This is not a question about WP , but about Sheepshaver. I have set the root volume to be my OSX hard drive so that I can see everything. I use a couple of...

I'm beginning a project to update the 25 or 30 third-party macro and Applescript utilities we have, for optimum performance under SheepShaver, i.e. with Intel...
At long last, a non-Sheepshaver query! (There *are* a few of us out there still running 10.4, and prior versions. I'm revising a book manuscript that has a lot...

Thanks for the suggestion, Geoff. It worked . . . at least for awhile, but after editing for about an hour or so, it started doing it again. Well, at least I...
Apologies if this message shows up twice. I tried posting it thru Yahoo groups but it went to a moderator. I'm having some trouble with John's Note Editor...
Okay, now this is weird; i found an older copy of the macro, and it works--it even results in Arabic numerals, not Roman. I guess I'll use the old version. ...
I opened a WordPerfect document on my MacBook with SheepShaver. I wanted to copy text from the WP document and paste it into an e-mail. I could not figure out...
