Adding a bit to the chorus of cries about MS Word 3.0 - What do they
think they're doing with printing?

It appears that there is no way to print in high-quality mode on an
Imagewriter. The buttons just aren't there in the print dialog box.

Now, I have to sympathize. As some of you may realize, high-quality
printing on the Imagewriter is a *total botch*, courtesy of Apple. Still,
isn't this a bit drastic?

Second, there is no way to set MS Word 3.0 to believing you wish to
print in "tall adjusted" mode. This is normally an option in Page Setup,
but they've moved it to Print, which means you don't see the horizontal
spacing when editing that you will get when printing with tall adjusted
set. If they are going to get rid of high-quality Imagewriter output, the
only use of an Imagewriter is for Laserwriter drafts, for which tall
adjusted mode is essential.

Still, it looks like a powerful package if they fix the problems.
