= SUMMARY =

Having condensed or expanded text in a Word version 4.00 document when using a Grappler serial-to-parallel interface may slow down the printing speed drastically. The Grappler (needed with Hewlett-Packard printers) uses a custom CDEV (Control Panel Device) to intercept output from the ImageWriter LQ driver and translate it to parallel printer information.

To convert the condensed or expanded text back to normal spacing, follow these steps:


 * 1) Select the entire document (press COMMAND+OPTION+M).
 * 2) Choose Character from the Format menu.
 * 3) Select “Normal” in the Spacing box. Click OK.
 * 4) Choose Print from the File menu and print normally.
