Subject: Hanging Indents in Word 5

Distribution: usa
Organization: Locus Computing Corporation, Los Angeles, California

Hi gang,
	I am trying to do something spiffy in Word and can't quite
figure out how to do it. Maybe someone out there has done it already and
can help.

	I am trying to create headings in a document where the heading
number hangs out in the left margin and the heading text lines up with
the left margin of the body text. This is easy using a hanging indent.
The trick is: I want the number to be right justified and the text left
justified so that it looke somthing like this...

            1 INTRODUCTION
	      This is some body text...

          1.1 Scope
	      This is more body text...

        1.1.1 Foo
	      Yet more body text...

You get the idea. I tried putting a right justified tab at the right
place but then I have to insert a tab in front of the number which will
screw up the table of contents when Word generates it.

Any ideas? Please Email and I'll post solutions that work.

Thanks in advance,
Howard

You can always try another Antivirus INIT. Chris Johnson's Gatekeeper
Package includes a control panel to turn the icons on or off at will.
Plus, It's capable of removing viruses upon detection. I prefer it to
the Disinfectant INIT, but I'd recommend keeping the application around
since Disinfectant updates are released faster than Gatekeeper's.

System 6.0.7 w/associated finder, 16 Mb RAM, Outbound 2030E, 68882.

After using Word 5.0 and quitting the application, Works launches properly but 
does not recognize any of its files... I have to restart and everything is OK.
The only converter that I installed for Word is the Works 2.x which came with 
the unit. Each application has plenty of memory assigned to it and so has the 
finder...
I have not been able to detect a pattern so far (speller used or not, Works open
first or not) but I will try various combinations and try to see if there is
some conditions to look for.

Any ideas?

I'll own up to writing the client, and my address is  
Jim.Matthews@dartmouth.edu (any person at Dartmouth has a similar e-mail  
address, and that's one thing that makes BlitzMail very nice).

BlitzMail isn't experimental (it's been in wide use here since 1988) but  
it requires a lot more than a name and address file as a server.  Our  
current server setup is 7 NeXTstations with 9Gb of disk space, plus a Sun  
4/280 to handle bulletin-board functions.  That handles a community of  
over 11,000 users, roughly half of whom will sign in on an average day.

We are interested in exporting the BlitzMail system to other sites, but  
it's going to be a big job at first.  If you're a Mac-intensive site with  
an AppleTalk/TCP network, a patient sysadmin, and users eager for friendly  
e-mail then we'd like to talk to you.

I think not.  Disinfectant's INIT goes first, the startup screen comes second,
and everything else that draws a startup icon (Quickmail, Randomizer,
Gatekeeper etc) comes after, and all *their* icons go away.

I don't know if this would help, and secondly, as you point out, Disinfectant
should go first.  I suppose I was wondering if there was some hidden option in
Disinfectant to "not show startup icon" or some ResEdit hack to get rid of it.

That's an interesting observation.  Personally, I found the upgrade more
than worth the money.  For one thing, 3.0 is 32-bit clean, which means I
can actually use it under System 7.  Even if you don't use sys7, the new
Paragraph and Character Style Sheets are absolutely the BEST I've seen in
any word processor (I've used most of them).  Color support is also nice,
so that I can mark sections in different colors for later review.

Getting back to the original question, are you looking for a full-featured
program comparable to Word?  If so, take a look at the full version of NISUS.
It's got some very powerful tools but is fairly easy to use.  It's also
pretty fast, since it works in RAM.  If you don't need all those features,
either NISUS Compact or WriteNow 3.0 would be a good choice.

DarkSide does a terrific job for System 7 users.  You should be able

Yes, the current version is 5.0 which includes tax modules for 1992

Try AutoIdle. It's *absolutely* free, takes a miniscule amount of memory,

It's at ftp.apple.com -- exactly where I can't remember, but it's there.

Since I posted the article in News I've received plenty of messages,
So it's obvious that there are many people that's interested in sailing-
related software for the Mac.

	"I really don't know what I'm talking about, but since you all are
	interested, and I found this article - here you are !"

The sad thing is that I don't have any names of the developers or
dealers. Only the names of the software-products.

MacSea was first developed by some Frenchmen as early as 1984. And have
been modified and expanded thereafter. MacSea is used as a link between
all the electronic equipment onboard. The most important links, is to the
instruments that's calculating positioning and the boat's main-computer.
These two instruments, the Decca system/GPS (Global positioning System) 
and the boat's main-computer outputs position, speed, wind, 
airtemp., watertemp etc. All this data is transferred to the MacSea 
program.

The program contains four separate modules: 
Electronic sea-map; that is covering the world-seas, and more detailed maps 
over many popular sailing-areas all over the world.

Log-book:
An electronic log-book that's recording longitude/latitude, speed, 
course, wind, etc. automatically in the log-book

Polar diagram: (What ?)
You can input the boats polar-data in to the polar-diagram and 
update them after sailing some hundred distances, so you know what the 
maximum performance of the boat is under any circumstances.

Tactic-part:
Shortest and fastest passage to different point in the regatta. It's 
not always the shortest that's the fastest!

You can scan in weather-map whit a hand-held scanner or a fax-modem
so that MacSea can predict the weather. Connection with an small 
radio-antenna to a landbased link via Inmarsat C is also possible.

MacSails is a program for designing an weight-calculating of sail-

I'm sorry, but this is all I got on sailing-related software. But I would

can achieve. Or build your own - I don't think it should be that hard to make.

Best luck - by the way - I could not get through to your address...
