So... the spell check is not usable... The only way to make this work is to set in Control Panel the Spanish Idiom too and change it with CRTL+SHIFT before using W97. Understood ? D'you know any patch ??

Are you using a printer driver that -> exactly matches your printer? I'm using true type fonts, we're on a oa/lan system, using a HPIII laser printer. What I see on the screen doesn't print. Seems that if the content in one of the columns gets to a certain length is when the problem happens. I just have to shorten the length. I like using these when preparing a lesson plan, etc. If the column is shortened (what jumps over or even more) and placed below in a new column it then will print correctly. --- WILDMAIL!/WC v4.12 * Origin: Morning Star - Sugar Land, Texas (281)265-2798 (1:106/3118.0) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 156 MS WORD Ref: ECN00001 Date: 08/18/97 From: BOB DAVIS Time: 04:17am \/To: WALTER BAUER (Read 4 times) Subj: Using tables WB> I like to use tables when creating certain documents, WB> policies, etc. however I've noticed that if you type to a WB> certain length within a column in a table it doesn't print WB> right.
