Don Good info to know, so you say WP X5 is the version to buy? I'm still using WP DOS 5.1 which I can't let go of because it has such a fast alphasearch (F5)on thousands of medical information files I keep -- Word only lets you search for the first letter (it's hard to believe anyone would put up with Words file search if you're accessing documents constantly throughout the day -- complete file searches WinXP or Win7 is so slow that I find it unusable).

Use of shell ended with the transition to Windows. If it is a document I print more than once in a blue moon, I may well automate the setup in WP with a WP macro - those are immensely capable, at least if I can find the right functions. Of course I set up my reports in DP to minimize any further formatting needs. Since I work with WP every day and since I don't print a lot of documents from DP, that has always been far easier for me than learning the ins and outs of printing with DP Spool or other direct printing means.
