To print exactly six lines per inch when printing a page of text or printing mailing labels in Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, do the following:

Word versions 5.0 and 5.1

 * 1) Select the entire document by pressing COMMAND+A.
 * 2) From the Format menu, choose Paragraph.
 * 3) From the Line drop down menu, choose Exactly.
 * 4) Type “12” in the box to the right of “Exactly” (without quotation marks).
 * 5) Click OK.

Word versions 4.0 and 3.0x

 * 1) Select the entire document by pressing COMMAND+OPTION+M.
 * 2) From the Format menu, choose Paragraph.
 * 3) In the Line Spacing box, type “-12” (without quotation marks; the minus sign is significant).

This procedure will force uniform line spacing on letter-quality daisy wheel printers as well as on the ImageWriter and LaserWriter.
