MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

Using Microsoft Word versions 5.00 and 5.50 on a PostScript printer, paragraph shading is shifted upward approximately 1.5 lines when the following conditions occur:


 * 1) Printing in landscape
 * 2) Selecting UK Paper Size (11.69 inches wide, 8.27 inches long)

= MORE INFORMATION =

This problem can be corrected by modifying the POSTSCRP.PRD printer driver using the MAKEPRD utility, as follows:

In the POSTSCRP.PRD text file, you will see four items that say LinedrawAdjust: 60.


 * 1) Change the 60 to 390 and be sure to keep a space after the number. This large number will push the shading down approximately 1.5 lines to match up with the border.
 * 2) Use MAKEPRD to convert the text file back to a PRD file.

Unfortunately, if you change your paper size back to United States size, the shading will now be pushed down by 1.5 lines. Two PRD files should be kept, a POSTUS.PRD and a POSTUK.PRD, one for each of the different paper sizes.
