Lynn– In case it hasn't been noticed already, the word "right" is spelled "rigth" on the requestor you get when you go to chang justification. BTW–Why do you have to go through all that rigamarole just to switch justification off? Why not a simple toggle. Also, why should right justify be the default. It doesn't help reading unless you have a VERY expensive printer because the eye is not getting regular spacing and the brain has to work harder. I wish people would realize this. Now to some serious problems. I installed the STAR PoerType. oops PowerType. I got 11zOwlz as the first thing and the printer refused to obey margins–printing on my platten, dammit. Then I realized that there is a PM and a WP (programming and wordprocessing mode) on the printer. So I rebooted and set the printer to WP: that produced a GURU. This is an early release, and I am awaiting the new release. So far, I can't print anything. Neither the Okidata 92 not the Star PowrrType work. Please, please, please tell me that the new release of Wordperfect allows us to print. It is VERY frustrating to have purchased an Amiga and not a 128 primarily for Word Perfect and find that now I have to use the 64 to get anything done. So far, Customer Support at WP has been EXCELLENT in terms of response time and curtesy. But that won't help if I can't print. The Okidata-92, by the way, prints a 4 a linefeed and a 4 on ESC#1 from CLI or just a 4 if you ask it to print something for the first time. From WP it prints a 2–maybe that will help trace the problem. Also, the Star works fine from CLI with the Epson JX-80 driver–if you use it in PM mode. I tried selecting that in PReferences and using AMIGA printer with no luck. Thanks for listening. // Jim Ventola
