I wonder if you could figure out a general ratio for the size difference and adjust the width of the field to correct the text wrap on Windows. That's about all I can think of. On 1/1/18 5:04 PM, Peter Bogdanoff via use-livecode wrote: I think that the size difference is related to the

I think that the size difference is related to the specific font used. Georgia is displaying slightly wider in Windows than Mac. Helvetica seems pretty consistent. A Chinese font I use is much smaller in Windows. Changing Georgia from 16 to 15 is too drastic a change for me, so I need to keep

Yes, I am actually adjusting the field width individually for each “page.” But it doesn’t solve the problem of occasional “widows” at the bottom. Thus the thought about other formatting work arounds. Thanks, Jacque. > On Jan 1, 2018, at 3:39 PM, J. Landman Gay via use-livecode >

Try using a send in time to do the deletion? Also, with the settings you currently have, closing the stack SHOULD remove it from memory once any running scripts are complete. On Mon, Jan 1, 2018 at 9:03 AM, Graham Samuel via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Happy New Year
