- Wayne,
-
- This may not be comforting to you in the short run, but Ibid works fine for me
- in recognizing diacriticals, whether in author or title searches. Perhaps you
- have not copied over your data from Ibid under 3.1 to its semi-new format unde
- r 4.0?
-
- Secondly, just last night I printed out 10 copies of a 4 page document on an
- HP+ laser printer using the menu commands. Although I was sceptical when the
- "Done" message flashed on the status line so quickly, yet everything printed
- out as if we lived in a sin-free world.... Wish I had some explanation for
- your problems! (I should add to the above that I did not use the Ctl+Prt-Scn
- option but the pull-down menu.)
-
- Hope all you NB4 problems continue to "work themselves out."
-
- Cheers,
