Re: Word 5.1 in Executor problems



>>Bold font spacing is off.
>>It appears that the spacing is based on unbolded fonts

Good Guess.  Fixed in 1.2.2.

That hadn't been reported, but I just tested it in 1.2.2 and it's  
fixed.

I can't test "Line with Layout" right now; it's not installed on this  
machine.  I don't know what you mean by "MS-Word".

I'm not sure what you're saying here, that Word documents don't work  
right in "WordPerfect"?  If so, I highly suspect that the same  
documents produced on the Mac would do the same thing.  Info to the  
contrary would be appreciated if it's true.

*Not* fixed in 1.2.2 (sigh).  The trouble is that we've fixed so many  
bugs that we just couldn't hold Executor up any longer without  
releasing it.  The fault lies with me.  I wasn't sufficiently  
focused, partly being distracted by training new employees, partly  
being lured into getting sound to work.  I know that many of you will  
chide me for putting some emphasis on sound, but it really looked  
like we'd be able to have it working by last Christmas.  That and  
support for some games was too make Executor a nice Christmas gift.   
HA!  Live and learn.  The good thing that came out of our Sound work  
(still not done) is that we tracked down and partially fixed the  
effects of a nasty bug in the NeXT kernel.  Please don't think that  
all of our misdirection was spent on sound.  We also tried to get  
some apps going for non-customers ... that too was a mistake.

I know now:  "It's the {Word, Excel} bugs, stupid".
