 Maybe this was the only way they could fix the bug in 3.0 that I found.
 If you had space above (however generated) and tabs generating vertical
bars. In 3.0, the vertical bars would appear above the top of the column
or page.  I.E over top of text in the HEADER!  Now this definitely was a bug.

Soon as 3.01 arrived, I ran the text through re-paginate and the problem solved.
But yes, at the top of a column, the space before should be eliminated
(and any vertical bar not printed.)

ANOTHER BUG FIXED.

I built a small 3x3 table with vertical bars/boxes around all the text.
In 3.0 when passed through print merge, the lines (boxes) disappeared.
This has been fixed in 3.01.  My boxes remains.

BTW run stuff through print merge and pull in  <<include text files>>.
They were  Lighspeed C and Pascal text files in my case, never edited by Word.
I don't think this is done right.  Their style seems to still be taken from
the Word DEFAULT Normal style.  Not the including file  Normal style
or (as I would prefer) the style of the  <<INCLUDE file>> string.
(May be wrong, did not do extensive tests on this one - yet.)
