Constantly. I have the newest version, got it no less than 4 weeks ago
direct from WP. The most recent crash, I was running back and forth between
the printer window and the main window, mucking about with margins, font
numbers, and pitch. Each time I printed the first page, the windows would
refresh slower… and slower… and slower. Finally, at a point where the
printer window was taking, oh, say 5 seconds to come to the front (on my 25
mhz '030, btw) it just hung up. I hung it up too.
I restarted the system, and imported the whole thing into PageStream. Now I
have a printable manual, and I have 100% control over it.
The only reason I even bothered to get the upgrade to WP is because our
Board Master manual was written using it (It's about 100 pages) and we
needed to update some stuff for a reprint (good news in itself… last time
we printed 1000 copies! Not bad for a vertical CAD system!) Anyway, It
seemed like an awful lot of work to re-margin, re-table, and re-etc in
PageStream, and plus, PageStream is NOT a fast program. otoh, PageStream
works for me the way WP works for you.
I've come to the conclusion that it's all in the way you use these things.
