Business Software/An Oldie: Quattro Pro for DOS

Question
I'm not sure anyone would still consider using this program.However, I don't need anything better. My problem is probably my attempt to use the program on Windows Me. It will work in the text mode but not in the WYSIWYG mode (certain bars will print in a garbled font while other bars print fine). Any recommendations (other than quit trying to use it on Me or get up to date!).  

Answer
Win ME got furthest away from DOS. I'm afraid I doubt if you will be able to get it to work completely under Win ME. You might try opening a Command Prompt first and then running it from the Command Prompt.

You actually might have greater success running it under XP which allows you to set a compatibility mode for older OSes.

Hope this helps,
