- NEW STRANGE PROBLEMS FROM THE WORLD OF MAC
-
- As if the weird modem and SCSI port questions were not enough, here is
- another weird problem.
-
- I have Wordperfect 2.0.4 running on a IIsi (works fine) and Quark (a good
- product from a lousy company) running on a IIfx. I type letters on the IIsi
- and save them to the IIfx [running System 7 on both]. My letterheads are
- Quark templates so I open them, import the WP file, and print from the
- IIfx.
-
- A couple of times I noticed that even though I had spell checked my docs in
- WP they printed with errors in Quark. Here is what happens. Let us say I
- come across a spelling mistake, WP offers a replacement, I double click
- the correct word, it is replaced in the document, and when all is checked
- and done, I save the file. When I Get Text in Quark BOTH the incorrect and
- the correct word show up and are printed. eg
-
- This is spalling mistake
-
- [after spell checking, correcting, saving opens in Quark Express with Get
- Text as:]
-
- This is a spellingspalling mistake
-
-
- I thought Wordperfect was writing both words in the file but when I
- reopen the document in Wordperfect I just see the correct sentence.
-
- This is a spelling mistake
-
- What is going on!? Of course I will call Wordperfect Tech Support,
- probably the greatest in the World for any product/industry, and of course
- I do not want to spend $25 to just ASK Quark Tech Support [and they keep
- the money whether they can solve the problem or not].
