= SUMMARY =

You may have problems getting vertical lines to connect, forming an unbroken line, if you are trying to draw a vertical line using a vertical-line character (for example, character 179 in the IBM Extended Character Set) and you are using a font smaller than 12 point.

By default, Word uses 12-point line spacing (6 lines to the inch). If your font is smaller than 12 point, you must alter the Format Paragraph “line spacing:” field to take this into account so that the lines will be closer and the vertical lines will connect.

Under Format Paragraph “line spacing:”, type in either the point size of the particular font being used (that is, “10 pt”), or “Auto.” For this process to work properly, the printer must be capable of performing line spacing in the desired increment.
