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).

Subject: Re: [Dataperf] Printing in WP


MANY years back it was WP DOS, but since then I've worked through Win 
95, XP and now 7, and many of the versions of WP from 4.2 to present X5.

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.
