(20000724:0826) I have an anoying problem with WordPerfect 8, which I did not use to have. Since I reinstalled the suite on a new computer a few months ago, this behaviour has showed up. I use a table-production software which produced good old ASCII files. The data are formatted within boxes defined by graphic characters (hex DA, C4 and the like). When I read in this file into WordPerfect and apply a fixed-font format like Courier New, on-screen display, including in page mode is fine: everything lines up. However, when I print to any of the printers I use (an HP 5P, an Epson Stylus Pro or Acrobat Writer), the lines mess up as if I was printing using a proportional font! Again, this did not use to behave like that. I must have found a fix years ago but I can't remember. Can anyone help? Please send the reply by e-mail as well as this newsgroup since I don't always have access to usenet. Thanks in advance.

Try changing to left-justification only, and if the tables in question are being imported into WP, ensure that the default font is not overriding the tables font.
