URL's for the rest must be written manually unless you're willing to close and open WP7 for each hyperlink. The saving of files with capital letters. Somewhat annoying: Sometimes difficult to limit hyperlinks to desired hrases. Difficulties in arranging text around images. Inability to format page to emulate your browser. As I continue to learn more about html language I find myself moving away from WP7 for this task.

In the envelope feature, I check to make sure that there is no default return address. Then, by entering the return address field, I run a macro that implants the return address that I want in the return address field. I find that I can do this with WP6.0 DOS and even put a graphic in there. * RM 1.31 * Eval Day 4 * --- Platinum Xpress/Wildcat! v1.2N * Origin: PC BBS : Massapequa, NY : (516)795-5874 (1:2619/110) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 163 WORD PERFECT Ref: E1D00000 Date: 01/08/97 From: MARK PROBERT Time: 06:25pm \/To: ROBERT BASHE (Read 5 times) Subj: WP 5.1+ GRAPHICS RB> Your experience with WPG and PCX formats surprises me... to my RB> knowledge, there has never been a change in the WPG format and the RB> PCX format is standardized.

I'd heard there were two versions of WPG for WP, one for 5.1D and one for 6.0D. I dunno about PCX. I'm wondering if these aren't primarily for "line art" type images rather than for photographs. RB> What does WP say when you try to import one of these files? RB> Just "incompatible format"? It doesn't report any error, just that when I edit the graphics (Alt.F9-Graphics, 9-Edit) I see no intelligent graphics but images that appear to be negatives. Selecting 5-B&W only aggrivates the problem. And, of course, they print the same way on the HP 5L. RB> The only problems I've ever had were with TIF files.

Herb, after building, upgrading and repairing PCs for a decade, I don't have to refer to notes or other references to know what the defaults are. Nevertheless, since you insist, check the quick reference in "Upgrading and Repairing PCs" (QUE Books, ISBN 1-56529-736-9).
