I thought the demo of Word X had lousy rendering but so does AppleWorks. I turned on the font rendering for the menu and that is excellent but the actual document really stinks. OK, I remembered a haxie called Silk and downloaded it from Verstiontracker.com. It's shareware with a two week trial period. This does the job. Obviously Apple has not fixed the rendering with AppleWorks and this little bit of software does the trick. Note, reported funkiness but that this does not occur if you turn OFF the global rendering and then ADD AW to the options. The rendering now is not quite as good as Acrobat but significantly better. NOTE: if other applications begin acting up, deinstall the haxie. --- Funnier than a drunk with hiccups on a Segway... <http://www.JackRodgers.com> <http://www.lobatelacscale.com> JackRodgers at earthlink.net
