= SUMMARY =

Microsoft Word versions 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 supports the IBM Color Inkjet printer. It does not support the IBM Color ribbon printer.

The Inkjet printer does not do bold, italic, or proportionally-spaced fonts; however, it does have double-strike, underline, and strikethrough capabilities.

In Word version 5.00, the printer drivers IBMCOLOR.PRD and IBMCLRNLQ.PRD are available on the Supplemental Printer Disks. What Word calls blue (in the “font color:” field of the Format Character command), the printer calls cyan. What Word calls violet, the printer calls blue. Graphics are not supported with IBMCLRNLQ.PRD. When using IBMCOLOR.PRD, text does not flow around graphics.
