I recently discovered this group, and was delighted to find others who use
NB.  I am a couple of weeks away from finishing a final draft of my PhD
dissertation.  This week I printed out my first draft of the complete
document, including lists of figures and tables, and table of contents.
NB collected everything beautifully (except where I made a couple of
mistakes), IBID did the list of cited references like a dream, and I am
repaid for my hours of work in learning to use the tools.  But...
when the able of contents and other lists are printed out, there is
a ragged right edge. The LD function does not appear to work correctly.
     I am using NB 3.1, with an HP laserjet iii.  I have the 25-in-one
soft fonts, and edited the hp2-b.prn file to change the setup strings
so that Times-Roman from the B font-cartridge is called properly.  I
install the fonts into the printer at boot-up, so they are there.  All
the text prints beautifully.  But there is something wrong when the
program tries to figure out how many periods or spaces to insert to put
page numbers at the right margin.  Any ideas?  I am completely at a loss,
and have wasted an incredible amount of time reading the manual and the
customization guide.
     I'd be grateful for any help.
