Superscript and Subscript PostScript Printing Problems

PSS ID Number: Q68961 Article last modified on 11-02-1994

5.00 5.50

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

When printing from Microsoft Word versions 5.0 or 5.5 to a PostScript compatible printer using POSTSCRP.PRD and POSTSCRP.INI, text that is superscripted or subscripted may not print correctly. The printed text may be misaligned, and characters may randomly overprint each other.

If both Word versions 5.0 and 5.5 are being used simultaneously with the same PostScript printer, it is important to clear the printer buffer between print jobs. The INI (initialization) files are not compatible between the two versions of Word.

= MORE INFORMATION =

The file sizes for the two versions of POSTSCRP.PRD and POSTSCRP.INI are as follows:

File 5.00 5.50 —- —- —-

POSTSCRP.PRD 22,839 30,911 POSTSCRP.INI 12,471 14,787

This problem has been confirmed on Apple LaserWriter and NEC LC 890 printers.
