Sorry not to be clear. I wrote my note immediately after using the nightlydownloader. The version is listed as CVS-HEAD without any build info. The check version menu option does not give me any version info either. > What symptoms are you getting? eg. AbiWord crashes; print dialogue closes > but no activity in print queue or at printer; wrong output gets printed; etc. Again sorry: I guessed the printing problem wd be a FAQ with an obvious answer. (I'm new to AbiWord.) The problem is with the printed letter spacing. AbiWord prints the document with the inter-character spacing too big (and as a result does not fit to the page). Linespacing looks probably ok. > Do the symptoms look like any of the previously reported Windows > printing bugs in Bugzilla? There is a meta-bug tracking Windows printing: > http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3239 > Comment 10 in the above bug gives a possible solution. I do not use Office XP. I usually print to HP LaserJet 6L. But I tried printing instead to Acrobat Distiller (version 5). I still see the letter spacing problem: the document is printed with letter spacing different from that with which it is displayed. So I backed off to version 1.0.4 and printing is OK. Cheers, Alan Isaac PS I just noticed that copy and paste are not working in the nightly download version. Or rather I noticed that paste is not working: 'copy' copies to the clipboard but 'paste' does not paste the clipboard into the document. ----------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
