We've encountered several bugs with PageMaker 3.0. If someone has some
ideas how to get around them, I'd like to know.
1. Importing Word files isn't flakey at times. It appears that you can't
move the ruler idents or you end up with a narrow column of text when
you place the file in PageMaker.
2. PageMaker crashes on us periodically when printing to the laserwriter.
We cannot make this error occur when we want it so testing what is
causing it is very difficult.
3. The paste command is very flakey. I copied a very simply graphic
onto the clipboard and tried to paste it into a PageMaker document
and PageMaker crashed. It does this for both paint and draw type
graphics. I've had other crashes resulting from paste involving
straight text.
Aldus has been no help. They won't admit these are bugs, but they can't
really offer much help either. For example, their advice with the Paste
command was "don't use Paste". I will admit that not using Paste did
stop the crashes...
