The percentage window goes something like 20-30-40-50-60-70-80-99-100 on the MacIIsi and more like 50-100 on the +. This problem is probably because the command "Fast Save Enabled" was disabled. If you enable it, you get results like the Plus got. 2) In 'print_preview', trying to scroll -backward- through a document is terribly slow. Scrolling forward is fine. This is probably because of fragmented file due to Fast Save. If you either "Save As" save the file, or use "Keep File in Memory" (in the Preferences menu) it will scroll faster. -- ---=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--- Alan D.
