I tried it with Chrome and couldn't get the text box to let me edit. It worked fine in Firefox, except that I didn't find a way to save the work, aside from asking for another page and then saying yes when it asked if I wanted to save. Also, it insisted on indenting the line at the top of the page, even when it wasn't the beginning of the paragraph. I, too, find a horizontal interface works better for me.

Interesting, and it's good to see someone using a rich text editor for the text, rather than expecting proofers to mess around with <i>, etc.
I'm not sure how the page was supposed to look, however --
- I'm using a widescreen 1680x1050 monitor, and there was still material off the bottom of the page. This is using Google Chrome.
- I couldn't see any way to resize the image, so as to see the page width rather than the zoomed in image, which gives me about 4 words before I have to scroll to the right
- I couldn't see any way to change the font in the text window, preferably to dpcustommono, which is ugly, but is the best font I've yet used for proofing.
- It would be nice to have some instructions. What exactly are you expecting me to do to the page? Do you want headers/footers/page numbers to be kept? Do you want end of line hyphens kept? Do you want paragraphs joined?
- It would be nice to have (the option of) a horizontal rather than vertical layout. I used to really like the vertical layout, but found I was more accurate at proofing with a horizontal one.
- I really prefer block paragraphs rather than indented ones for computer-based text.
A very good implementation so far -- I'll await developments.

Apparently the engineers at Microsoft have not yet figured out how to implement CSS percentages, and I haven't had the time (or inclination) to build an Internet Explorer-aware implementation yet, so visitors would be advised to use a different browser. _______________________________________________ gutvol-d mailing list gutvol-d@lists.pglaf.org <mailto:gutvol-d@lists.pglaf.org> http://lists.pglaf.org/mailman/listinfo/gutvol-d
