I seem to be having problems printing from MS-Word 4.00C under system 7.0 to my DeskWriter printer. I am using a Mac LC (VM is off, 24-bit mode) and version 2.1 of the DeskWriter driver with a serial-mode only DW. I am also using the "MS-Word TrueType(tm) Printer Init". The problem occurs both with TrueType fonts and Adobe Type I fonts with ATM 2.0: the inter-word spacing is terrible whenever there is a change in type style (i.e., plain to italic, plain to bold, etc.) Inter-word spacing is fine when there is no style change, and inter-character spacing is always okay (well, at least its always consistent :) Has anyone else seen these problems? I have heard there is work being done to the DW driver, but I was under the impression its problems were only with 32-bit mode and/or VM turned on. I also know there is a version 4.00D of MS-Word available, but I don't know what fixes are in it (compared to the 4.00C I have.) Thanks in advance, -- Bob Shields vbob@umd5.umd.edu
