Have you gotten the latest upgrade for WordUp (v.1.30)? Most of the
printer drivers Neocept uses now offer a "draft" mode. On my Epson-compat
Panasonic, for instance, I go to the Control Panel, and set the printer to
Draft. When I do Graphics printouts, the GDOS driver only makes one pass
instead of the usual two. Needless to say, it's a little bit unreadable, but
good if you need speed over quality.
>All in all, I highly recommend WordUp.
Second that motion. THIS is what Microsoft Write should have been. And at
only $80, it's almost a _steal_!
