= SYMPTOMS =

Extended characters used in the Notes section in Bob Address Book, may appear on the screen, but fail to appear when printed or during print preview. The problem occurs with characters at the beginning, end, or single extended characters on a line.

= RESOLUTION =

For these extended characters to be viewed or printed, another character must be placed before and after the extended character. If the extended character needs to be the first, last, or only printed character on the line, use the blank space extended character (ALT+0160 on the numeric keypad) before and after the extended character you want to print. The SPACEBAR key does not work.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Extended characters are accessed by pressing and holding down the ALT key, while you enter the character’s four digit code on the numeric keypad.

Address Book uses the Times New Roman font (or the closest matching font) when printing.

You can examine extended characters with the Character Map utility in Windows. For more information about Character Map, see your Windows printed documentation or online Help.

Some of the extended characters listed below will not appear in the Character Map display for the Times New Roman font. These characters might still appear in Address Book. To view missing characters, check the Roman font in Character Map.

The list of extended characters that may not print or preview from Address Book’s Notes field if they are the first, last or only character in a line is as follows:

NOTE: Many of the extended character descriptions will not appear in Microsoft Knowledge base text. Refer to Character Map for a visual description of these non-printing characters.

NOTE: The results may vary depending on the video driver installed.
