{| The information in this article applies to:
 * width="100%"|
 * Microsoft Word for Windows versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.1a, 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD and 2.0b
 * Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.0

SUMMARY
If you use the Generic/Text Only driver installed from the Microsoft Windows version 3.0 disks, when you print a document with justified paragraphs, only the first three lines of text will be printed.

This problem was corrected in the version 3.1 Windows Generic/Text Only printer driver. The filename of the Generic/Text Only driver is, TTY.DRV.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

 * 1) Install the Generic/Text Only printer driver through the Windows Control Panel.
 * 2) Open Word for Windows, and type a four-line paragraph in a new document.
 * 3) From the Format menu, choose Paragraph. Select Justified in the Alignment box and choose the OK button.
 * 4) From the File menu, choose Printer Setup. Select Generic/Text Only in the Printer box, and choose the OK button.
 * 5) From the File menu, choose Print.

Only the first three lines of text are printed. If you change the paragraph alignment to left-aligned, centered, or right-aligned, every line will print as expected. This problem occurs only in Word for Windows with justified text. This problem does not occur in Microsoft Windows Write; Write prints all justified lines using the same Generic/Text Only driver.
