Re: Another "Formatted View" bug?

["..." adpf@xxxxxxxx]

≪	I get a switch to page-line view regularly when I save a file
containing tables or, if memory serves, graphics. ≫

≪	Of course. Because there's no way to display tables or graphics
with Wrap_to_Fit (VAriable WF) turned on (=1, which is the way everybody
has Xy set up). It's a feature. ≫

The logic that you find so compelling, Robert, escapes me. XyDos has
specific ways to alter the view if wanted. Why should a save "of course"
do it too--the user's wishes be damned? If not a bug, it's one more
instance of v4 trying to outthink the user and failing unproductively and
intrusively.

≪	I suspect that more than a few of the complaints we're reading
here about Xy4 reflect a dogged persistence of III+ habits that are
obsolete in Xy4. ≫

Expecting the display to stay in the view the user designates == dogged
persistence of an obsolete habit?

≪	It takes some digging sometimes, but I've found solutions to
every significant Xy4 "problem" I ever (thought that I had) encountered. ≫

But not everyone wants to work almost exclusively in expanded view.

≪	I have to laugh when I read about the lack of documentation for
Xy4 XPL! Xy3's XPL was well documented, I suppose? ≫

Tech notes and responsive tech support compensated for XyQuest's sins of
omission, and one user wrote a book that must have embarrassed XyQuest
profoundly for its sin of commission. But xyW 4 has no counterpart even
for that $30 xpl pamphlet xyQ published.

≪	I'm sure Ken Frank is cheered by the die-hard loyalty to III+
manifest here. ≫

Nobody sent money to TTG and installed v4 expecting to continue using v3.
Credit for any die-hard loyalty to v3 goes to use of Signature and xyW 4.

≪	It suggests that these users have stepped defiantly off the
upgrade bus, & will not be purchasing new product anytime soon. ≫

What have XyDos 3 vs. 4 issues to do with a new gui product? I need a
Windows word processor, I need text db software, and I have no exotic OS
anxiety. If xy32 is free of xyWin bugs, I have every reason to upgrade.
XyDos 4 notwithstanding, twpfkaxw can be expected to be more xyW3-compatible
than winWord or winWP.

≪	Frank can safely ignore them. As he does anyway. ≫

Are you suggesting that *anything* posted here influences TTG? ... Ciao. 	--a
