Thats Amazing… that you should suggest that those of us who paid good money and wasted two years plus on waiting, 1.5 and 1.6 and 1.61 should now go out and pay 150+ to get a better manual that by rights should bve mailed to us free of charge!! Fred, your partisanship makes you a poor beta tester and a worse spokesman for the product. The truth of the matter is that 1.8 is the first real release of the product. All previous releases were alpha and beta test quality stuff. Now since we PAID for a RELEASE quality version of the software and manuals, that is what we should get. Thanks for informing us "loyal" PageStream users that we are being screwed again in the manual department. As for all the bugs I reported I stand behind every one reported here as all were reported to SL with accompaning disks. The only reponse I got from them was a half-assed attempt to attribute all the bugs to "improper use" of the program. What does that mean? If a pilot of one of my flight control systems puts in forward stick when I think he should be rolling, and I roll him upside down and he crashes than I can say the sucker deserved to die 'cause he didn't use the program right? Come off it! Program stability and robustness should NOT be dependant on the user knowing exactly what steps the developer had in mind to accomplidh some goal and if at cerain times, certian operations are detrimental to the system LOCK THEM OUT. <continued>
