The PostScript files shipped with Word version 5.50 have the following decompressed sizes:

File Decompressed Size —- —————–

= MORE INFORMATION =

Steps to Reproduce Problem

 * 1) In Word version 5.00, type a one line paragraph.
 * 2) Format the paragraph for a box border and 30 percent paragraph shading.
 * 3) With the document configured for landscape (11 inch x 8.5 inch), choose Format pOsition to center the paragraph vertically and horizontally relative to the margins.

When the document is printed, the shaded portion of the box will print above and to the right of the paragraph.
