I, too, generally like the ease of use and general feel of the MWII
interface. (Though the Word-style ruler will take some getting used
to.) I have noted one major problem with MWII, though.
MacWrite II will not print properly on an Imagewriter!
MWII suffers from the same disease as FullWrite. Imagewriter printing
will only produce margins and ruler settings on the paper that match
the ones on the screen in Tall Adjusted mode. On the other hand, Tall
Adjusted extends the widths of the individual letters, distorting the
appearance of fonts.
There is no mention of this situation in the MWII manual. The user is
left to figure out why this gigantic left-hand margin appears on the
paper but not on the screen.
And there was such a handy model of how to do Imagewriter printing
correctly. It's called MacWrite.
