Word: Improving Video Support on Toshiba Laptops

5.00

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

When Setup is run to install Word version 5.00 on a Toshiba laptop that supports the 400-line graphic mode (double scan CGA), Word doesn’t detect this and suggests CGA as the appropriate graphic option. If the default is accepted, Word works correctly but gives 640 x 200 resolution when in graphics mode.

However, in many cases if the “AT&T 6300” option is chosen, Word will provide a 640 x 400 display when in graphics mode. This enhanced resolution makes it easier to see italic, bold, and underline formatting. More choices will be displayed in the Setup screen, which lists the video options available, if you press the PGDN key.

This method should improve Word’s resolution; however, Microsoft has not tested this configuration, and therefore, cannot guarantee its operation.
