Paul – Transcript with ProPage IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO! I do all my composing, editing, spellchecking, and rewriting with TS. I think it is a perfect combination and is really what transcript is for. Have you ever had to edit an article down for size. I mean really cut it down, and then you have to maybe add a few sentences here and there to fill in the gaps. Well with TS running in the background it's a simple matter of Shift F4 in ProPage (Select All) and then R_Amiga "/" to throw the whole thing over to TS. While there you can add or cut all the sentences you want and have the full speed and convience of using a WP. With TS you are not waiting for screen redraws and font management etc. Also with TS you can R_Amiga "6" and it will show all ProPage embedded codes, so you can change font size, spacing, and other characteristis (sp?) of the font or text while in TS and then its a quick R_Amiga "/" agian to take it all back to ProPage. This all comes in especially handy when you have to use ProPage in a lower mag. where you can't really see the words, but you can still see enough to highlight a range and then throw it over to TS. Generally Paul, I think this is a better approach than having WP capablities built into the DTP package (aka Pagestream), because you are better utilizing the capacities of each piece of software. Here TransScript can be used separately from PPage to compose the bulk of your copy for any given project. Spellcheck it, (Which BTW the spellcheck is on to of the best!) edit, refine and save your different articles. Then load PPage and do your DTP work. If something needs correcting just hot key it over to TS and edit away. Paul – I can't say enough good things about the PPage/TransScript combination. Even if you have another wordprocessor (And I do to for other chores) it can not compete with transscript for ease of use with ProPage. – Roy Pahnke – Casper, Wyomin'
