MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

If Word is in text mode, pressing the PRINT SCREEN key should cause the text on the screen to be printed by any printer.

If Word is in graphics mode, pressing the PRINT SCREEN key works only if the DOS file GRAPHICS.COM is loaded into memory before entering the program.

Some printers have problems printing the graphics symbols used to compose the Word screen borders and menus. As a result, no printout or a distorted printout may be generated.
