MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

When using Microsoft Word versions 3.0, 4.0, or 5.0 with a PostScript printer driver, text formatted with underline, double underline, or strikethrough character formatting may not print with all of its formatting information when followed by a custom tab that has an underscore character set as the leader character.

This loss of formatting may also occur if the custom tab that follows the formatted text is formatted for one or more of the line-oriented character formats. Bold, italic, and formats other than underline, double underline, or strikethrough are not affected by the custom tab formatted with line-oriented character formats.

All character formatting will print correctly if the line formatting is removed from the tab or if the custom tab is set with a leader character other than an underscore.

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
