The problems affects printing on the Personal LaserWriter LS (and supposedly other QuickDraw printers as well) catastrophically; it may well be that the problems you are having are related. Microsoft has released an INIT that is designed to install itself *after* TrueType is installed, that will correct the problem that Word has with TrueType until a fixed version of Word is released. I have it, I've tested it and found that it does indeed fix the problem with printing to an LS, but DO NOT ASK ME FOR A COPY. I don't have time to act as a mail server. I'm going to see if Microsoft gives permission to distribute it freely; if so, I'll upload a copy to the University of Michigan Macintosh archive for anonymous ftp (that's mac.archive.umich.edu). ------- Christopher Tate | cxt105@psuvm.psu.edu | You can lead a horse to water, ..!psuvax1!psuvm.bitnet!cxt105 | but a vest has no sleeves. cxt105@psuvm.bitnet |
