Word 3.x: Adding a Character Translation Table

MS-DOS

Question:

I have added a character translation table, {T0, to my Word printer driver (.PRD file). The original IBM extended characters still are being accessed. What could be wrong?

Response:

For printer drivers that already have access to the extended character set (e.g. IBMPRO.PRD), you cannot designate a character translation table by T0. The extended character with the IBMPRO is accessed at byte:0 by the code “^[6”. To add a translation table, the designation of the table should be {T1 or {T2. If you leave it at {T0, the new character translation table is not accessed.
