Word 3.x: Print Screen (SHIFT+PRINT SCREEN) Does Not Work

3.x

MS-DOS

Question:

In Microsoft Word version 3.0 When I press SHIFT+PRINT SCREEN, my printer does not print the text on my screen.

Response:

A SHIFT+PRINT SCREEN must first be able to work from the DOS prompt. If it does work from DOS, but not within Word, go into Word in text mode. Some graphics cards require text mode for SHIFT+PRINT SCREEN to work. Type WORD /C to get text mode. In some cases you need to load the DOS graphics driver first.
