Oh, man, major bummer.  Yeh, I guess *a* document would help.  Maybe there
was one and the cat ate it, anyway I no longer have it in my posession.

I use it all the time to write letters (USMail) to friends (I use ~10pt text),
and have only had a few problems understanding it.  Doing a double click to
grab areas, and then setting the style on them helps.  If it doesn't print
in anything but draft, you may want to take a look at your preferences.

Relax, have a beer, calm down, avoid possibly slanderous language.  The
kindly people from C-A are hanging out on the net, and doubtlessly more
than happy to help a fellow amiga-user in need.
