Re: Word 5.1 in Executor problems
>>Bold font spacing is off.

Good Guess. Fixed in 1.2.2.

>>9/12 point courier do not line up.
That hadn't been reported, but I just tested it in 1.2.2 and it's
fixed.
>>Saving in non-Word formats:

I can't test "Line with Layout" right now; it's not installed on this
machine. I don't know what you mean by "MS-Word".
>>WP 5.1 does not work well. Pictures (creating in Word) don't come
thru at all. Styles are not applied consistently. This
may or may not be an Executor problem
I'm not sure what you're saying here, that Word documents don't work
right in "WordPerfect"? If so, I highly suspect that the same
documents produced on the Mac would do the same thing. Info to the
contrary would be appreciated if it's true.

*Not* fixed in 1.2.2 (sigh). The trouble is that we've fixed so many
bugs that we just couldn't hold Executor up any longer without
releasing it. The fault lies with me. I wasn't sufficiently
focused, partly being distracted by training new employees, partly
being lured into getting sound to work. I know that many of you will
chide me for putting some emphasis on sound, but it really looked
like we'd be able to have it working by last Christmas. That and
support for some games was too make Executor a nice Christmas gift.
HA! Live and learn. The good thing that came out of our Sound work
(still not done) is that we tracked down and partially fixed the
effects of a nasty bug in the NeXT kernel. Please don't think that
all of our misdirection was spent on sound. We also tried to get
some apps going for non-customers ... that too was a mistake.
I know now: "It's the {Word, Excel} bugs, stupid".
