All, Excellence has a line rcognition bug, after changing fonts in documents the first line prints and then there appears to be an extra 1/16" gap in the space between it and the second printed line. The following lines appear to be correctly spaced. This bug is major cosmetic problem and prevents the serious use of the program for any DTP application. Their appears to be no problems when using it as a WP though, (But what the h**l, if I neede one of those I could use WP). John

John, I presume this means you got the package. Was it complete or was it still a beta version? Don

Don, this is the real bird Don, no beta notes…plus it appears to be totally implemented….definately NOT a word processor but maybe REALLY a desktop publish prog…(looks like a damn Apple program or port (???) oh well, they even sent me a COMPLIMENTARY (hoho) copy of Sideways (which I already owned and payed for…wish they had asked me before hand)….program is too large…and must use hard disk drive or have at least 3 floppy drives working..they butchered WB 1.3 that was sent along but did include new drivers and did implement Postcript devices (they really do work, by the way.)

John, Ok….then to be honest, I guess I have to ask was it worth the wait? Don

Compare it to WordPerfect. For those of us who need word processors, and like word processors, it doesn't come close to WordPerfect is what you're saying?
