Just curious ...
I've just switched from PageMaker 3.02 to PageMaker 4.0.
When I list my PageMaker 3.02 documents by name, I find that they
are called generic "documents". When I list them by icons,
I see the usual PageMaker 3.0 icon. How is this possible
if I have removed the PageMaker 3.02 folder from the machine?
Is is my PageMaker 4.0 that resurrects the dead icon?

On a related topic ...
What are some serious conversion problems you have
encountered when trying to read PageMaker 3.02 documents
with PageMaker 4.0? I have come across text blocks that
spill off below the page by a few lines, and on one occasion
two superimposed text blocks. Only thing is that I'm not
sure it couldn't be human error. Seems a little serious
to be a conversion problem ...
