= SUMMARY =

The Print Direct command is used to send all keystrokes directly to the printer. Print Direct sends the information line-by-line when the ENTER key is pressed (that is, information is not sent key-by-key, similar to a typewriter).

Characters are not echoed on the screen, word wrap is turned off, and no editing or formatting is possible. You cannot go back and correct your errors. Press the ESC key to cancel the Print Direct command.

This command has been moved in Word 5.50 to File Print, then select the Direct Text option within the Print: field.
