- Sadly, that's the only choice you currently have under Executor. Word

- You don't mention which version of Executor you have, but it sounds
- like you have 1.99q, which has a bug that results in "%%" being
- printed instead of "%" when printing the Document Structuring
- Comments. The double '%' confuse PostScript detecting filters. That
- bug is fixed in 1.99q6.

- Yes.

- In theory, yes. Although 1.99q definitely has problems.

- It is not (yet) too late. We've fired up our CD-ROM burner to help
- out a friend (i.e. not Executor related) and we have a bunch of blanks
- on hand, but we still need to get some release forms returned before
- we can release our first "official" Executor beta CD-ROM can be made.
- Once we have a stable beta CD-ROM our pre-beta prices will go away.
