I'm using Snap driver. Would you mind checking my config.sys file which 
I'll send separately as some time ago I REM'd a line when my Open Office 
program was running extremely slow for large documents. I found this 
suggestion somewhere but have forgotten what I did. I should have 
written down my changes. Maybe that has something to do with it.

Regards,

Alan

Happy to take a look at the config.sys. SNAP should not be causing this 
issue. can you also send an example of a file that has the problem please ?

Hi,

I find that if I choose the "Fit in window" size in Lucide, that I can 
view the whole page. If I choose "Actual size" the printing in the lower 
half of the page is absent. At 75% some lower lines of a page don't show 
on the screen. Only problem is that it's hard to read the print when I 
choose "Fit in window". I don't have that problem with Acrobat 5.

Regards,

Alan
