PC File Viewer Limitations
PC file viewer is limited to the following products and configurations for this Solaris
release:
SPARC architecture ONLY
Printing is not supported
The following limitations are related to displaying items in a supported file:
Charts are not supported in QuattroPro.
Text that is designed to be shown vertically is shown horizontally in the viewer.
This vertical text may overlap adjacent cells making reading what is in them
difficult.
Figures and footers are aligned with the anchors in the text. If font sizes on the
viewing system are not identical to those on the authoring system, then anchored
objects will not be at the appropriate place in the text.
There is limited support for incremental shading in presentation file formats
There is no support for drawing objects in Microsoft Word and Lotus.
Borders in Word Perfect and AmiPro files are not supported
Copy & Paste does not work for Japanese text in Microsoft Office applications.
Note – All of the above limitations also exist in the Microsoft Windows version of
the product from Inso Corporation.
There is no support for OLE objects.
If a font that is used in a document is not on the system, the default system font
will be used and the viewed text may look different than what was seen in the
authoring application.
If a special character is used in a document that is not in the available character
set, it will be replaced by an asterisk in the document as shown by the file viewer.
