Lines in Word 4.00 File Don’t Print Correctly in Word 5.00

5.00

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

Lines drawn with the cursor linedraw feature (CTRL+F5) in Word Version 4.00 documents may not print properly in Word Version 5.00 on a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet Series II. Rather than print as lines, they print as foreign characters. This problem occurs because the font containing the linedraw characters in Word 5.00 is CourierPC. In Word 4.00, the font is Courier. Consequently, the lines are formatted to the Courier font in Word 5.00, which does not contain the linedraw characters.

The workaround for this problem is to select the lines in Word 5.00 and format them for the CourierPC font. The Format Replace command can also be used to replace all text formatted for Courier with CourierPC.
