Summary:

If a serial printer driver is selected in the Chooser, Microsoft Word versions 1.x and 3.x will use the Dover font to display the text regardless of what font is applied to it. The applied font will be displayed with a check mark next to it in the Font menu and it will be selected in the Character dialog box; however, the display will be in the Dover font.

To reset the screen display to show the selected font, choose Chooser from the Apple menu and select a different printer driver, such as the ImageWriter or LaserWriter.
