS (MS-DOS).

Excuse me, Domingo, I didn't make myself clear.  On the button itself there
is an icon and a title underneath, for example, "open".  or "save".  Can
I change the size of that title, "open" or "save".  I'm running in 800 x

If you are using both WPDOS and WPWIN, simply move all of your spelling files
into the WPC directory (I assume a default installation for both).  Then
configure both WP versions to point to the WPC directory: in WPDOS, Setup,
Location of Files, and in WPWIN, Preferences, Location of Files.  A few
important cautions.  Use the latest versions of the .LEX files and the
*spell.exe for each language you use.  The .SUP files require special handling
and must not be overwritten one on the other.  Put the largest of the
identically named .SUP files in WPC and consolidate by simply spell-checking
the smaller one(s) and taking the add option for every word.  All the spelling
files can now be shared.  Don't forget to delete all of the spelling files in
WP51 and WPWIN and reclaim all of that valuable real estate.

In a similar manner, most of the printer and utility files can be shared by
WPWIN and WPDOS.  It is possible to eliminate about 2MB of file duplication
with the proper configuration.  If you need help in doing this, please advise
and I will post the explicit directions.

You should be able to invoke your WP 5.1 alternate dictionaries from

Somewhow I inadvertantly changed the way my file is displayed on my

half.  When I display the ruler it tells me that I am only looking at
4.5 inches of the file insted of the usual 8 inches.  I can of course
scroll over but it is irritating since I am realigning table lines,
etc. and would rather see the entire width of the file while
doing this.  First of all, how did I do this?  I did not
intentionally tell it to change the way the file is displayed.  And
more importantly, how can I change it back to the original format?  I
spent hours trying to figure this out to no avail and have finally
conceded to asking the wp5.1 gurus.

Thanks for the help.

Yes, you can use your dictionaries from WP DOS in WPWIN and vice versa. I use
the Spanish Dictionary all the time, and have also only one version of my
personal dictionaries that I use with both WP programs.

BUT: it will work fine on most documents, but not on any document that requires
generation, because the extra prompt will foul things up. PC World did publish
a version, (April, I think) that will work just fine with those docs.

Second BUT: This macro is of course for WP/DOS. Anybody write a WP/WIN

    I have received only two responses and both commented on WINDOWS not 
being equivalent to MAC-OS.  Neither said very much about Word Perfect.
As I said in my original posting: 

>    (I am just interested in the WP considerations, not the MAC-OS vs
>Windows issues).

    Since people seem to be fixated on this issue, I'll give a brief 
explanation.  My sister in law inherited old Mac software and hardware from 
her previous law firm.  She is currently working extensively with a new firm
that has all IBM equipment and software, nearly all the companies she has 
work with IBM PCs.  They have software on their PC's that she would like to 
run for herself that is not available on the Mac.  Basicly 90% of her 
computer work is currently word processing, 5% is LEXUS and 5% is Excel.
She has made the decision that she would rather have compatable equipment and
learn something new than buy new MacIntoshes and become an expert on how to 
move files back and forth between machines.
    So once again if anyone has any experience with both WP4WIN and 
WP4MAC, please let me know what you think of the "WORD PROCESSING" 
differences between the two.

In your message of 16:34 Sep 5 1992, you write:

> Does WPDOS support this?

WPDOS comes with a glossary macro, but it's no better than the one shipped
with WPWin.  Both require you to edit the macro itself to add new entries,
and that's too much of a nuisance in both of them to make use of the macro
worthwhile.

My GLOSS and GLOSSADD macros, which work only with WPWin, provide a nice
Windows dialog for adding glossary entries, and store them in a standard
Windows INI file.  This results in convenient use, and fast expansion of
entries.

Regarding having only last line of return address in envelope.

Check the minimum top margin required by your printer.  I had that problem
and fixed it with the return address showing a little low.  Not the best
look, but I can live with it.  With the quantity of HP (LJ and DJ), WP should
auto-adjust the margins, letting the user know why that is necessary.

Regarding small SCREEN fonts in buttons in WPWIN:

I have had the same problem, not only there but also in the Thesaurus and
the Speller.  I called WP regarding this, and they say that WPWIN picks fonts
from Windows setup.  If you have some small fonts somewhere in WIN.INI or
SYSTEM.INI, WPWIN will use them to your disadvantage.  They could not help
me to solve the problem though, and I requested that they give you the ability

to select screen fonts, which they only give in their File Manager.  I was not
willing to change my Windows setup, so I guess we will have to wait until the
next interim release (I am using the Apr 92 rel.)  There is a lot of inconsiste
ncies in WPWIN, and their use of the Windows environment is sloppy at best.
But for obvious reasons most of us have to stick with it.  The power of
numbers (i.e. WP users) has caught us, but I am running out of patience.

Domingo.

Min,
   It has been a while since I got the above mentioned post.  I have been

subscribe to ENVBEH-L?

I would try:

tell listserv@polyvm sub envbeh-l min kantrowitz

Where listserv@polyvn is the node where envbeh-l originates, sub stands for
subscribe, envbeh-l of course is the list you want to access, and then you
tell listserv your name.  You can use this command with any of the lists on
BITNET as far as I know, by just iserting the name and node of the list you want

Sorry I took so long to reply.  Didn't mean to be anti-social.

To be truthfull, I think that what you said was kinda silly.  Try this out:

'I don't have to prove that we are given the choice to accept Christ or reject
Him.  That it is taught in the Bible is good enough for me.  The burden of
proof is on those who do not use the whole bible in context to form
their understanding of John 6.'

Godly, spirit-filled, bible-believing bible scholars have disaggreed on this
issue for centuries.  While I believe that my understanding is correct, I also
acknowlegde that it is not the _ only _ view that is possible to those who
respect and believe the bible.  It must not be all that important for salvation
and the spirit filled life, or God would not leave the issue this ambiguous.
