Word 4.00: Nonbreaking Space Does Not Print on NEC P6 or P7

PSS ID Number: Q71179 Article last modified on 11-02-1994

4.00

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

A nonbreaking or hard space (CTRL+SHIFT+SPACEBAR) in a Microsoft Word version 4.00 document will print as no space when printed to a NEC P6 or P7 printer.

For example, the following text

Hello there

will print as the following:

Hellothere

An incorrect value in the PS font width table for the NECP6.PRD file causes this to occur. In the second width table (W2), the value reads as follows:

255:0.

The value should read as follows:

255:120.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word version 4.00. This problem was corrected in Word version 5.00. The Word 5.00 printer driver has been renamed to NEC.PRD.
