Alan, If anyone wants to know about the bugs in Corel 4.0, just take a stroll over to the Corel forum and read through the hundreds of complaint messages. Its pretty viscious . . . One thing I noticed with 4.0 was that after spending 40 minutes trying to find the manual's section on their new OCR program — there is no mention of it in any of the docs. It is clearly listed on the product box and in their ads but not in the docs or in the program's help index. After a long, long time I was able to call Corel and found that they "forgot" to include a section on the OCR in the docs — although the program is there: hidden in the Trace module. The consensus among the heavy users is that the Corel 4.0 ship date was forced to coincide with their stockholder's meeting. Alec Jason
