This is ridiculous. There is a documented bug that has bitten me repeatedly: copy a large picture from word into the clipboard. Word messes up the (so I was told) 128th byte. As an example do this with an equation created by expressionist. Often expressionist will choke on the mangled picture and crash. This bug makes Word 4.0 pretty difficult for me to use, being a Mathematician/Physicist! I believe there are several other bugs. For example type at the end of a paragraph, just before a paragraph with a different style, say a style that includes boldface, or outlined text. Now type " command-shift-+ 2 command-shift-space" and then continue typing. Often the text now acquires the style of the following paragraph, and no amount of command-shift-spacing will fix it, unless you select the offending text and then type command-shift-space. This is extremely aggravating, and never happened in 3.02. Has anyone else experienced this one? I could go on....but am not sure of my remaining complaints. Jim Meiss jdm@euclid.Colorado.edu
