Word 3.x: Downloading Fonts with Floppy Drive System

PSS ID Number: Q24403 Article last modified on 11-02-1994

3.x

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

Downloading fonts in Word Version 3.x using a floppy drive system requires that the Word program disk contain the DOS file COMMAND.COM, the printer driver, and its associated .EXE file.

The DOS error message “Bad command or filename” will appear if COMMAND.COM is left off the disk. Make sure that the copy of COMMAND.COM is the same as that on the DOS boot disk.

After selecting the Print Printer command, enter Y to the “Enter Y to download, N to skip, Esc to cancel” prompt. Word will then prompt you to place the fonts disk in Drive A to access them.
