Greetings!
Since long using NeoO1.1 I've never been able to create a 57 lines deep Courier 12 manuscript with a header with a blank line underneath, and a top margin of .3 inches and bottom margin of .8 inches, which is the gold standard format in Movie Magic Screenwriter. When I try to format NeoWrite this way, the pages randomly drop out of 57 lines a page to 56 lines starting from page 4 on up. So I had to make do with .24 in. top and .72 bottom in margins within NeoO to achieve a consistent 57 line standard format. To check myself, I found that the identical paper printout from Magic Screenwriter and Mariner Write 3.7.0 when held tight together against a strong light exactly match font pixel-per font pixel, space per space, margin per margin, unlike NeoO's copy. Recently, upon downloading and playing around with Mac OOo 2.0r3 (please give my kudos to that team!) I discovered in opening my NeoO formatted screenplay in OOo that the Courier 12 font somehow was minutely elongated because lines were overrunning margins to the next line, so via trial-by-lots-of-error I reduced the font scale width to 97% till it properly fit as previously formatted on NeoO and incidentally discovered that the text now perfectly fits a regulation top .30 in. margin and bottom .80 in. margin, a flat and even 57 lines per page throughout the entire document! This OOo doc perfectly passed the "light bulb doc match" test with other word processors I mentioned before. I suspect what throws NeoWrite's font micro-spacing off is due the font smoothing which renders Courier 12 so beautifully in NeoO, unlike the rather coarse looking Courier 12 in OOo (resembles non-smoothed font mode in OS-9 -- no reflection on the OOo Mac team!).
Hope this is some help to both wonderful Mac teams! James Greenidge --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
