Word 5.00: Using ASCII Character 14 – Documentation Error

5.00

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

Page 181 of the Word 5.00 “Reference to Microsoft Word” manual incorrectly states that ASCII code 14 is the musical symbol for two eighth notes. This character is actually reserved by Word for inserting a column break (in Word, a column break looks similar to a single dotted line) and cannot be used for the normal ASCII character.

If this character is needed for use, the printer driver must be modified to assign this character to another ASCII code. The procedure for making this modification is documented on Page 249 in the section “How to Remap Characters” of the Word 5.0 “Printer Information for Microsoft Word” manual.
