Q107881
--- The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Publisher for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a ---

SUMMARY

=
When typing into a text frame with double-spaced text, you may see the descenders from the line above disappear and return (blinking on and off) as you type. This happens throughout the entire double-spaced text frame.

MORE INFORMATION

=
===

In Publisher 2.0, the double- and triple-spaced text leave no spacing below the line for the descender. As a result, the line below is only given the point-size height instead of adding the extra 20 percent needed to view correctly.

This happens if you set up your system to print to a wide variety of printers such as the Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet III, HP DeskJet, PostScript, and Dot-matrix printers.

Note: Your printout will not be affected by this problem. This problem only affects the screen display.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Publisher version 2.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
