 I didn't say that I use all the different fonts and pitches in the same
 document. I use the draft mode in ProWrite and select the font and pitch
 using the printer console. However, I can use Italics, Bold , color and
 underline in the same page, even in the draft mode.

 True, the draft mode using the Topaz font is not true WYSIWYG. Then I'm
 more concerned with the printed document rather than what I see on the
 screen. Since 2.5 is able to handle most of my present needs I'm in
 no hurry to upgrade to 3.0.
