I had a similar experience with Geometry Manager in a Win 2k environment; with so little consistency that I had to save a copy before each edit session. Total disaster. All fields on a card would disappear except for a line graphic.
Three things seemed to stabilize the situation. First, I made the positioning for all fields relative to the same side of the screen, second I used the stack properties to specify a minimum size for the stack and the constrains manager to specify max and min field width, finally, ignore the text content (constraints tab). The geometry manager also seems to prefer groups over stanalone fields. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sarah Reichelt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, January 28, 2002 7:26 PM Subject: Geometry Manager > Hi, > > I am having problems with the Geometry Manager.
