Hi Ann,
Believe me, it takes years of practice. This is usually gained by
reading Microsoft Operating System manuals, which are not written in the
kind of English you and I are used to.
George.

That seems to be the general idea. I'll ask them about talking to you.
They're kind of snooty sometimes; like "just believe me and don't ask
questions". Bet that comes as a shock to all of you who have to deal
with PC Units out there.

Hi Ann,
I'd like to try and follow this up more specifically.
In the first place, what do Word documents have to do with it?
Are Freedom Scientific trying to say that if a Word Document has been
translated by Duxbury, and is sent to a Duo, then the Duo can lose it's
top of form.
I'm not right now trying to shoot from the hip, but would your
PC unit person be prepared to talk to me (on or off the record) on the
telephone, so that I can get a few more facts? If so, what's their
name, number and telephone extension.
George.

I was not told who said this to the person who gave me the info.
That person is employed in our PC Unit. We have been having lots of
problems with the Duo losing it's top of form memory. I was told that
FS gave out that the reason is Word 2000 docs. I don't believe it
either because we were having this problem way back when we were in Word
98 or 97.

Hi Ann,
If we are talking Duxbury here, then this is the biggest
load of unadulterated c..p I have heard in a long time.
Do you have the name of this uneducated idiot? By the
time he's finished reading what I have to say to him, he will remember
it when he is a grandfather with one tooth!!
George.

The PC unit at my agency have been told by
Freedom Scientific that people who are using the VersaPoint Duo must
convert any Word 2000 docs to WordPerfect at some lower version in order
for the VersaPoint Duo to work properly. Have any of you all heard
that? This is the weirdest thing I've heard in a long time.
