= SUMMARY =

Some Tandy DWP 210, 220, and DW II printers are configured with a default for line spacing. This default tells the printer to do an automatic linefeed (LF) when receiving a carriage return (CR).

The printer driver, DWP220.PRD or DWII.PRD, must be modified so that an LF causes only a linefeed, and a CR executes only a carriage return; this is because Word sends both a CR and an LF at the end of each line.

= MORE INFORMATION =

To modify the printer driver, use the MAKEPRD utility to produce a text file version of the printer driver (see the chapter on MAKEPRD in the “Printer Information for Microsoft Word” manual). After converting the driver to a text file, load the text file into Word. Make the following changes to the PCSD section of the driver:

  Change byte:0 from byte:0 mod:0 “[O” to the following: byte:0 mod:0 “[U”   Change byte:24 from byte:24 mod:7 “[UM[^V” to the following: byte:24 mod:7 “[U^M” (This change is already made in Word 5.00.)
