Both of these issues are limitations of the current DynaText browser, not
problems that we can solve.  The power of DynaText is in online viewing.
The hyper-linking and serach capabilities make it much easier to find and
navigate the information than hardcopy can provide.  DynaText print was
not really intended to produce publishing quality output that would
replace books.

EBT is enhancing DynaText to provide better print support, however, I'm
not yet sure precisely what will be provided. We should know within the
next couple months.
