Thanks, fortunately I found the answer in something I overlooked — in the prefs on Pro Page. Thanks for your help, though.
I found the answer sometime around three a.m. this morning. For some reason I missed the screen mode in the prefs on Pro Page. UP came a requester box, and it showed that the pixels were out of whack. I reset it and it was just fine. THanks for the…
PPage screen help please
Message #216240
I need help with a vexing problem. I was fooling around with the screen mode function on wb 2.04 to see if I could increase the screen size of Pro Page when I got it so it magnified the Pro Page screen so high it is really unusable. I went…
Sure, I'll try anything at this point. thanks.
Andre, Thanks, but I actually tried just printing to the postscript and it didn't work. The sleepy sign came on as if it were working then just disappeared, and nothing came out of the printer. Usually, the light blinks on the printer indicating it's getting a signal, but it didn't.…
#Need LAserWriter driver
Message #209952
Anyone know where I could find an Apple LaserWriter driver? If, so how would I then get into my preferences list? thanks.
Lieven, I'll try a serial cable today. If it works, great, if not I'll just keep my old LaserJet around and plug it in when I need it. Thanks for the info. jeff
Hmmm, thanks for responding, but does that mean I cannot connect the Mac printer directly to my Amiga, let's say serial to serial? And if I do print to a file, I assume that would have to go out on a floppy, which would create problems since I am dealing…

Dan, Have you tried uploading notes or letters from the newton into your Amiga. That's what I was curious about. Jeff
#busted monitor
Message #186291
A friend of mine has an Amiga 500and is having trouble with her monitor. First, of all the on off switch is not longer realy functional. She has to push on on the button and then wedge it in with a straw to keep it on.Then the monitor does a…
Thanks, Wordworth may be "worth" a try. I liked the way the preview looked. I guess the only sticking points are that I do just fine with Wordperfect, and I'm not sure if I want to sink any more money into my Amiga. After eight years, I may be headed…
Paul, what about at typical resolutions. Do you still find it is an improvement? jeff
Mike, Thanks, I took a look at them with Diskmaster. I'm impressed. I have been a Wordperfect user for I don't know how many years now. I've written a few books with it and I still like the program, but without any suport I guess I feel like being on…
Michael, I downloaded the file and was able to read the compare text file after unzipping, but couldn't open the others even though there are icons for them. My guess is I did something wrong. Any idea? jeff Kisseloff/70253,1344
Betty, I downloaded the archlp.exe and then tried to read it, but couldn't. Whathave I done wrong. jeff
jeff, thanks, i'm heading there now. jeff
#Whap! Successor
Message #135500
To anyone, I've been out of touch lately and was wondering if there was a successor to Whap! I recall reading somewhere that there was. If so, how can I find it and get a hold of it. Thanks, Jeff
WP printing problem
Message #134231
To anyone, I am printing out a docucment using Wordperfect and an HP Laserjet II printer. It doesn't want to print out anything in italics. Any suggestions as to what I can do. I have a postscript cartridge, which I use for PPage. But when that is in theleft slot,…
Daniel, Thanks, please let us know. Jeff – via Whap!
Dale, Actually, for someone who lives and dies with cut and paste, npot having an undelete feature is crippling. Unfortunately, I use it a lot on WordPerfect, because I am unfortunately not word perfect. The file requester is also vital for word searches, especially since my work consists of knitting…
Dom Fontana, I've picked up this thread in the middle, so forgive me for asking. What can you tell me about Pro Text insofar as it being a replacement for Wordperfect? I'm finishing up my second book using Wordperfect, and while I don't require any real support from them, I'm…

Ken, Thanks, but I've got the drive. I just need the controller. If you care to separate them, let me know. Jeff – via Whap!
Wanted:500 HD ontroller
Message #84790
Wanted: A hard drive controller to use with an Amiga 500. (I have a Zetec drive for my 1,000 and just found out the controller's no good, although I can use the Simms. – via Whap!
Jim, I sucked it in (deeply) and bought one today. The cost with a Sony monitor and four added megsof ram was $2,970. I guess it was a g good deal but I'm feeling mighty thin. Jeff
CBM Reduces Price!
Message #53017
Steve, Is that $1999 for the 3,000 the reduced price or as it about to be reduced for there? Jeff Kisseloff – via Whap!
Richard, Thanks, I'm leaning toward upgrading. I just wish my 1000 was at least 98 percent stable. jeff – via Whap!
Denny, That was my problem–random crashes–even with the Rejuvenator, although they were much, much more frequent before it was installed. Now it mostly crashes when I turn on my modem or when I use whap to access Compuserve while Wordperfect is running in the background. Wordperfect used to crash all…
Denny, Thanks for such a thoughtful reply, but I'm still not sure what to do. What were the headaches that you mentioned? Do the add-ons overcook the 1000? Would some kind of power boost prevent that? Right now I do have a hard drive and six megs in my 1000.…
1000 Upgrade?
Message #52711
To all, I am considering upgrading my 1000. It already has a Rejuvenator. What I would like to do is put in an accelerator and a video enhancer and buy a multiscan monitor. Questions: Are my wasting my time and money. Am I better off with a 3000? Are there…
Betty, Thanks, I'll look into it, but I'm curious, outside of ProPage, what use would I have for 2.04? I'm a writer, so Wordperfect is on all day, and the program is just fine for me. I use ProPage for a side job. I'm finally getting the hang of the…
ProPage 3.0
Message #46187
To all, I just got off the phone with a technical support guy from Gold Disk, who told me that ProPage 3.0 is about to be released at the end of the month. They are charging for this upgrade, he said, because of the hostof new features (more tech support…
To WP: Booooooooooooooo!!!!! Love, Jeff Kisseloff – via Whap!
