#50561-Can't Lose Color
Message #50604
I'm not sure the file was ever posted in a library. If so, it'd be in the FH library. The color was not in any lines or fills (you can't have a fill of a line). I did finally get rid of the color. In the Colors dialogue box, I…

Is there any way to set or modify a password in a standalone. I would like to include that option in a package I am working on.

Hi Richard, Thanks for the welcome. I think this program will help us out alot at our studio. We design many recipe brochures for Campbell's Soup. This, of course, involves alot of copy, which is sometimes hard to design around. Hopefully, PageMaker will make this much easier for us. Patti

Message #50574
We encountered a problem in working with Freehand. When scaling the element in the scaling options window with fills checked the fill does not scale with the element. (pg 5.15 of the User Manual). I am pretty sure we followed the suggested procedure (maybe there is something I skipped) but…

Upgrades are not serialized, once you register, we retain your old serial # for all future upgrades and that will be the only file we have on you. As you upgrade to future versions, you will need to remember what your old serial # is. So you won't need to…

Lori – Two weeks ago, I traded in my trusty MacPlus for a IIci – System 6.0.5 with 8*24 card and Apple 13-inch color monitor. Apparently, SuperPaint 2.0a doesn't get along with some or all of the new setup. SuperPaint will open, but when I try to open any file…

Gee, I'm glad someone *else* feels this way! Thought *I* was the only one that this bothered!!! (Nice patronizing little reply we got, wasn't it?)

Bika- Good question. I've never had such a problem with blends. Are the original 2 objects clones? Or have they been scaled at all previous to the blend? I have seen problems with text stemming from that. Tom Ludovise Geolink Communications Occidental, CA

Message #50511
the WP5.0 filter is available FREE (except for the time it takes to download), right here in one of the LIB areas (not sure which one offhand). Look around for WP5FLT.ARC or WP5FLT.ZIP as the filename.

#50476-#5.1 filter. When?

I don't think there's any intention of generating a WP5.1 filter… everyone is expected to use the current 5.0 filter, which supports everything but the new tables, equations, and such.
