- I've used 5.1 for some time now (since its inception). Have persevered with
- the crashes and strange behavior, though I'm beginning to think its time to
- change to something like TeX or similar.
-
- Anyhow here are the problems, any help appreciated.
-
- 1) When printing to a postcript printer via our Novell fileserver and
- the CAPTURE command, get a lot of Postcript Exception error messages.
- Sometimes this happens sometimes it doesn't. Does not seem to be
- related to the complexity of the document.
-
- 2) Have just started to use Parallel-Protected columns for a thesis. Inside
- these columns I can't seem to be able to create a footnote or a table.
- Eventually got around the table problem by creating a text box
- and creating a table inside that text box. This worked fine for about
- 5 minutes, but when moving the text box around, 5.1 hung (surprise,
- surprise).
-
- Once again, help appreciated.
