I too just received WORD 3.01 in the mail.  But the annoying bug I saw in
3.0 is still there.  It seems that the program has its own ideas about how
long an inch is.  I set it for 1.25 inch left and right margins, printed it
out, and when it was done printing (fine) the margins reverted to 1 inch, and
the ruler *still* showed all of the text... The width of the screen, according
to the ruler, had increased .5 inch!  (6.5 inches of text, supposedly!)

Anybody any clue as to why the ruler at one point measures 6 inch screen, and
then switches to 6.5??  The times I notice this most is when I print some-
thing on the imagewriter, and then on the laserwriter... dynamic rulers again!
