SUMMARY
The MS LineDraw font installed with Word for Windows 2.0 is intended solely to enable preservation of line drawing within documents converted from Microsoft Word for DOS or WordPerfect versions 5.0 and 5.1. If you attempt to create a line drawing within Word for Windows 2.0 with the MS LineDraw font then print your document or convert the document to another format, you will likely obtain unpredictable results.

MORE INFORMATION
Line drawing, useful for creating such items as organizational charts, can be accomplished in Word for Windows 2.0 by creating line drawing structures in the Microsoft Draw graphic editor and embedding them into the document file.

To insert an embedded object, do the following:


 * 1) Position the insertion point where you want to place the object (line drawing).
 * 2) From the Insert menu, choose Object (ALT, I, O).
 * 3) In the Object Type box, select &quot;Microsoft Drawing&quot; and choose OK.
 * 4) Create the line drawing to embed into the Word for Windows document.
 * 5) Once created, choose Exit and Return to FILENAME.DOC from the File menu.
 * 6) Choose to update the document file when prompted (choose Yes).

Optionally, line drawing characters can be entered into a document by using the Insert Symbol command and choosing from among the line drawing symbols available in the Symbol set dialog box that appears.
