Subject:      Those ATM WP- fonts on 5.2... oof!

Well, fellows. I tried 5.2. I am satisfied but not fulfilled. Some may
say $40 is ok. but hey, the April update was only $20. That means, we
should expect the 6.0 upgrade to be at least $80 (follow the geom scale)

Now w/respect to the ATM fonts. I converted those to True Type for my
own pleasure, instead of using them as ATM (don't have space for the
ATM Control Panel anyway). Worth at least $10 of the $40 tag. Now, one
can claim "one could get those free on the net" but for those with
no net access they come handy (if you see the shareware broker charges
for a set like it - perhaps $15 - $35).

And for Grammatik, if I am satisfied, I will probaly sell my RightWriter
copies (5.0 and 6.0) to whoever like this last one. If not, I may have
to stick with the disk (you see it does come with the WP seal/tag -hmmm
license mess!- not like the ATM 2.5).

What should we expect on 6.0 (WPCorp listen!):

  A full featured clip-art editor/creator (eg. a subset of Presentations)
  A drop cap enhanced feature (5.2 still falls short)
  A set of 25 True Type fonts ready to run from inside WPWin
  (it may include a Printer/Screen Driver 10 times better then Win's)
  A graph/chart editor to enhance imported graphs/charts
  (and for that matter a plot editor to enhance imported HPGL & HPGL/2 plots)
  A comprehensive Macro Manual (instead of the crap file you have to
  print!) a la Workbook perhaps.
  A user-configurable thesaurus/dictionary
  A few configurable dialog boxes for the most used features (perhaps
  through a set of new macros)
  A ruler/button graphic editor, so you can configure your top bars the
  way you like it (colors, fonts, art, etc) instead of having to go back
  to the win.ini wp.ini files and all that mess.

  Something we can call "The totally friendly-user Win word processor"
  and kick all the others in the dark (perhaps with smaller file sizes and
  better programming!).

I have 8mg on my machine. Would adding a permanent swap file speed wp4w speed
it up at all? I had always thought that it would not.

Subject:      Re: WP4W 5.2

Eric was disappointed that WP4W 5.2 does not show page numbering on
screen while one is typing but thought W4W does.  I'm not familiar
with 2.0 of W4W, but I know the earlier version--which a friend has--
does not display page numbers or footnotes on screen while typing.
Does Ami Pro 3.0 have those capabilities?  I don't know and the ad
in January 1993 PC World doesn't shed any light on those aspects--it
does, however, make comparisons to WP5.1 for Windows.  Now they'll
have to redo their ad campaigns, I suppose; on the other hand, several
stores are still pushing WP5.1 for Windows in the Chicago area . . . .

Happy Holidays to all.

I was under the impression one new macro would be a method commonly known
as "drop cap"... where a large letter or numeral could be put at the
beginning of a paragraph, and (say) two lines of text would "come up" against
the Dropped Cap.

Am I crazy?  I can't find it in my new wp-win 5.2.

Thanks in advance.

Seasons Greetings!

	I am confused as to how much system resources tt fonts take up
when loaded? How do they differ, in terms of a font buffer (?) and disk space
and other system resources, from the adobe fonts shipped with 5.2?

Also is there a shareware program that will convert my adobe fonts to TT?

last week and received the same one from HP through mail

Subject: Video Training
We began implementating video training in addition to our courses about one
year ago. At first, we did not have much success, but it is starting to pick
up now. The key has been a great deal of marketing and getting people to
understand that it is a form of training. Following is some of the things I
have done to begin implementing this as a viable form of training.

First of all, we have a monthly school-wide newsletter that I put short
articles in about the videos that are available as well as when we receive new
videos.
  Second, when anyone registers for a class, we send out a reminder notice a
couple of weeks before the class and along with the reminder I include a sheet
of suggestions of what to do before, during and after training to make it
successful and, of course, video training is good for either introductory
purposes or follow-up, reinforcement and additional practice. Third, during
the class, I stress several times that the students can do video training at
any time for additional practice as well as to learn new things and I have the
videos for that particular class setting at the front of the room during
class.

Things we are doing for the future include setting up a certificate program
which will have guidelines for remaining current with technology and hours of
training needed. Video training will be a part of the program track in order
to earn a certificate.

Also, I have begun studying Just-In-Time learning which focuses on the use of
technology to train. I hope to get some testing software in place because
people have to know what their skills are and where they need additional
training for training to be effective. Then, if they could do pre- and
post-testing it would be even easier to promote video training to more and
more people.

Video training is not just setting someone in front of a video. It is a part
of a process and it will not be successful if you just say here are the
videos, come and view them.

I hope this helps a little. We have a long way to go, but I think we have a
good start and are on the right track. If you have any questions or
suggestions, please let me know.

Happy Holidays.

Robert, I'm not sure I am following you. Are you saying we can add TT fonts to
our WP printer driver? Forgive my ignorance, but could you go more in depth
with how to assign these to the fonts in my ruler menu?
Also is there any major difference in print quality or anything else between
the WP printer driver and the Windows p.d.?

Thanks

Yep, it is really good. With grammatik and adobe type fonts, It beats the
heck out of W4W! I really like it. ALthough there spell checker is changed
in format, it's better, much better; but it is taking me a bit longer to adjust
to it. When it says "word not found" it means the word on the screen is not
found, but it still gives suggestions for what it thinks. 
My complaint STILL is that it does not show any footnotes or page numbers on
my screen as I type. I am not sure but I think W4W does this.  WP ARE YOU
LISTENING... Apart from these (and with any user there will be these) WP4W
5.2 is worth getting! It seems faster, and overall is much improved over 5.1
version.

Seasons Greetings,

W4W shows headers and footers while you're typing. It has for quite a

        Hi Rich.  Did you try calling WordPerfect?  They don't send ALL
the drivers for WordPerfect, only the most popular ones.  Plus, they're
probably writing new drivers as we speak.

Greeting all,

     I've since acquired 5.2 from the time I sent my last posting.  I
agree, it's faster and the speller is much better.  I like the new button
bar feature!  I used to have a macro that would swap me between button
bars.  Now it's just a (right) mouse click away.  The only thing I wish I
had is a windows email system.  Then I could use the email feature.  But
I must be content on this DOS email version.  Maybe.... we'll get one in
the future.

     Would anyone like to share some WP4W tricks they've come up with?
I'll look to see what I've done and if I have some (stupid or not) I'll
share them in my next posting.

I have uploaded an improved version of Greg Burlile's REPEAT.WCM to
ftp.cica.indiana.edu, to the directory /pub/pc/win3/uploads.  It will
probably soon be moved to /pub/pc/win3/wpwin.

This macro is a substitute for the Repeat command of WPDOS, which WPWin
is lacking.

The improvements are:

    - better interface, using the dialog facilities of WPWin 5.1.1.
    - better error handling
    - modular code structure

Subject:      Call for Papers: APA Division 34 Student

Division 34 announces its annual paper competition for graduate students
doing original research in Population and Environmental Psychology.
Reviewers will judge the papers and announce winners.  The winner,
runner-up, and other excellent papers will be given a special place at the
Division 34 poster session at the APA convention in Toronto, Ontario,
Canada, in August 1993,

Eligibility:  Graduate students currently doing research in areas related to
Population or Environmental Psychology are eligible.  Only student authors
are eligible; those receiving Ph.D.s prior to December 1991 are not
eligible.  Papers based on thesis or dissertation studies, or on other
research, are acceptable.  It is expected that those entering this
competition will make an effort to attend the APA convention if they are
chosen as winner or runner-up.

Procedure:   Papers should be 10-20 pages in length, including references,
figures, and tables.  Empirical, theoretical, and methodological papers
related to Population and/or Environmental Psychology are appropriate.  The
first author should be the major contributor to the research reported.
Other individuals involved in the research (i.e., faculty advisor, other
students) should be listed in the acknowledgements section.  The winning and
runner-up papers will automatically be included in the Division 34 poster
session at the next APA convention; other papers will be considered for the
poster session if requested by the author.

Prize:  The author of the winning paper will receive a cash award of $100.

Submission:  Entries must be received by January 16, 1993.  Four copies
should be submitted in the format described in the Publication Manual of the
American Psychological Association (3rd edition).  An accompanying cover
letter should indicate the first author's name, address, telephone number
and whether the author would like the paper to be considered for the regular
program if it is not selected as an award winner.  Entries should be sent
to:
