I am using Word version 2.0 on an IBM-PC/AT connected to an
Apple LaserWriter. This is a supported configuration. I
experience two gross bugs, that I am wondering if anyone
else experiences and better if anyone knows how to solve.
And even better, if MICROSOFT is listening, maybe they can
tell me how to solve these!
(1) The AT has over 1 mb of memory. On even the most trivial
documents, (i.e. 1 page) WORD complains that it is running out
of memory, and "SAVE" flashes continuously even after you have
saved the document. Note this only happens if I have selected
the printer driver for the Apple LaserWriter. It doesn't happen
with other printer drivers.
(2) When attempting to print, WORD can manage to get the first
couple pages of a document out to the Apple LaserWriter and then
it just gives up, continues to tell me that it is formatting
each page but the LaserWriter doesn't print anything. When this
happens it takes repeated attempts to get WORD and the LaserWriter
re-synchronized.
Any help that anyone can offer will be very much appreciated.
Thanks.
