Notable Changes in Version 3.2

• Fixed: on Leopard text can improperly overdraw, either on top of properly placed text or in the whitespace of the page. Sometimes text would also not appear on screen when needed.
• Changed: better RTF interchange with Word of text that makes use of non-Roman encodings.
• Fixed: files with a default font set to bold/italics could incorrectly bleed bold/italics into ancillary document parts (eg: headers).
• Fixed: lists: we can read in Apple's proprietary/broken list styles from RTF (eg: as saved/pasted by TextEdit/Safari).
• Fixed: redefining a style from the selection does not properly take into account attributes already used by the style being redefined.
• Fixed: glossary: normal characters can incorrectly count as expansion triggers, eg: the entry that expands "d" to "dxxx" can be triggered by "dz ".
• Fixed: VoiceOver does not alert users that word is misspelled (Leopard feature only), or that a menu has been activated via a keyboard shortcut.

Table Changes in Version 3.2

• Fixed: tables: sorting table cells should preserve row integrity (row content should not be split up).
• Fixed: tables: Convert to Table doesn't split list bullets (or other integral smart content).
• Fixed: tables: making multi-page table selections could be thwarted by improper autoscrolling.
• Opt: tables: table views can incorrectly decide to draw all table cells.
• Fixed: tables: we read in RTF table widths that are specified in percentages.
• Fixed: tables: opening documents in Draft View (or switching to that view) with a selection in a table does not always properly scroll the selection into view.
• Fixed: tables: can incorrectly (and indefeasibly) apply the foreground color when simplifying clicking into another cell.
• Fixed: tables: changing the color does not force clear cells to use foreground/background shader if the current cell selection includes multiple shader types.
• Fixed: tables: "fit to page" works better for tables that appear in multi-column documents.
• Fixed: tables: Draft view selection in a table cell is not always scrolled into view when required (eg: document re-open).
• Fixed: tables: text in table cell can overdraw on other cells if table spans multiple pages and placeholder editor shifts pages when applying formatting change to entire table.
• Fixed: tables: line height multiples applied to table cells can't stall layout.
• Changed: tables: better recovery when handling tables with invalid spanning structures.
• Fixed: tables: adding rows/columns to a single cell tables doesn't result in misbehaving selections.

Footnote/Endnote Changes in Version 3.2

• Added: notes: the custom note reference menus are now available on the main menu, in addition to the note style tag.
• Fixed: notes: deleting a section break can delete the content of endnotes placed at the end of the section.

• Fixed: notes: copying content as text only will use proper note reference number formatter.
• Fixed: notes: selection in footnote/endnote should be restored after switching back from making changes in stylesheet view.

Find and Replace Changes in Version 3.2

• Fixed: find: content inside tables that are inside headers/footers would not be matched during a Find/Replace All.
• Opt: find: doing a Find All limited to the current selection can be much faster if there are many discontiguous selections.
• Fixed: find: matches found in headers/footers could incorrectly count more than once. This could cause crashed when using Replace All, since attempts would be made to replace the same content twice.
• Fixed: find: PowerFind Browser does not select proper cell in browser when user attempts to insert bubbles that require more input (eg: Repeat N-M).
