What you might take a look at is #1 - the newer DeskWriter drivers which are 
3.1.  Second, make sure that you have .5" margins since the deskwriter can't
print all the way out to .25" like the postscript printers.  Then, if all of
that has been checked, and you are using Adobe Type Manager, check to see if
you have line spaces or character shape checked.  You probably have line
spaces checked and need to switch to character shapes.

Hope this helps,
Eric

The latest version of BBEdit, 2.1.3, has a wrap feature.  You set it in 
Preferences, from the File menu. You can set for the Philip bar, the window 
width, or a fixed number of characters.  (Question:  what's a Philip bar?)

Hi!
 Thanks to Derek for mentioning 'Insert File' to combine files. My manual
does not mention it! The on-line help does have instructions though.

My question is this:
 Is anyone able to shift-click the file list created when using 'Find File'?
The manual suggests, p489, that multiple files can be Opened, Printed, and 
Duplicated (p489). My PowerBook 140 does not shift-click to select multiple
files on a list of files.
 If multiple files can be selected from 'Find File's' lists combining files
becomes easier. (My previous way was Print Merge with Include in the form 
letter.

I haven't seen anyone in this thread mention something that I find
convenient for this display problem associated with fractional
widths. The thing is you do want fractional widths enabled for
better output if you're printing to a Postscript LaserWriter. But
you get a really difficult to read screen, so the solution is to
turn fractional widths on and off. This is much easier if you go to
the commands dialog and add Fractional Widths to the regular menu
display of Word. This gives you a quick way to see if fractional
widths is currently on or off since it puts a check mark next to
the menu item and it is much easier to change than having to always
go to the dialog box to find the check box.
Another way to make sure that you have a readable font on the
screen for editing and a good font for printing is to leave
fractional widths on but switch your Normal font to some
non-LaserWriter font like New York while editing and then switch it
back to Times, Palatino or whatever for final page layout and
printing.

Yes, it is much different. It is not as smart as other programs. It only does
one thing - it copies an entire directory (folder or disk) to all clients,
replacing any old version. Its advantage over other programs is that it will
update all clients at the same time.

It does this by using AppleTalk broadcasts. This is good in an isolated
classroom, since it saves time. This is bad in a big AppleTalk network, because
it eats so much bandwidth.

Hi friends,
I have a lot of diagrams and will store them on my first external
hardisk. To keep a list of all these files I will try  freeware FileList
+. At the same time, I would use ImageCatatlog, version 1.0b3 (Sept.
1990) of Tom Bereiter, to catalog all the images of diagrams.
Questions :
- Any suggestion besides FileList+ ?
- Does Tom Bereiter stop working on ImageCatatlog ? If not, where is the
latest version?
My video accelerator init doesn't like this version too much. What do you
use if not ImageCatatlog?

On the shareware/freeware side, AppDisk, available at sumex, umich, etc., is
nice.  Nothing too fancy last time I had looked at it, but it's apparently at
least functional.  Commercially, there is Maxima, by Connectix, which is
supposed to be great.  It allows for addressing up to 128MB of RAM, plus a RAM
disk that can withstand restarts, shutdowns, and even crashes.  It's not too
expensive (between $42-$50 where I've seen it in mail order), and Connectix
usually makes some pretty neat utilities from what my friends tell me.

Hope this helps!

Check a recent MacWorld - either the one on the stands this month, or last
month's, I don't remember and don't have it handy. The section that has
one-paragraph small-print announcements of products had something similar to At
Ease, with a phone number you could call for more info. I don't even remember
the name of it, sorry.

I was going to write something of the sort myself and sell it fairly cheaply,
but I see no reason to compete with Apple system software. I've seen At Ease;
it's pretty nice and I haven't thought of any important ways to improve on it.

Ok. I think I've found what seems to be a tenuous link between the number of
fonts opened as external resources (ie: using carpetbag) and the time it
takes Excel to load the add-in when running under Virtual Memory. The more
fonts (especially > 150 fonts, including individual NFNT, sfnt, etc.)
This slowdown does not occur when VM is NOT used.

I don't know if this is the cause, but when the number of fonts opened in
such a way is reduced, the time it took decreased as well (from 5 min to 2 min)


This is rather strange!!?

By the way, thanks to those who offered suggestions, such as to check for
other inits (eg: autodoubler and compressed program files), making sure there
is enough RAM to fit the System and Excel, trying to make the VM file
contiguous, etc. I don't think those factors were involved at all, although
they could affect the performance of VM in general.

Styles are not at all difficult. The reason people don't use them is often
because they are convinced it is hard to learn.

To show you how simple styles are to use, here is my simple lesson on how
to use styles (skip to step 4 if you are sure you know how to format text
properly):

1. Make damn sure you know how to use formatting features such as indents
(including hanging indents), tabs (DON'T use default tabs, set them!),
Shift Return (to start a new line without starting a new paragraph), and
paragraph formatting features such as "keep with next". You should also
know how to use the Tables feature if you do tables and the side-by-side
feature if you do things like CVs (although Microsoft discourages the use
of side-by-side in favour of tables - each to their own I guess). 

2. If unsure about step 1, go back to step 1 (hint, RTFM or take a course
or both). Styles don't do you much good until you've got the basics down.

3. OK, now you're ready for styles. Don't panic!

4. When you've got a paragraph formatted the way you like and you think
you will use this format again, simply make sure your cursor is in the
paragraph, click in the Style box in the ruler, type in a name for the
style and press Return. You'll get a dialog asking you if you want to
define a style based on the selection - you do. Congratulations, you've
just made your first style.

5. When you want to use a style you've created, all you do is select the
desired text and then select the desired style from the style bar. 

6. If you want to delete a style, select the Styles menu item, select the
style you want to delete and cut it (Command-X or Cut from Edit menu).

7. If you change your mind about a style, (e.g. you want style "quote" to be
a .75" indent instead of 1"), just change one of the paragraphs using this
style to the way you want, reselect the style and then you will get a
choice to either "reapply" the style or "redefine" the style. Select
redefine and all text using this style will automagically change as well.
Now we're talking POWER!

8. If you really want to see power, make the style for the main headings
in your document to be "heading 1" (must be lower case), the next level
headings, "heading 2", the next level "heading 3", and so on. You can then
generate a table of contents based on "outline" automagically. This ties
in very neatly with the "toc" styles. For more info on these and other
"automatic styles" such as the infamous "page number" style, RTFM. :-)

Hope this helps. Have fun!
