- WP4Win is not really WYSIWYG; it's more of a pseudo-WYSIWYG. To demonstrate
- this select normal (non-draft) mode. Select a proportionally spaced font
- like Times Roman. On the first line of a document hit TAB and type some
- text. On the second line of the document, SPACE over until the cursor
- is directly under the text in the first line and type the same text.
- If you Preview or Print the document, the text in the two lines will
- not be lined up at all, even though they appear to be lined up on the
- screen. Thus, what you see is not always what you get in WP4Win. There
- may be other situations like this too.
-
- Despite this little flaw, I think DOS/Windows WP is much better than
- DOS/Windows Word.
