= SUMMARY =

Word expects the printer to be in its default mode (draft quality) when it starts up. There may be a conflict if you direct your printer with BASIC or another program before entering Word.

You can modify the printer driver to support various printer modes and functions using the MAKEPRD utility supplied with Word. You can also embed printer control codes in a document you are printing with Word. For example, if the BASIC string is CHR$(2), simultaneously press ALT+2 for the same code.
