Following are following observations from two days using Word 3.01.
BUGS FIXED:
Expanded character formatting:
Now works with tab leaders
Saving:
Save as, make backup now appears to work correctly
REMAINING BUGS:
Side by Side Paragraphs:
Does not handle complex arrangements like below:
_______________________
| | |
| | |
| |__________|
| | | |
| | | |
|____________|_____|____|
The top of the lower right paragraph will align with the top of the
paragraph above it.
Expanded character formatting:
Underlined text has gaps in the underline.
Printing:
After printing back-to-front, the first page prints repeatedly
Reducing Graphics:
MacDraw graphics are distorted when shrunk. May be a MacDraw problem.
NEW BUGS:
Fractional Width Printing:
Does not center text correctly. Long lines tend to overrun the
right margin. (I've only tried this with Bold text.)
Reducing Graphics:
Reduced Excel charts don't line up correctly. In some places the
fill of a bar chart overlaps its boundary slightly, making the
boundary look ragged.
CHANGES I CONSIDER BUGS:
Paragraph formats:
When "space before" is specified, it always shows up on the page.
In previous versions, it would be ignored if the line was at the
top of a page.
Multiple columns:
The last page of a multiple-column document no longer has balanced
columns.
Despite all the bugs, I still feel that Word is a good program.
