= SUMMARY =

In later editions of the “Printer Information for Microsoft Word” manual, the section titled “Required Organization of Font Files and Word Files” on Page 189 contains a third paragraph that is not correct. The paragraph reads as follows:

Word will search your DOS path if it cannot find the fonts. If you need to keep the PRD file separate from the fonts, be sure your font directory is on your path.

The Word program in fact does NOT search the DOS path for font files. If the font files are not in the same subdirectory as the PRD and DAT files, an error will result (for example, “Cannot find: C:120RPN.USP”).

The PRD file, DAT file, INI file (if needed), and downloadable font files must be kept in the same directory.
