NEW STRANGE PROBLEMS FROM THE WORLD OF MAC As if the weird modem and SCSI port questions were not enough, here is another weird problem. I have Wordperfect 2.0.4 running on a IIsi (works fine) and Quark (a good product from a lousy company) running on a IIfx. I type letters on the IIsi and save them to the IIfx [running System 7 on both]. My letterheads are Quark templates so I open them, import the WP file, and print from the IIfx. A couple of times I noticed that even though I had spell checked my docs in WP they printed with errors in Quark. Here is what happens. Let us say I come across a spelling mistake, WP offers a replacement, I double click the correct word, it is replaced in the document, and when all is checked and done, I save the file. When I Get Text in Quark BOTH the incorrect and the correct word show up and are printed. eg This is spalling mistake [after spell checking, correcting, saving opens in Quark Express with Get Text as:] This is a spellingspalling mistake I thought Wordperfect was writing both words in the file but when I reopen the document in Wordperfect I just see the correct sentence. This is a spelling mistake What is going on!? Of course I will call Wordperfect Tech Support, probably the greatest in the World for any product/industry, and of course I do not want to spend $25 to just ASK Quark Tech Support [and they keep the money whether they can solve the problem or not].
