= SUMMARY =

The File Print (ALT F, P) Options (ALT+O) Draft (ALT+D) controls only microspace justification, which is the equal allotment of white space between words on any line of justified text that is formatted for a proportional-spaced font. In Word 5.00 Print Options “draft:” is used.

In Word version 5.50 when the Draft field contains an X, microspace justification is enabled. In Word 5.00 “draft: yes” is set. When the field is blank, microspace justification is disabled. In Word 5.00 “draft: no” is set. The printer must be capable of doing microspace justification for either setting to be meaningful.

Please note that near letter quality (NLQ) or draft quality (DQ) printing has nothing to do with the “draft:” field.
