5.00

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

The CHARTEST.DOC file on the Utilities 2 disk incorrectly gives ASCII character 195 the symbol for character 239 and incorrectly gives character 197 the symbol for character 241.

To correct this problem, do the following:


 * 1) Load the CHARTEST.DOC file into Word 5.00.
 * 2) Search for 195.
 * 3) Press END to go to the end of the line.
 * 4) Press BACKSPACE to delete the character.

5 Hold down the ALT key and type 195 on the numeric keypad.

  Repeat Steps 2-5, substituting 197 for 195.   Save the document. 

The CHARTEST.DOC file is used by the supplied Character_Test.Mac macro found in the MACRO.GLY file. This macro loads the CHARTEST.DOC file and asks if you want a printout of the extended characters for all fonts in the current printer driver.
