Changes V2.6
============
meaning: + new, ^ improved, * changed, - removed
+ Back/Forward (Shift-Left/Shift-Right) steps through history back and
forward respectively. Equivalent to Back/Forward buttons in browsers.
+ Pictures can be printed now (Shift-P)
+ Option TOPMARGIN/K/N: Inserts as many linefeeds as specified
on top of printed pages
+ Conversion of MSWrite documents with embedded OLE objects and pictures
^ Conversion routine for Guides now recognizes @{Amigaguide}, @{fg shine},
@{highlight} and @smartwrap (global and local)
^ Finding of referenced files with absolute paths should work better now
^ Conversion of MSWord documents somewhat improved
* Renamed "AsGuide mode" to "AsDT mode" (As DataType)
"AsGuide once" to "AGDT once" (AmigaGuide & DataType)
The former AsGuide mode no longer uses amigaguide.library for guides,
"AGDT once" does.
* Default setting @LIB changed to @CON
* WRAP removed from settings window and replaced by "Reformat".
This command can be started by pressing Shift-R. The current file will
be immediately reloaded.
- Several small bugs
- Enforcer hit when clicking on references in archived HTMLs/Guides.
