I haven't tried any large fonts yet. With Win386, I was always getting out of memory errors, so I went back to Word 5. I was really p*ss*d at MS before beacuse of this. "What is the use of WYSIWYG when it can't display the fonts?" Now I see what they were up to. I sure wish Win3 had come out first. Now I'm going to have to give WfW another try. -- Marshall L.
