I have access to Hab's private test area. I looked at his new test layout and it sent goose bumps down my back. It is so much superior to the layout I did that I'm excited. (And no you cannot access his area.)
It is good to see the recipe site coming into its own...that is to say mature.
Hab you are Da'Man~~! Thank you so much!
Olds
How about a teaser screen shot Old's??? ;D
For now I'll probably just use that layout for articles; trying to code the tables is driving me crazy. :) Once I get more comfortable with the codes, I'll use it for recipes also.
I think Trey said something about tables being added to the next version. Then again I could be wrong. However, it would be nice it they were and had the easy of use that they have in WordPerfect.
BTW I have both WordPerfect Suit and MS Office Suit and between us chickens you can keep MS -- I will stay with WordPerfect.

That looks amazing but I am still very appreciative of the current version
Job very well done
Looks real good. I like it ;D

To funny... I missed that!
hal4uk,
Thanks for catching that. I use spell check when I finish a draft. It would drive me nuts if I used it every time typed a few paragraphs or used cut and paste. Also typing in code for a few hours doesn't help matters. :)
Olds;
I got the enhanced editor to work with Firefox, but not in IE 8 or IE 7. So I will check the settings of IE to see it that can be corrected. It's either enhanced or standard, and I have to manually change the settings to switch between the two. In the past the "Switch Editor Mode" button gave me the ability to switch back and forth without changing settings, that button does not work.
Olds,
You are right. Habs is the man. He is an integral part of this forum. So are you.
Thanks to both of you and your efforts.
Olds,
My wife is a Wordperfect holdout also. She has written a Children's Church Curriculum that is used in Churchs coast to coast, Alaska and in Canada. It is a couple of feet thick. Unfortunately for her, Word has become the standard and it has caused problems in conversion.

The teaser looks great. Thanks for your time and effort Habs.

Has your wife considered coverting her document over to a PDF file?
I have PDF Converter 4 (there is now a 6) and it allows me to mix all formats into one PDF file. (images, Word, WordPerfect etc..)
I have WordPerfect 8 (1997) and the latest WordPerfect Office X4. The latter will convert to PDF but I have yet to find a way to manage the KB size in it.
Olds,
She is running the old WP 8 like you. We are looking for some easy converter to put everything on disc that cannot be manipulated, copied, and every page runs the Church's name who bought the product on the bottom. It also needs to be compatible with a WP8 conversion. She has used a lot of the bells and whistles of WP to produce this and conversions to Word do not come out.
We aren't looking too hard because I am sure it is out there. I have looked into Adobe as a platform but have not pursued it deeply.
Any advice is appreciated. It is a great product that gets rave reviews by all who use it. It is labor intensive and takes committed volunteers.
Thanks for your comments,
Pachanga
While I have not see PDF Converter 6 I will tell you that 4 is a snap! Just use the Assistance and point to the files you want converted. You have options. To combine all files into one PDF file or to create a single PDF files for those in your list.
Also you can set the quality of the PDF.
BTW as far a locking up your PDF file with today's programs anyone can screw with your information / file.
You can purchase PDF Converter 6 here: http://shop.nuance.com/DRHM/servlet/ControllerServlet?Action=DisplayProductDetailsPage&SiteID=nuanceus&Locale=en_US&Env=BASE&productID=139231400 It is their basic offering and it should do what you want. Plus it is less than $50.00.
Systems Requirements:
Windows XP 32-bit Edition with Service Pack 3 – Windows Vista 32-bit or 64-bit Editions with Service Pack 1
■Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or above
■256 MB of memory (RAM), 512 MB recommended
■130 MB of free hard disk space for application files plus 20 MB working space during installation.
Hope this helps,
Olds
Olds,
Thanks for taking the time to help and point in the right direction. I'll look these over. I'm glad you are a WP fan. You've given me some hope for an easy fix.

Acrobat security will keep the casual thieves away, but their security can be easily cracked with the proper (and marginally illegal) tools.
You can lock down a PDF so that it can't be modified, printed, content copied/pasted - to a point.
But you can still copy the file over and over... Or print screenshots of the PDF you are viewing.
PM me if you want some more info about it.. That's what I've been doing for the last 10 years. (IBM mainframe software development for PDF creation/conversion/security/content extraction)
Squirt,
Will contact you.

You be smart ... ;D
There is not a PDF file I have recieved that I cannot alter its content -- with either Word or WordPerfect. Some I can open up and alter with PDF Creator. This really worries me as 100% of my billings and renewal contracts are done in a PDF file format. The only saving grace there is if it is one is the creation date of a modified PDF file will be differant that the original. Then again I'm sure somewhere there is a hack to get around that.
Originally I'm sure PDF files were very safe, but today with all of the bells and whistles I believe there are as many holes in it as that are in a sponge.
squirtthecat If you know of something more secure in a PDF format and if it does not cost me an arm and leg PLEASE let me know.
Thanks,
Olds
Olds, I will let you know. I've just run across a PDF that is locked down pretty d@mn tight, and doesn't use any external CRM DRM gee-whiz stuff... My go-to 'cracker' software won't have anything to do with it, other than attempt brute-force attacks to get the Master password.
I'm tearing it apart now by other means..
I won't bore everyone with the details, and I will send you a dreaded PM when I find out more.
(due to the nature of the software I'm using to do this, I'd rather not announce to the general public what I am trying)

I'm not bettin against STC either!
Have you guys seen what he has done with an inferior Traeger?
Of course hal4uk will have to hold his Beer!
I use Adobe Acrobat 8, and can produce some very secure documents. A PDF file created with Acrobat is as secure as the author wants to make it. I'm not saying they can't be unlocked, but you can make it pretty damn hard for the every day end user.
If a document is easy to copy, or export to a word processor, the document's security is minimal. To find out what the author allows you to do with the document; open a PDF file and right click on it. Click on "Document Properties." While in "Document Properties" click the "Security" tab; that will show the "Security Method" and list the "Document Restrictions Summary" status.
This particular file was locked down in all aspects, *except* Content Copying for Accessibility..
I was never able to unlock the file to modify it's contents, but I used a slightly modified PDF text extraction library to mimic a screen reader, and pull the contents into a text file (and extract any embedded images).
Habs is right. Built-in PDF security will keep out the average Joe.
