#Deskjet
Message #49803
Sirs: I have a HP Deskjet that I am trying to use with Prowrite. While it prints ok using the Cour. built in font, when I try to use the Prestige or Helv or Gothic fonts, the spacing, and margins are way off. When I use this printer with Professional…
#Help – Deluxe Music
Message #25442
I have the old Deluxe Music Const. Set and am trying to get the music to print on my Deskjet printer. The problem is that after printing one staff it shoots out the paper and starts printing the 2nd staff on another sheet of paper and so on. Anyone have…
Prowrite Import
Message #48038
Dear Sir: Does Pagestream have a problem importing files from the new Prowrite 3.3 upgrade? I cannot get the files to work. Thanks for your help.
The mouse will often disappear after hitting the return key and not return until I close the doc. and open it again. The mouse is active because the menus appear, but the pointer is gone and I have to "feel" my way around. Hope this is clear…
columns
Message #46385
Sirs: I have a question concerning columns. I would like to use two columns in the main body but have a one column header so as to enter a large full width title (newsletter style). Can I do this and how?? Thanks for the help.
Sirs: I have the same problem with the disappearing prompt, only it happened to me when I go to the top line and hit return to push the text down several lines so as to put a new line of text ahead of the other text. It will not return…
#CrossPC
Message #50883
Saw an ad from the makers of CrossDos (a great product) that they had a new product called CrossPC that runs IBM programs. Anyone seen this yet and if so is it any good? Does it run slow, real slow, or brother this thing is s l o wwwwww. Thanks
I have seem it on the newsstands in my area, but who cares? l they ever do is bad mouth the Amiga about how out of date it is. Who needs it!
Amigavision/DeluxeVideo
Message #12327
I am now using Deluxe Video for titles and IFF pictures in my videos. However, it seems to have a few bugs when used with expan. menory and sometimes will crash. Question: Will Amigavision do a better job for mixing titles and pictures with videos, is it hard to use,…
#VGA
Message #18040
Is it possible to use an IBM monitor on the Amiga 500? Do you need a special cable and if so what kind and where do you get it? Thanks for your help.
I got Email from Atone this morning and they say that it will be released Dec 1, 1990. More info will be coming later. Sounds like a fun product.
I am sorry to see them get out of the Amiga market, but frankly, Mff was too slow in setting up a database. I like the program but it took forever to set up. They also supported the program. Sad to see them go..
There is an ad in Dec AmigaWorld for Atonce. List price is $398.00. Says it works in Amiga 500 or 2000 Just replace 68000 with this thing. Runs at 7.2 Mhz but says it runs as a task!! Supports hard drives, CGA MicroSoft mouse. Norton SI rating 6.1 Sounds too…
Well at least you guys have managed to get 2.0 up and running. I have spent the past three days trying to get it to print with no success. I have tried using the Epson 24 pin driver and when I try to print, all it does is advance my…
Sounds interesting, Rick, although they will have to come down on the price. Thanks for the info.
#IBM for the 500?
Message #34550
Has anyone seen or heard about a product by "Pulsar" that allows Amiga 500's to run IBM programs, graphics and all? It's a hardware product. Anyone know anything about it? Price? How it works? Does it work?
#fonts
Message #16055
I hate to ask a dumb question, but will Prowrite be able to use the Outline Fonts that are now being used in Prof. Page and PageSetterII or are they just limited to those products? If not, do you have any plans for coming out with your own "Compugraphic Type…
#ProWrite & IFF
Message #28191
There are two items that I would like to see included in Prowrite 3.0. 1. Columns 2. Drawing tools How soon do you expect 3.0 to be out? A year?

#PgS, What Else?
Message #28115
Have you noticed if the print qualty is any better for dot mat. printers or does it look about the same as before?
I should have said try printing it with the "Outline" style on, not block style. Sorry.
#Font Problem
Message #17349
In trying to get around the "broken or missing" parts of fonts, I found out tonight that if I turned on the "Block" function when using these problem fonts that it would fill in the missing parts rather nicely. Looks real good. Bold does not work to correct the problem…
Thanks for the info! I had an idea that it was not the font since the problem appeared in more then one font. Like you, I hope that it will be "fixed" soo since I have to use other fonts. And it seems to appear on the fonts that I…
#New Fonts-Old Problem
Message #17296
I just received the PageStream font Disk 2 which contains fonts "Elegance, West Side, and Roman Bookface" However, when I try to print out a page using Elegance and/or Roman Bookface using the Epson Q driver at point size 11-15, I still have the same problem of parts of the…
Mark, I wish they had a support forum here so that we would have more up to date info on release dates and delays. Like you, I understand it will be worth the wait. Its got to be better then PageSetter!
s for the information. I understand that they had some problems with bugs and delays. I have seen some printouts from the ST version and I can hardly wait to get the Amiga version. But I still say a year is a bit long to run ads before the product…
Thanks, I appreciate that. By the way, have you noticed how many of those large $6,000 ads don't even show a screen shot of the program. Some of those ads ran for months before I even knew what kind of game or product it was. The ads for games tend…

#Publishing Partner
Message #9177
They get $6,000!!! What do they get for ads of software that is real? Anyway, I just hope that when Pub. Partner finally does come out that it will have been worth the wait. Thanks for the information on the ad rates.

Publishing Partner
Message #9174
I have heard the same thing. The offer of a refund is, of course, the right and proper thing to do but I like most will wait for the program, since that is why I sent in the dollars to begin with. I guess that software companies and the mags.…
Steve, what did they do with all the disks of PageSetter that people sent in to them with their $50? Put the Atari verison on it?
I called the company that puts out Pub. Partner today and they said that they hope to start shipping next week. My guess is that means I will actually receive the program in late January, if nothing else goes wrong. I understand that this is a small company and they…
Publishing Partner
Message #8693
Does anyone know what the lastest release date is for Prof. Publishing Partner or whatever it is called now? I sent in my PageSetter disks many months ago and they charged my credit card some two months ago. I would like to think that its "in the mail" but I…

Do you folks at WordPerfect always get messages like these? I like WordPerfect on the Amiga. And I think the support is Outstanding! Keep up the good work.
