A named sort which I created but no longer need appears in the box along with 'All Records'. Please advise how it can now be removed permanently.

Yes - I was in Design mode. Since posting my query I became so frustrated not having the Toolbox available I reinstalled Approach and this solved the problem. Many thanks for offering help. Tony Grimley

In Approach version 9.7 I cannot use the Tools palette although it is on screen but off the form which I am trying to edit. I changed the screen definition which brought it back onto the form but it does not react to selecting a tool. Please advise how I can get it working again. Thanks TonyG57

After further enquries and help from Daniel Will-Harris I found a solution to the problem which seems to arise from the lack of provision of any kerning pairs in the misbehaving fonts. If you have FontNav or some other software which sets out the properties of a font you can check if letter...

The draft view is the same as the normal view but WP 11 also offers a brwser view and this shows the text correctly. I think I shall have to find a font to use instead of Goudy - it will be cheaper than investing in a new word processor. Many thanks for your help - at least I now know how to...

Many thanks for your prompt reply. My version of WP9 was an OEM copy supplied with my last computer so did not qualify for Corel support. Today a full copy of WP 11 was delivered and I loaded it and downloaded the Service Pack 2 - but it still produces the same result. My computer has an AMD 64...

I have a problem with a serif font, Goudy Old Style ATT (by Miles Inc) using it in WordPerfect 9 on a new computer running under Windows XP Home edition. Most of the text is invisible but what shows is corrupted and misplaced. The text appears OK in the Reveal Code section, the document will...

Thanks for the replies - I am getting a new computer with a processor speed 5/6 times greater than the present computer, lots of RAM and disk space and greatly improved graphics. Pity the upgrade is so expensive!

I am using CorelDraw v8 but, as I am moving from Windows 98 to Windows XP Home edition, I am considering upgrading to v12. Will the upgrade accept v8 as a valid starting version - one web site I visited suggested the upgrade only worked with v11.

Each record in my database can contain name details of up to 4 individuals. A report listing Surname, Forename and Title of all the people in the database has blank lines when only the the first one, two or three sets of personal details have been used in a record. Is there a way to produce...

I checked the Device manager list and LPT1 is shown as set up as ECP. Does 'MOBO' mean the motherboard? If so are there any tests which can be carried out? 'Debug' has confirmed LPT1 is properly set up. I have now passed the computer back to my colleague who was going to use it for charity...

Many thanks for your prompt response. I followed your instructions but there was a slight problem when I attempted to load the drivers. Although the computer had found it needed to set up LPT1 as an ECP printer (and had) it was not recognised as being available when the drivers attempted to...

I should have mentioned that the Compaq Presario is running under Windows 98 SE as are the other computers on which the Laserjet 2100M works OK TonyG57

An HP Laserjet 2100M printer works OK with all the computers to which I have attached it - except a Compaq Presario 4526. With help from others I have used 'debug' to check LPT1 is OK, the parallel cable works on the other machines and I have run through the 12 possible different options for...

Many thanks again for your help - I am nearly there. The good news is I have managed to get my macro working and it produces the mailing labels for one banking batch reference. The bad news is that I can only produce a report for one batch reference per session as I need something in my macro...
