Hello again,

Another version of Silas has survived the alpha and beta testers, and
is ready for download at
http://silas.googlecode.com/files/Silas-v2.05-1.040-Setup.exe
If you want to check that it has downloaded correctly, its SHA1 value
is
cfc0a0c53239e20192755d9c71aa3eb07eb2f116
(If you don't know how to use that, work through issue 4 at
http://code.google.com/p/silas/issues/list )

There is one known bug, which affects Word 2007 only. For a fix, see
issue 14 at
http://code.google.com/p/silas/issues/list

A new version of USFM is coming out, to be ready for Paratext 6.1, so
the version of Silas that I am announcing to-day will probably be the
last version to match USFM version 2.05. When we prepare new version
of Silas, it will install the new version of USFM.sty for you, and the
stylenames will match. (You'll still be able to use the next version
of Silas with old files you saved using an earlier version of USFM.)
If you would like to discuss these things, join the mailing group
"silas-talk" at

and post a message.

Fixed bug in line spacing dialog if user cancels.

Fixed bug in making filename for custom checking table.

Even margins now one inch each side, now for Letter-sized paper as
well as A4.

button refers to Heading font, as does the message in changeFont
routine.

Moved module AttachUSFMTemplate from Silas.dot to Install Silas.doc in
the hope of fixing the problem with people being unable to copy it to
Normal.dot sometimes.

Added \q4 style, and adjusted indentations for \q# styles to reduce
ambiguity.

Size of \r changed to 90% of normal, and \mr to 110% of normal.

Fixed reference to menu item "Set language and paper size".

Fixed bug, spacing before \rq style now set to zero.

Silas 2.05-1.038 by Jim, 26 Mar 2007
====================================
Fixed problem with Japanese Word doing box for no-break space after
verse numbers.

Added options to make hyphens be non-breaking in Proof printouts and/
or thin no-break spaces in Booklets, so translators can have verb
phrases group more closely together.

Glossary entry numbered meanings can now have up to 2 digit numbers.

Added table of contents and info about hyphens to FAQ file.

Rearranged macros in Install Silas.doc to help people with Word 2000
installation failure recover better.
