The following is part 04 of 06 of the ASCII text version of the
Microsoft Windows FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions).  While some of you
may find this the best format, the more popular format is the WinHelp
file.  These are posted simultaneously with the ASCII version to
comp.binaries.ms-windows.

You can obtain a copy of the WinHelp version as "faqwin01.zip" by ftp
from sonygate.sony.com [192.63.138.2], in /pub/comp.binaries.ms-windows.
It will also be placed on ftp.cica.indiana.edu once disk space permits.

     unsit program.  Since we chose a .cpt file for this example, I'm going to
     run uncpt..  Run uncpt on PLUGH.DAT.  You'll want to extract the AFM file
     (if present), the documentation or readme file (if present), and the
     Type1 outline file.  The AFM and README files will be in the data fork of
     the archive file.  The Type1 outline will be in the resource fork.  The
     AFM and README files have Mac "TEXT" type.  The Type1 outline file has
     "LWFN" type.  Use the docs for uncpt and unsit as a guide.  If you got
     this far you probably won't have much difficulty.
     
     If the font does not contain an AFM file, extract the screen font.
     Screen fonts frequently have the extension .bmap and are "FFIL" type
     files.  Use Bmap2AFM to construct an AFM from the screen font.  If the
     archive does contain an AFM file, it's safe to bet that the author's AFM
     will be better than the one created by Bmap2AFM.
     
     Finally, run refont on the Type1 outline that you extracted above.  The
     result should be an appropriate PC type1 outline.  refont will create a
     PFM file for you from the AFM file, if you desire.

6.5.6.  Replacing your System font with a serif font
----------------------------------------------------
  Thanks to Peter Karrer <pkarrer@bernina.ethz.ch>.
  
  Here's a way to produce your own system font from the MS Serif font
  (similar to Times Roman) in Windows 3.1. No warranties of course...
  
  If you're using "small" fonts (fonts.fon=vgasys.fon in system.ini):
  
     Make sure you have VGASYS.FON, 7280 bytes, and SERIFE.FON, 57936 bytes.
     Use debug to do the following:
       C:\WIN\SYSTEM> debug serife.fon
       - nmyvgasys.fon
       - m15b6 l14b3 100
       - rcx
       CX E250
       :14b3
       - w
       Writing 014B3 bytes
       C:\WIN\SYSTEM> debug vgasys.fon
       - nmyvgasys.fon
       - l6b6
       - rcx
       CX 14B3
       :1C70
       - w
       Writing 01C70 bytes
       - q
     In your system.ini file, replace fonts.fon=vgasys.fon with
      fonts.fon=myvgasys.fon.
  
  If you're using "large" fonts (fonts.fon=8514sys.fon in system.ini):
  
     Make sure you have 8514SYS.FON, 9280 bytes, and SERIFF.FON, 81728 bytes.
     Use debug to do the following:
       C:\WIN\SYSTEM> debug seriff.fon
       - nmy8514sy.fon
       - m1b36 l1c20 100
       - rcx
       CX 3F40
       :1c20
       - rbx
       BX 0001
       :0
       - w
       Writing 01C20 bytes
       C:\WIN\SYSTEM> debug 8514sys.fon
       - nmy8514sy.fon
       - l336
       - rcx
       CX 1C20
       :2440
       - w
       Writing 02440 bytes
       - q
     In your system.ini file, replace fonts.fon=8514sys.fon with
      fonts.fon=my8514sy.fon.

6.5.7.  Zip code bar code fonts
-------------------------------
  Word Office Productivity Pack (wopr-20a.zip and wopr-20b.zip on
  ftp.cica.indiana.edu and its mirror sites) will automatically print bar
  codes on envelopes.  The package does require Word for Windows 2.0, though.
  
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.6.  Applications
==================
  
...........................................................................

6.6.1.  DayBook: running on Windows 3.1
---------------------------------------
  The Windows 3.0 doesn't work well after upgrading to Windows 3.1.  However,
  you can get it working and even keep your old datafiles using the following
  steps:
       * Install ToolBook again (run tbksetup) after renaming your old
          daybook.tbk file.
       * Start DayBook with the empty daybook.tbk.
       * Open the old daybook file (from windows version 3.0)
       * Save it as daybook.tal.
       * Exit ToolBook.
       * Rename daybook.tal to daybook.tbk.
       * Now you can use the old information again under Windows 3.1
  
...........................................................................

6.6.2.  Excel: Calling DLL routines
-----------------------------------
  Excel can call C and/or Fortran routines located in an external DLL.  In
  order to implement such DLLs, you will need the Excel SDK ($49 from
  Microsoft).
  
...........................................................................

6.6.3.  Excel: Doing log-log graphs
-----------------------------------
  To create a log-log graph, check the log checkbox under Format / Scale for
  each of the axis.
  
...........................................................................

6.6.4.  WinQVTNet: Hiding a gateway
-----------------------------------
  To hide a gateway, specify visible=no under that host in your qvtnet.rc
  file.
  
...........................................................................

6.6.5.  Norton Desktop: Wider listbox for Scheduler
---------------------------------------------------
  You can change the Scheduler's listbox width by using a resource editor
  (such as Resource Workshop, included with Borland's latest Windows language
  products) to resize the list box, move the headings and move the buttons.
  
  If you don't have any programming tools, you are basically out of luck.
  
...........................................................................

6.6.6.  Norton Desktop: Using smaller fonts for lists
-----------------------------------------------------
  Most of the listboxes in NDW use the font size selected in the menus; make
  sure you select the correct size.
  
...........................................................................

6.6.7.  Word for Windows: changing bullet paragraph indent
----------------------------------------------------------
  You can do this by creating a macro that creates a bullet, and then linking
  the bullet button on the toolbar to that macro, rather than to the standard
  command.  The macro should include a call to the ToolsBulletListDefault
  command, followed by your modified paragraphg formatting commands.
  
...........................................................................

6.6.8.  Word for Windows: custom toolbar icons
----------------------------------------------
  To change the icons in the Word for Windows 2.0 toolbar, add the line
       LoadToolbarBitmaps=1
  in the [WinWord2.0] section of your win.ini file.  When Word starts up, it
  will look for and load four bitmaps called v1tbar.bmp, v2tbar.bmp,
  v2tbar.bmp and v4tbar.bmp.  Each bitmap holds 26 "icons" which of 18 pixels
  wide and 16 pixels high.  If you are using 1024x768 resolution, the bitmaps
  are 81tbar.bmp, 82tbar.bmp, 83tbar.bmp and 84tbar.bmp.
  
  You can more easily change these bitmaps using the WOPR utility package
  (available as shareware).
  
...........................................................................

6.6.9.  Word for Windows: drop caps (large 1st characters of paragraphs)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Creating a drop cap is really quite easy in Word, once you know what you
  are looking for.
  
  Create the paragraph, select the first character, change it to the font and
  size you want it to be, and then select Insert / Frame to create a frame.
  The frame will automatically size to the character and align with the top
  of the paragraph.  That's all there is to it!
  
...........................................................................

6.6.10.  Word for Windows: fonts larger than 127 points
-------------------------------------------------------
  Since Word for Windows will not allow selection of a pointsize beyond 127,
  for very large pointsizes the best thing to do is enter the text in
  WordArt, and then scale the WordArt object to desired size in the Word
  document.
  
...........................................................................

6.6.11.  Word for Windows: foreign-language dictionaries and thesauri
---------------------------------------------------------------------
  To get a foreign-language spell checker dictionary or thesaurus for Word
  for Windows, you should contact Alki Software in Seattle, WA (800-669-
  9673).  Available languages include British English, French, German,
  Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Swedish, Finnish and more.
  
...........................................................................

6.6.12.  Word for Windows: getting rid of the list of last files edited
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
  To empty the list of last files edited before someone else uses your
  machine, simply remove the file winword.ini from your Word for Windows
  directory.  You may wish to put this in your autoexec.bat file.
  
...........................................................................

6.6.13.  Word for Windows: inserting today's date
-------------------------------------------------
  Using Word's built-in Insert / Date and Time... command will insert a date,
  but will update it every time you open the document.  There are several
  ways to insert today's date and forcing it not to be updated:
      After using Insert / Date and Time..., select the date and hit Ctrl+F9
      to lock the field.  This will cause it not to be updated until you
      unlock it.
      After using Insert / Date and Time..., select the date and hit Ctrl+F9
      to unlink the field.  This replaces the field with its contents; you
      will not be able to update the field again.
      Use Insert / Field... and inset a CREATEDATE field.  This will insert
      the date the document was created, however, and not necessarily today's
      date.
  
...........................................................................

6.6.14.  Word for Windows: linking in subdocuments
--------------------------------------------------
  Word for Windows' Link Document, Include document and Insert Document
  commands all include the entire text of the subdocument in the main
  document.  If you want to "link" in a document for indexing or a table of
  contents but not bloat up the main document with all the actual text, use
  the RD (Refer Document) field.  It won't print or edit the subdocument from
  the main document, but it does work for indexing and tables of contents.
  
...........................................................................

6.6.15.  Word for Windows: numbering equations
----------------------------------------------
  To number equations in Word for Windows, insert a \seq field and use a
  sequence name like "Equation" to identify the sequence.  For example:
  
       x = 0      ({\seq Equation}
  
...........................................................................

6.6.16.  Word for Windows: overlining words
-------------------------------------------
  To overline a phrase in Word for Windows, insert a \eq field and use the
  \x\to option to draw just the top of the box around the "equation".  So,
  for example, to overline "Bar", you might enter
  
       The Foo {\eq \x\to(Bar)} and Grille
  
...........................................................................

6.6.17.  Word for Windows: printing even and odd pages
------------------------------------------------------
  The following macro to print odd and even pages is courtesy of Rob Ryan
  (rryan@panix.com).  Use at your own risk -- and try it on a smallish
  document first!
  
  Sub MAIN
      Dim dlg As DocumentStatistics
      ToolsRepaginateNow
      GetCurValues dlg
      n = Val(dlg.Pages)
      If n < 1 Then End
      For i = 1 To n Step 2
          FilePrint .Range = 3, .From = Str$(i), .To = Str$(i)
      Next
      If(n Mod 2 = 1) Then
          msg$ = "Put all the pages except the last one"
      Else
          msg$ = "Put all the pages"
      End If
      msg$ = msg$ + " back into the printer and press Ok when ready to
  print."
      If(MsgBox(msg$, "Printing Even Pages", 49) = - 1) Then
          For i = 2 To n Step 2
              FilePrint .Range = 3, .From = Str$(i), .To = Str$(i)
          Next
      End If
  End Sub
  
  
  And another alternative, from James Rudnicki and Richard Page
  (page@vm.usc.edu):
  
  Sub MAIN
    Begin Dialog UserDialog 300, 154, "Odd/Even Printing"
      Text 48, 8, 234, 48, "Print odd or even numbered pages. The document
  may be repaginated
                                     and saved before printing."
      GroupBox 11, 62, 143, 59, "Select Pages"
      OptionGroup  .OddEven
          OptionButton 21, 78, 112, 16, "Odd Pages"
          OptionButton 21, 95, 120, 16, "Even Pages"
      CheckBox 173, 79, 116, 16, "Repaginate", .RePage
      CheckBox 173, 96, 100, 16, "Save File", .SaveFile
      OKButton 10, 127, 88, 21
      CancelButton 110, 127, 88, 21
    End Dialog
  
    Dim dlg As DocumentStatistics
    GetCurValues dlg
    NUM = Val(dlg.Pages)            'Get number of pages
  
    Dim NewDlg As UserDialog        'Declare dialog array
    Choice = Dialog(NewDlg)
  
    Select Case Choice
      Case - 1                      'OK Button
        If NewDlg.RePage = 1 Then
          ToolsRepaginateNow        'Make sure pagination is correct
        End If
        If NewDlg.SaveFile = 1 Then
          FileSave                  'Save before printing
        End If
        If NewDlg.OddEven = 0 Then
          For cnt = 1 To NUM Step 2
            FilePrint .Range = 3, .From = Str$(cnt), .To = Str$(cnt)
          Next
        Else
          For cnt = 2 To NUM Step 2
            FilePrint .Range = 3, .From = Str$(cnt), .To = Str$(cnt)
          Next
        End If
      Case Else
    End Select
  
  End Sub

6.6.18.  Word for Windows: removing hard returns on downloaded text
-------------------------------------------------------------------
  You can easily do this by selecting the text, and running a macro similar
  to the one below.  Note that this will mess up any tables in your input
  text!
  
  Sub MAIN
      EditReplace .Find = "^p^p", .Replace = "#~@", .WholeWord = 0,
  .MatchCase = 0, .Format = 0, \
                           .ReplaceAll = 1
      EditReplace .Find = "^p", .Replace = " ", .WholeWord = 0, .MatchCase =
  0, .Format = 0, \
                          .ReplaceAll = 1
      EditReplace .Find = "#~@", .Replace = "^p^p", .WholeWord = 0,
  .MatchCase = 0, .Format = 0, \
                          .ReplaceAll = 1
  End Sub
  
  
...........................................................................

6.6.19.  Word for Windows: setting the find file default directory
------------------------------------------------------------------
  Select Tools / Macro and edit FileFind; it will look something like this:
  
       Sub MAIN
           ToolsMacro "FileFind", .Run
       End Sub
  
  Change it to look like this:
  
       Sub MAIN
           On Error Goto STOPHERE     'Needed if user chooses Close
       
           Dim myfilefind As FileFind     'Define a dialog (same as FileFind
       dialog)
           GetCurValues myfilefind        'Get any values you may have
       already set
       
           myfilefind.SearchPath = "c:\windows"   'Use this type of line to
       set all the
           myfilefind.Name = "*.*"                  'defaults things your
       little heart desires
       
           Dialog myfilefind              'Display the dialog box on the
       screen
       
           STOPHERE:                 'Just a label
       End Sub
  
  For information on the various things you can tag on to "myfilefind", such
  as .SearchPath, .Name, etc..., check the on-line help under Word Basic
  Commands -- FileFind.
  
  Thanks to Paul Brown for the solution!

6.6.20.  Word for Windows: turning echo off in a macro
------------------------------------------------------
  To turn off echo in a Word for Windows macro (making for a cleaner display
  and faster running), you need to implement two macros, EchoOn and EchoOff.
  These macros are fully described in Microsoft's tech note 13-5 (they were
  based on ones written by Steven Wexler of WexTech Systems), available on
  ftp.uu.net and Compuserve.  Beware, though, that if your macro crashes
  before turning echo back on, you will thoroughly confuse the user!
  
  If you just want to implement the macros, they are included below.  Before
  you jump into it, though, here is Microsoft's warning from the Tech Note:
  
  Use the Echo macro at your own risk. It has performed admirably for us so
  far with one exception: When you execute a macro defining a bookmark that
  isn't only an insertion point, the bookmark is not always defined
  correctly. To remedy the situation, turn echo on just before you issue the
  bookmark command, and turn it off immediately afterward.  We leave it up to
  the user to explore and find all the ways Echo can be useful or harmful in
  your macro writing.
  
  To turning echo off, use the following WordBasic line:
     
     Echo.EchoOff IniKey$
  
  where IniKey$ is the name of the win.ini key used to store a value for
  turning echo on. This subroutine turns off redraw and saves the position of
  the scroll box in the vertical scroll bar of the
  active window to the win.ini file. The information is stored in the
  [Microsoft Word Echo] section of win.ini, under the IniKey$ key string.  To
  turn echo back on, use:
     
     Echo.EchoOff IniKey$
  
  where Inikey$ is the same key you used to turn echo off.
  
  The Echo macro contains the following lines:
  
  Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user"(hWnd As Integer, \
       wMsg As Integer,wParam As Integer, lParam As Long) As Long
  Declare Function GetFocus Lib "user" As Integer
  Declare Sub InvalidateRect Lib "user"(hWnd As Integer, \
       lpRect As Long, Bool As Integer)
  Declare Sub UpdateWindow Lib "user"(hWnd As Integer)
  
  Sub MAIN
     Echo 1, ""
  End Sub
  
  Sub Echo(fOn, IniKey$)
     WM_SETREDRAW = 11
     IniSection$ = "Microsoft Word Echo"
     FocusHandle = GetFocus
     If fOn = 0 Then
  
        SetProfileString(IniSection$, IniKey$, Str$(VScroll()))
     End If
     dummy = SendMessage(FocusHandle, WM_SETREDRAW, fOn, 0)
     If fOn Then
        InvalidateRect(FocusHandle, 0, 1)
        UpdateWindow(FocusHandle)
        VScroll Val(GetProfileString$(IniSection$, IniKey$))
     End If
  End Sub
  
  Sub EchoOff(IniKey$)
     Echo 0, IniKey$
  End Sub
  
  Sub EchoOn(IniKey$)
     Echo 1, IniKey$
  End Sub
  
  
...........................................................................

6.6.21.  Word for Windows: using a watermark
--------------------------------------------
  To place a watermark (usually a large a light gray text at an angle behind
  your normal text), you will need a PostScript printer.  If you have such a
  printer, you can either use the Watermark macro from newmacro.doc.
  Alternately, insert a Print field into the header, containing the following
  PostScript code:
  
     \p page "/Fn {findfont exch scalefont setfont} bind def
     0.98 setgray
     50 600 moveto
     -45 rotate
     180 /Helvetica Fn
     (DRAFT) show"
  
  This puts the word "DRAFT" at a 45 degree angle across the page in very
  light grey large letters.
  
...........................................................................

6.6.22.  WordPerfect for Windows: changing the background color
---------------------------------------------------------------
  WordPerfect does not allow you to set the colors directly (except in Draft
  mode); to change background color, you will need to change the systemwide
  default colors in the Control Panel.
  
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.  APPLICATIONS
================
  
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.1.  Windows 2.x Applications
==============================
  If you run in real mode of Windows 3.0, the old applications behave just
  like in 2.x, but have somewhat less memory available to them.  If the
  applications are "well-behaved", they may also run in standard and 386
  enhanced modes, but Windows will first warn you with a "nag" message that
  the application wasn't written for Windows 3.x.  If you run a ill-behaned
  application in standard or 386 enhanced mode, the application will likely
  crash.
  
  If you have a 2.x application that runs well in all modes, you can mark it
  Windows 3.0-compatible using either the mark3.exe or the nonag.exe utility.
  Both are available from cica.
  
  Basically, Windows 3.1 will no longer run Windows 2.0 applications.
  
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.2.  Troubleshooting
=====================
  
...........................................................................

7.2.1.  AllType: converted TrueType fonts not in same family
------------------------------------------------------------
  When AllType converts a, say, PostScript Type 1 font into TrueType, it does
  not maintain the connection between the Regular, Bold, Italic and Bold
  Italic fonts in the same family.  Thus, if you have a font called Franciano
  and select bold in your word processor, you will get a synthesized bold
  version, not Franciano Bold.
  
  To correct this, you might try a shareware utility called renamett, which
  allows you to specify the family of the font.
  
...........................................................................

7.2.2.  Ami Pro: table of contents
----------------------------------
  If your page numbers in the Table of Contents are all 1, you have likely
  generated the TOC twice without making any changes.  To work around this
  bug, make a trivial change to your document, and regenerate the table of
  contents.
  
...........................................................................

7.2.3.  Ami Pro 2.0: divide by zero error
-----------------------------------------
  If Ami Pro crashes with a Divide by Zero error in Windows 3.1, check the
  version number in the About... box.  If your version is earlier than 306,
  contact Lotus for a free upgrade to 306, which is fully compatible with
  Windows 3.1.
  
...........................................................................

7.2.4.  Ami Pro 3.0: overlapped screen text
-------------------------------------------
  On some configurations, selecting a block of text and then starting to type
  over it will not erase the existing text first before placing the new
  characters on it, resulting in a corrupted screen display.
  
  As a workaround, you may choose to either use draft mode or to turn off
  full justification.
  
  A fix diskette for this problem is available by calling Lotus technical
  support.
  
...........................................................................

7.2.5.  Ami Pro 3.0: slow printing
----------------------------------
  If you are suffering from slow printing with Ami Pro 3.0, try the following
  steps to improve the printing speed:
       * Disable Print manager in the Windows Control Panel
       * Disable Background Printing in Ami Pro's Tools: User Setup: Options.
  
...........................................................................

7.2.6.  Corel Draw!: can't rotate bitmaps
-----------------------------------------
  If you attempt to rotate a bitmap (such as a .bmp, .gif ot .tif file),
  Corel Draw! will only display a gray rectangle.  This affects only the
  display, however, and the rotated graphics should print correctly.
  
...........................................................................

7.2.7.  FrameMaker: scrambled dot-matrix output
-----------------------------------------------
  FrameMaker will produce correct output only if the output device has square
  pixels; that is, your printer must have the same horizontal and vertical
  resolution.  A 144 horizontal by 192 vertical resolution will produce
  scrambled output.  Unfortunately, the only choices are to use your printer
  in a "square-pixel" resolution, or to switch to a printer with such a
  resolution (most laser printers have square pixels).
  
...........................................................................

7.2.8.  KA9Q: dropped packets
-----------------------------
  In order to run properly within Windows 3.x and not drop packets, you need
  to do two things:
       * Start KA9Q with the -w option
       * After starting KA9Q, start winpkt
  
...........................................................................

7.2.9.  Norton Desktop for Windows: can't format in the background
------------------------------------------------------------------
  While Windows is limited by DOS in some of its multitasking capabilities
  (such as disk i/o), it can format floppies in the background (File Manager
  does it!).  NDW arbitrarily refuses to let you do anything else while
  formatting -- it's a design feature!
  
  Personally, I only buy preformatted diskettes!
  
...........................................................................

7.2.10.  Norton Desktop for Windows: crashes from selecting files
-----------------------------------------------------------------
  Norton Desktop, both versions 1.0 and 2.0, tends to crash if you select
  multiple files and try to drag them to several places on the screen.  No
  fix is currently available.
  
...........................................................................

7.2.11.  Mathematica 2.0 for Windows: problems with Windows 3.1, other
problems
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
  Mathematica 2.0 does not work well with Windows 3.1.  It also has a host of
  other problems which exhibit themselves even under Windows 3.0.
  
  The cure is to upgrade to Mathematica 2.1; the upgrade cost is US$ 50.
  
...........................................................................

7.2.12.  NCSA Telnet [in DOS session]: crashes in a window
----------------------------------------------------------
  The standard Telnet does not work well in a DOS session inside Windows
  3.1's 386 Enhanced mode.  There are three possible workarounds:
       * Load the packet driver inside the DOS session, not before entering
          Windows
       * Use WinPkt (available free by ftp) instead of the standard packet
          driver
       * Use PktMux 1.1 (available free by ftp) instead of the standard
          packet driver
  
...........................................................................

7.2.13.  PageMaker 4.0: font selection box won't scroll
-------------------------------------------------------
  This is a known problem.  The workaround to use, if you have more fonts
  than will fit in the selection box, is to press Ctrl+T to change the text
  attributes (and thus the font).
  
...........................................................................

7.2.14.  PageMaker 4.0: text color changes to almost invisible
--------------------------------------------------------------
  this problems stems from an incompatability between PageMaker and Windows
  3.1 video drivers.  Although no fix is currently available, you can work
  around the problem by switching between PageMaker and the other "color
  intensive" application (which changes the colors) with Alt+Tab instead of
  minimizing one and then restoring PageMaker.  If the colors have already
  been munged, start up command.com full-screen, exit it, and then maximize
  PageMaker again to restore the colors.
  
...........................................................................

7.2.15.  PageMaker 4.0: WordPerfect and Word for Windows import
---------------------------------------------------------------
  As shipped, PageMaker 4.0's import filters do not support WordPerfect 5.1
  for Windows (although WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS is OK), or Word for Windows
  2.0.  If you cannot locate the import filters at an ftp site or CompuServe,
  contact Aldus for free updates.
  
...........................................................................

7.2.16.  Pathway Access 1.x: terminal font
------------------------------------------
  If in your 10x16 terminal font the uppercase 'K' and lowercase 'k' appear
  identical, contact Wollongong for an update to a corrected terminal font.
  
...........................................................................

7.2.17.  PC Tools 7.1: restore problems
---------------------------------------
  PC Tools 7.1 does not check backups for data integrity while restoring,
  thus possibly restoring corrupt data due to media errors on the disks.
  This is not a bug, but a deficiency in PC Tools, and is unlikely to be
  corrected prior to the release of the next version.
  
  PC Tools also sometimes corrupts the last disk while doing a restore.  Once
  the last disk has been read, you should immediately remove it from the
  drive.
  
...........................................................................

7.2.18.  Procomm Plus for Windows: Zmodem transfer startup
----------------------------------------------------------
  If you initiate a Zmodem transfer from Procomm, the other end of the link
  may or may not automatically detect the start of a transfer, depending on
  the software at that end; it's not dependent on Procomm.  Specifically, the
  sz/rz software on Unix does not start Zmodem transfers automatically.
  
...........................................................................

7.2.19.  Quattro Pro for Windows: High resource requirements
------------------------------------------------------------
  Quattro Pro always uses a large amount of Windows' available system
  resources, and if you do heavy graphics, you can exhaust all available
  resources, making it necessary to restart Windows.
  
  This is apparently due to Borland's use of the OWL libraries, and no fix is
  yet available.
  
...........................................................................

7.2.20.  Quattro Pro for Windows: OLE and DDE problems
------------------------------------------------------
  Quattro Pro's OLE and DDE functionality is acknowledged to be buggy;
  however, no fix is yet available.
  
...........................................................................

7.2.21.  Quattro Pro for Windows: Saving over foreign formats
-------------------------------------------------------------
  If you open a foreign format (such as Excel or 1-2-3) spreadsheet, make
  some changes, and select File / Save, Quattro Pro' will delete the original
  document prior to telling you it can't save it.
  
  No fix is yet available.
  
...........................................................................

7.2.22.  Quicken for Windows: conflicts with communications software
--------------------------------------------------------------------
  If Quicken produces a General Protection Fault on startup when you have a
  communications package already running, it is likely trying to get at the
  serial port (which is already in use).
  
  To correct this problem, select Edit / Preferences / Electronic Payment,
  and disable all the bank accounts.  Click OK, and exit Quicken.  If this
  does not cure the problem, select Edit / Preferences / Modem Settings, and
  set Quicken to use a different serial port than your communications
  package.
  
  If you actually want to use the electronic payment feature of Quicken, you
  will not be able to run it at the same time as a communications package.
  
...........................................................................

7.2.23.  Ventura Publisher 3.0: divide by zero errors
-----------------------------------------------------
  Ventura Publisher 3.0 may get frequent divide by zero errors when used with
  Windows 3.1.  These appear to be related to non-Microsoft TrueType fonts,
  which Ventura is unable to use reliably (the TrueType fonts from CorelDraw
  also cause problems).  You may wish to remove either all or selected non-
  Microsoft TrueType fonts from your system to prevent the Ventura errors.
  
  Ventura Publisher will also refuse to run with a display driver which uses
  more than 256 colors.
  
...........................................................................

7.2.24.  WinFax Pro 2.0
-----------------------
  If you are having difficulty sending faxes with WinFax Pro, check the date
  of the file mod.exe; if it is 1-16-92 16:51, 62,976 bytes , you should get
  a replacement from Delrina (call cuatomer support at (800) 268-6082).
  
...........................................................................

7.2.25.  Word for Windows: accessing fonts
------------------------------------------
  Word for Windows shows in its font menu the fonts currently available for
  the selected output device, not the display device.  You can still use,
  say, vector fonts that you installed, by typing the name of the font in the
  edit box.  Windows will draw vector fonts on the output device without
  problems -- you may or may not like the results. Screen fonts are also
  useable for printing on dot-matrix printers.  These problems do not occur
  with TrueType fonts in Windows 3.1, as they are available both on the
  printer and on the display.
  
  After you have installed new fonts (TrueType, ATM or any others), you need
  to force Word for Windows to refresh its output device font list.  The
  easiest way to do this is to do File / Printer / Setup, click Setup, then
  click OK, and finally OK again.
  
...........................................................................

7.2.26.  Word for Windows 2.0: can't install additional components
------------------------------------------------------------------
  If Word for Windows won't install additional components (such as the
  thesaurus or spellchecker) because it claims Word is not yet installed,
  check your win.ini file, and make sure that under [Microsoft Word 2.0], you
  have the line ProgramDir=C:\WINWORD (or whatever your Word for Windows
  directory name is).
  
...........................................................................

7.2.27.  Word for Windows 2.0: equation editor fonts
----------------------------------------------------
  If Word for Windows complains about missing MT Extra or MT Fences fonts,
  but they are installed in the control panel, you will need to reinstall
  them (this most commonly happens if you upgrade to Windows 3.1 after
  installing Word for Windows).  This is easiest done by using Word's Setup
  program to remove Equation Editor, removing the MT Extra and MT Fences
  fonts with Control Panel, and then reinstalling the Equation Editor.
  
  This bug most frequently occurs if your printer port is set to FILE: when
  installing Word for Windows.
  
...........................................................................

7.2.28.  Word for Windows 2.0: equations have too much white space
------------------------------------------------------------------
  If you're using superscipts or subscripts in your equation, there will
  likely be too much whitespace above the equation.  If you check the
  character format, the equation will be subscripted by a large number, such
  as 40 points.  You can manually reset the subscript amount; however, the
  subscript will be set again when you print, if you have Update Fields
  checked under File / Print / Options.
  
  You can also use the following macro (written by Harvey Cohen,
  hsc@honet6.attcom) to correct the spacing of all the equations in your
  document:
       Sub MAIN
       StartOfDocument
       ViewFieldCodes 1
       EditFindClearFormatting
       EditReplaceChar .Font = "", .Points = "", .Bold = - 1, .Italic = - 1,
                 .Strikeout = - 1, .Hidden = - 1, .SmallCaps = - 1,
                 .AllCaps = - 1, .Underline = - 1, .Color = - 1,
                 .Position = "0pt", .Spacing = ""
       EditReplace .Find = "^19EMBED EQUATION ", .Replace = "^m",
                 .WholeWord = 1, .MatchCase = 1, .Format = 1, .ReplaceAll = 1
       ViewFieldCodes 0
       End Sub
  
  This problem is corrected in Word for Windows 2.0b.
  
...........................................................................

7.2.29.  Word for Windows 2.0: file too big to save
---------------------------------------------------
  This appears to be an oocasional problem with versions 2.0 and 2.0a,
  although most users never experience it, even when working with large
  documents.
  
  Some of the workarounds that have been reported to work for some users are:
      Select the entire document and paste it into another document
      Select a non-PostScript printer and save
      Save the document as RTF
      Turn off Fast Save
  
...........................................................................

7.2.30.  Word for Windows 2.0: headers and graphics
---------------------------------------------------
  If you have problems with disappearing headers or footers, or with
  displayable graphics not printing, call Microsoft customer support for an
  upgrade to version 2.0a.
  
...........................................................................

7.2.31.  Word for Windows 2.0b: printing from Print Preview
-----------------------------------------------------------
  If you install the macros in pss.doc (included with Word 2.0b), you will no
  longer be able to print from the Print Preview window.  The following are
  two workarounds provided by Ron Apland <apland@mala.bc.ca>:
  
      Select Tools / Macro / Edit FilePrint, erase the existing macro and
      insert the following:
        Sub MAIN
            Dim dlg As FilePrint
            GetCurValues dlg
            Dialog dlg
END--cut here--cut here
