Summary:

When you use the PostScript printer driver PSCRIPT.DRV with the default screen fonts that come with Windows, Microsoft Word for Windows produces incorrect line endings with the AvanteGarde, Bookman, Helvetica-Narrow, Modern, NewCenturySchlbk, Palatino, Roman, Script, Symbol, TmsRmn, ZapfChancery, and ZapfDingbats fonts. Word does generate correct line endings with the Courier and Helv fonts when you use the default screen fonts that come with Windows.

This problem does not occur if you are using TrueType fonts in the Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1; however, using standard PostScript printer fonts without the correct screen fonts in Windows 3.1 generates the same problem.

This problem was corrected in Word version 6.0 for Windows.
