Andy Hertzfeld's program that accompanies his Thunderware digitizer allows
you to load a MacPaint picture and select any part up to all of it. If
you try to select beyond the borders of the screen, the picture scrolls
until it reaches the edges of the picture. This program also has some
neat graphics touches like toning and gray-scaling, contrast, etc., but
some of these only work with scanned pictures.

It has one other fun feature--when the hand is being used, if you drag it
slong the screen and then release the mouse, the picture continues to scroll
at the same rate that you dragged it! It is a sort of moving picture!

I have the same problem as you concerning wide letter heads and
Macpaint/Macwrite. I could not figure out a good way to handle
it either. What I finally did was to print the letter head from
Macpaint, rewind the page offsetting the top of form, and then
printing the letter from Macwrite. This is a lousy way to have
to do things. I would also like to hear of a better solution.

I have two other questions:

1) Does anybody know how do write in the left one-inch border that
Macwrite forces on us?

2) Can somebody tell me how to put Macwrite text to the left or right
of a Macpaint picture? It seems that if I move a narrow picture
from Macpaint to Macwrite, an entire band is made unavailable
for text.
