When I say cut and pastes are "inaccurate" from GSP to Word you must realize the
reference was to a point shifting maybe 1/16" relative to where it was in the
original sketch. That would not be enough to throw off most folks, including
students looking for an angle bisector, but it troubles me because I need my
carryovers to be 100% accurate as one of the things this book does is lead
students to obtaining a horde of exact angle degree meaures heretofore
unattainable with only the compass and straightedge.
Also, it is bothersome to have to make all the fonts larger than WYSIWYG (at
least in my case) because I have some 400 files to paste over into the destop
application. It might take 3 months for me to go through and make everything
larger so it will be of readable size. This project has gone on for over 5
years now and, while I am not burned out (yet), it really needs to be done (if
at all possible) before this schoool year so I can concentrate on other
things.
So glad to see you're giving your students "the best" with GSP!
Thanks again for your valued input,
Craig

I am sorry that this did not help
