 I hope that it's a bug, 'cause I've had the same problem since I
 bought it. I was originally told that Ami Pro 2.0 had a similar
 "feature" if ATM was set to use the printer's bitmapped fonts,
 and that I should turn that feature off for AP3. Unfortunately,
 it was already turned off 8-(!

 I have sent at least three faxes (with examples) to their tech support 
 fax line w/o a response (personally or to their AP bulletin board).
 I have had the problem with both Adobe fonts and True Type fonts.
 
 I don't know of a fix. Three ways to work-around:

  1) Turn justification off
  2) Use DRAFT mode
  3) Force a screen refresh (scroll up/down then back)

It is my experience that items in the startup group are started from
top left to bottom right. With this thinking, you could just make 
sure that your x-client is the bottom right item in the startup
group.

Subject: The Organizer from Threadz (now Lotus). Network Problems
Keywords: diary organizer threadz lotus network lantastic
Date: 1 Sep 92 7:34:25 GMT
Organization: Me?  Organized?

I've been having problems with the Organizer from Threadz, although I'm now
told they have been bought out by Lotus.

My set up is a Lantastic network with four workstations, 80368 4/80 Mb. 
We are running a supposed 5-user pack, but I have been told that Lotus will
not be supporting the multi user version until they have sorted out problems.

In my office we have one diary to record appointments for the boss, now
anyone of the four workstations may 
need to be able to enter and modify diary entries, however The Organizer has
not been performing this.

If one person changes the diary none of the others screens/diarys update until
they close and open their files.  Which causes a data sharing problem
as two people can put in different diary entries in the same time slot, and
both diary entries don't get saved.  

The symptoms look like the organizer is not set up to share files correctly
as each copy of the diary is stored in RAM which only get written when the
buffer is full, and doesn't get read on a regular basis.  Sounds like pretty
simple stuff for a supposed multi user application, but it doesn't work that
way.

So the work around we have is that one workstation can make changes and the
rest have read only access.  Not ideal at all.

Has anyone else had any experiences with the organizer, and does anyone know
of a diary program which will allow multiple users changing the same diary?

I have but it was a strange one. I was downloading a .gif file from a BBS
and had set view gif's online option. It promptly croaked as the gif file
started to arrive. The gif was a strange size one (something like 900x560
256 colours). When I re-started the download (now online viewing is disabled
) and tried to view it with the viewer program, same GPF. Magellan also
did not like the .gif file but Paint Shop Pro displayed it okay.
Not work reporting to Datastorm since incremental gif viewing is a a facility
of dubious utility anyway.

I started testing the Almanac v. 3.0d for a week ago, and I'm very likely 
going to register it. Just one question: How do I get Almanac to run as an 
icon (the clock rectangle in the lower right corner) after startup ? I've 
tried to put the startup command of it in both load= and run= -sections, but 
neither helps. I think it worked one time; I just can't get it to work 
anymore.
Or is this a feature to be cleared after registration ?

Subject: AmiPro questions
Organization: Educational Computing Network
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 1992 21:46:52 GMT

I posted the following message last week, but was informed that some (if not
all) of my messages were not distributed.  I apologize if you have already
seen this message.


My copy of AmiPro 3.0 arrived late last week, and while I'm
generally pleased with some of the improvements that Lotus has
made to the product, I've got some questions that neither the
program nor the documentation seem to address.  Can anyone in
netland provide some information with the following items?

1.  I would like to make, edit, and update endnotes in a separate
document, rather than in the same document as the main text. 
While AmiPro does have the convenience of automatic updating and
renumbering, this convenience is offset by the relative
inaccessibility of the endnotes (especially, the entire set of of
endnotes).  How can I retain the automatic feature and have the
convenience of working with two documents?

2.  I would like to do quick importing of unformatted text files
(7-bit ascii).  How can I do this?  Is there a way for the
program to recognize the type of file by its suffix?  

3.  Does anyone have any experience with the Lotus bulletin
board?  If so, I would really appreicate your providing any
information about its contents, so that I can determine whether I
should spend the money to access it.

4.  The manual's discussion of power fields is cryptic, to say
the least, and I just can't make heads or tails of it. 
Consequently, I may be missing out on one of the program's
outstanding features.  Can you point me to any other
documentation on the subject?

Thanks for your assistance.

As has been pointed out on the net and over email to me, I was WRONG when
I said that the File Manager does not allow disk formatting in the
background (blush).

I've used the Norton Desktop for Windows front end soo long that I attributed
the same behavior to the File Manager.  Since the inability to do anything
else while disk formating takes place seems to be specific to NDW, the
original question was a good one.  That is, why this limitation?

While thinking about my original assersion for a moment I realized I was
full of rubbish.  NDW's backup program allows disk and tape I/O and formatting
to take place in the background!

Thank you for the corrections
Don

We have used/tested it with our IBM ES/9121-260,

We use version 3.1 update 03 with GDDM graphics option.

Any comments about Rumba or similar 3270 prgs appreciated.

hi.

You might want to make the whole block of text a paragraph first, and then
put a border around it.

Highlight the block, go to FORMAT/PARAGRAPH and select KEEP LINES TOGETHER.
Then go to FORMAT/BORDER and select BOX.

This should do the trick.

This information is kept in the WINWORD.INI file in your WINWORD directory.
The only way I know of to delete this info is to delete this file after 
every editing session. Happily, I don't think there are any dire 
consequences. The only other things I've ever seen in this file are the 
settings and path used in the last FILE FIND... session, such as search 
path and keywords to search. The program will write a new file without a 
complaint if it can't find an existing one.

The excerpt above that (Daniel A. Szpiro) attributes to me is from
one of the many replies that were posted dealing with the subject
of share-ware apps.

Brian Capson contacted me by email on 20-August.  And he explained
that he moved twice in that last 4 months and temporarily lost
internet access.  He also emailed me the distribution version of WinDock
(no nag screen). 

Since so many people seem to be interested in WinDock, I will encourage
Brian to post his new email address.

problem. Windown modifies the section [Postscript Printer] in win.ini.
In Win3.1 microsoft is using the section [Postscript Printer, LPT1:] and
therefore the modifications of windown are meaningless. Adobe Europe
could not tell me if or when upgrades of windown are available. They
advised me to ask other people if they owned a newer version and get a
copy. They claim windown is something like shareware!!!

Therefore my question is who ownes a copy of windown which works with
Win3.1 and want to mail or post it.
The version of my copy is 1.0B

Thanks in advance

I'm working with Windows 3.1, PowerPoint 3.0, and Microsoft Word 2.0a.
I want to import a table from a Word document into PowerPoint.
Using the various data types listed under Paste Special results
in either:

    1. Only the contents of the cells.  I.e. the outline of the table is lost.
    2. An icon for Word which when double clicked opens Word on the
       correct table.  When the slide is printed the
       icon itself, not the table, is printed.

Is there some trick I don't know about?

Thanks in advance,
Robert
