- >WordPerfect is proving to be a nightmare! It won't import slides
- created with Harvard Graphics, it causes TrueType errors when I try
- to select a Postscript printer...
-
- I can only echo these experiences. I work with Wordworth rather than FW
- but thank the heavens that we have such packages available. We must
- routinely translate from WP and Word from manuscripts sent
- by colleagues, and working in native Word or WordPerfect has been
- a nightmare when graphics are involved, or special aspects
- are needed; just a day ago, we ended by sending a colleague
- THREE versions of a manuscript in WP6, WP5.1 and Word, because
- something in the file was crashing his system!
- As the previous poster implied, printing postscript
- is usually a hassle with WP. We found this even years ago
- when WP wrote their own drivers for postscript on the Amiga-
- really substantial problems printing to an Apple Laserwriter.
- However, our own world is rapidly moving to a Word/WP only
- environment. The situation makes the need for import/export
- conversions for WW and FW all the more important.
-
- I find the graphic import facilities of WW and FW incredibly more
- user friendly, useable, and borader in scope than the
- (thats broader) clone packages.
