Typing is horribly slow in Z-Write. What on earth is going on?
Some people experience what we’re calling the “Slow Typing” bug. For some typing is simply sluggish, for others so slow as to be unusable. Upgrades to the OS and Z-Write have fixed this for most users, but in some rare cases people are still having problems. Unfortunately this appears to be a system-specific problem, so we cannot fix it. You should definitely test Z-Write to ensure it works well with your system before purchasing a license. Hopefully future upgrades to Mac OS X will fix the problem permanently. There are some things we’ve found that seem to effect typing speed. Keeping Sections shorter is a good idea. Long paragraphs also seem to be problematic. Different fonts and font stylings (bold, italic) can significantly affect typing speed. Within Z-Write’s Preferences, you can turn off Glossary Auto-Expansion, External Glossaries, Live Stats, and other settings that monitor what you are typing.
