As you have described above, I do not seem to get that behavior. The behavior you mentioned would not be a problem, hints that only show up when the mouse is over, or when the field is clicked is not a problem.
If hints fully work the way you are saying, then the PT must have a bug, as all the hints are displayed explicitly, and are printed. Which was the problem I was describing. Hints being displayed when clicked is not a problem at all. Hints being visible all the time, is fine, as that is the functionality present in Word Pro currently. Hints being printed either to PDF or to Paper we feel is a problem.
If you could look into that it would be good, since on pages where there are many hints, it would be problematic to have to delete them all just so the document could be printed.
On a side note, is the margin and text box formatting a known problem, as the text orientation was one problem. The other problem was the location/formatting of the text boxes. You may have to print it to see it more accurately. In fax2.mwp for example, the lower right hand corner box, is in the right place, but the contents is aligned to the top of the box, not the bottom.
I have have not been able to find the setting to manually change the alignment from top to center or bottom. If one does not exist, which I find unlikely, since it is based off OO 1.x and it is a fairly common and heavily used option. It may be a good idea to put it in, since most reports from most companies, including many from IBM, use a centered cover page, that has all the text aligned vertically centered, sometimes as well as horizontally centered. If that is confusing please advise, and I can attach a PDF.
