My sister-in-law is having trouble using MSDOS Word (NOT word for windows)
to print characters available on the HPIIIP in the non-default symbol set.
For example, a Greek delta.  It is available in a Math symbol set and I
produced it for her by explicitly typing the control codes in her
document; but this is a crock as it will throw off margin calculations. I
did it to prove to her that the "experts" at her office didn't know what
they were talking about when they said the printer couldn't do it. 
However I don't know anything about Word--so, could a Word maven out there
tell me how to access the alternative symbol sets that are available on HP
IIIP printers?  Thanks.
