Following are following observations from two days using Word 3.01.


BUGS FIXED:
    Expanded character formatting:
	Now works with tab leaders

    Saving:
	Save as, make backup now appears to work correctly


REMAINING BUGS:
    Side by Side Paragraphs:
	Does not handle complex arrangements like below:
	   _______________________
	  |            |          |
	  |            |          |
	  |            |__________|
	  |            |     |    |
	  |            |     |    |
	  |____________|_____|____|
	The top of the lower right paragraph will align with the top of the
	paragraph above it.

    Expanded character formatting:
	Underlined text has gaps in the underline.

    Printing:
	After printing back-to-front, the first page prints repeatedly

    Reducing Graphics:
	MacDraw graphics are distorted when shrunk.  May be a MacDraw problem.


NEW BUGS:
    Fractional Width Printing:
	Does not center text correctly.  Long lines tend to overrun the
	right margin.  (I've only tried this with Bold text.)

    Reducing Graphics:
	Reduced Excel charts don't line up correctly.  In some places the
	fill of a bar chart overlaps its boundary slightly, making the
	boundary look ragged.


CHANGES I CONSIDER BUGS:
    Paragraph formats:
	When "space before" is specified, it always shows up on the page.
	In previous versions, it would be ignored if the line was at the
	top of a page.

    Multiple columns:
	The last page of a multiple-column document no longer has balanced
	columns.


Despite all the bugs, I still feel that Word is a good program.
