I know that this happens with STARWORD sometimes if paragraphs are reformatted. I imagine that you did this for the layout is not exactly as I sent it - I use RM.71 and wraparound at the 71 column, and this is as recorded on the disks I send. If you would like me to arrange differently then please say. This does not seem to happen with VIEW. The +90p on my envelope you can transfer to EUG funds. In respect of your remarks about 5.25" drives, I should be alright for I have eight at present. I hope I am not speaking to soon but I have had no trouble with 5.25" drives to date (except for the one damaged by Parcel Farce - a la latest Watchdog programme), and these are of varying manufacture. I did think that I might have some problems at some time so I purchased a PLUS3 - this was also to get ADFS. However, it is a single drive 3.5" so a I may get it modified or get another PLUS3 with double sided drive. Best wishes, Tony I USED TO USE STARWORD BUT STOPPED SOMETIME AGO BECAUSE OF THAT PROBLEM. THE REASON FOR WORDS SOMETIMES RUNNING TOGETHER IS I'M AFRAID SOMETHING IN CODE4. I DID TELL RICHARD ABOUT IT SOMETIME AGO BUT EVEN HE CAN'T SORT IT OUT SO US MEAR MORTALS WILL JUST HAVE TO TRY TO LIVE WITH IT, STILL IT MAKES A CHANGE FROM MY SPELLING. I NOTICE THAT YOU HAVE THE JUSTIFICATION ON ON YOUR TEXT, TRY SWITCHING THIS OFF. WITH VIEW IT CAN BE DONE IN TEXT MODE ON THE ELECTRON WITH FUNC K, ON THE BEEB AND MASTER WITH CTRL f3. I PROBABLY DON'T NEED TO TEL YOU THAT BUT IT MUGHT HELP SOME OTHERS. THE EASIEST WAY IS TO PUT *SETUP F IN THE !BOOT FILE WHICH YOU USE TO TURN ON YOUR WORD PROCESSOR,IE: !BOOT *DIR LETTERS *FX202,48 *WORD *SETUP F I CAN'T REMEMBER OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD HOW TO DO THIS WITH STARWORD.
