Good to see Gold Disk on line again!
I have couple of comments that you may or may not have heard, but it's been
a while since I've looked around the Arts Forum (most of my time over on
AmigaTech), so I don't know the up-to-date topics.
Anyway, here goes…
1) I could really use a Forms tool that works with ProPage. We
have a
few people over in our Human Resourses departement and
Commercial
Banking Group who have tried to use ProPage to create forms.
They
get further than they would using WordPefect on PCs, but they
still
run into a large number of problems. Example forms would
include
application for employment, expense report forms, etc. Mostly
things with a lot of lines, boxes, and words that all have to
line
up.
2) I would really like to see some of the gadgets available in
ProDraw
become available in ProPage. The adjustable magnify comes to
mind!
3) Odd shaped boxes… Text flow on both sides of a box… you've
heard these before.
4) Hot links between ProDraw and ProPage. From ProPage, I would
like to
be able to click on a graphics box, select EDIT, and *POP* — be
in
ProDraw to edit the graphic. Exit ProDraw and *pop* — back in
ProPage.
5) In order to get color-filled, outlined fonts in ProPage I have
to
create my Text in a box, change the ink color to the inside
color
that I want, duplicate the box, put the second box on top,
select
the box, choose OUTLINE, and change the ink color again. If I
want
to change the text I have to be careful to change BOTH boxes.
I would rather have the option to just FILL an outline font.
6) My experience with your tech support is that you guys are pretty
good
*IF* I manage to get you on the 'phone. What are the chances of
your
getting more 'phone lines and a larger staff? I *NEED* to talk
to
you!
