System Font Change in Word for Windows 1.10

PSS ID Number: Q68613 Article last modified on 02-17-1993

1.10 WINDOWS

Summary: Macros created in Microsoft Word for Windows version 1.00 that contain user-defined dialog boxes must be modified in Word for Windows 1.10. This modification is necessary because Word 1.10 uses the same system font as Windows 3.00, which is three points wider than the system font in Windows 2.x. Word 1.00 can only take advantage of the system font matrix that is part of the program. Word 1.10 can take advantage of the different system font matrices provided by Windows 3.00. Unfortunately, this causes user-defined dialog boxes to be positioned incorrectly.
