The user will have the option of using either WordPerfect printer drivers or Windows printer drivers. It was not clear whether using the WP printer drivers also causes the program to associate printer parameters with the document. By the way, WPfW looks like it will be an outstanding product. Granted, a good demonstrator can make anything look simple, but it looked very intuitive and easy to use (more like AmiPro than WfW). Unfortunately, it also had a lot of bugs...they will be hard-pressed to make their June release date. |> Please fix this one MS, or WordPerfect please ignore the Windows |> printing standards in WP4W. |> Jon Greene Data General, Westboro, MA
