MD>Hi, Leslie 319 and Everybody! MD>Yes I am getting all those silly returned messages too. What a MD>bummer! MD>I'm happy to report I found the solution to one of my problems---that MD>dash that I couldn't get right? Apparently our keyboard files at work MD>are all customized for the newspaper presses. When we get word counts MD>at work, we also get column inches. And when we want a dash, we push MD>control-hyphen, and get a symbol that resembles a big plus sign with MD>the bottom cut off. Well, I looked in the ascii part of the help MD>section, and sure enough, there was that symbol. So now I'm using MD>it, and the editor says they're reading it as a dash. MD>Now, does anyone have suggestions as to how I could set up that MD>column inch count? MD>Having fun with XYWrite!
