- I've been a faithful user of Ami Pro 1.1 (yes, 1.1) for years, and when
- I upgraded to Win 3.1, I got Word 2 to replace the old Ami (even though
- it worked OK with even 3.1! - I just thought that Word might as win 3
- app be speedier and more reliable). Word is mostly OK (I love the key
- definitions - I was able to program all the familiar ctrl sequences from
- Ami to Word), but there's a problem (IMO) with zoom states and character
- spacing.
-
- If I hit "show full page" in layout mode (that's where I work anyways),
- the justified columns are no longer justified - in screen. Ami was able
- to keep justified text justified, no matter what zoom. Word doesn't
- always justify properly on screen even in print preview. I've got 1Kx768
- display, so the resolution shouldn't be a problem.
-
- Is this just a problem with Windows fonts, or is Word simply incompetent
- with this feature?
-
- Oh, and another oddity in Word: I tried to put two about 1/3 page size
- frames in an empty page; the other aligned to center-top-rel. to margin,
- the other center-bottom-rel. to margin. Word always either hid the
- topmost frame (i.e. didn't show it), or it dumped it to the top of the
- next page. The only way I was able to get the both frames to be visible
- on the same page was to position them slightly overlapping each other.
- Anybody know what gives?
-
- Thanks for any info.
