= SUMMARY =

Text condenses after it has been selected and then underlined while the Hewlett-Packard (HP) DeskWriter is selected in the Chooser when running under MultiFinder. This behavior has also been observed with the Apple LaserWriter, Apple ImageWriter, and General Computer Corporation (GCC) printers.

In Microsoft Word version 4.0, selected text may become condensed after it has been underlined. This problem seems to occur only while operating in MultiFinder with the HP DeskWriter selected in the Chooser.

This behavior appears to be caused by the virus WDEF. Rebuilding the Desktop file by holding down the COMMAND+OPTION keys while restarting the Macintosh should eliminate the problem.

= MORE INFORMATION =
