X-Date: 1 Sep 92 16:19:02 BST X-Organization: ISCA Lines: 29 I have two problems with Word 5: 1. On my SE/30 (as on any other desktop machine) using the 'down' arrow key on the arrow keypad takes through through composed lines to the bottom one. When you press the key again, you are taken to the end of the line (and so ready to start typing agin). On my PowerBook 170 this *sometimes* works and sometimes doesn't - the cursor just stays in the middle of the bottom line and doesn't move to the end, except one character at a time when you use the right arrow key. Not a major problem by any means, but irritating. 2. In Word 4, there was a useful button in one of the Table configuration boxes, that allowed you to set the width of a single column, and then move on to the next column, set the width and so on (I am no longer running Word 4, so I can't remember the exact sequence or command name). In Word 5 the 'Table cells' command in the 'Format' menu, seems to do the same sort of thing, but *without* the 'set next column width' feature. Has this feature really disappeared or can I just not find it - I used to use it constantly and really miss it! Incidentally, am I the only one who thinks that the command 'Table layout' should be the one that does this (I am altering the layout of the table), when in fact the command is 'Table cells'? Any help/advice gratefully received! Marcus Banks Oxford BANKS@VAX.OX.UK.AC
