Hi folks,

This is my first post to this newsgroup, so I hope it's the right
one!  I'm a long-time user of WordPerfect 4.2 and just recently
upgraded to 5.0 and I've run into the following problem in producing
tables.  I use line draw to make the table look nicer, and more
readable.  It looks great on the screen, but unfortunately, when I 
print it out on the laser printer (HP LaserJet II D in the default
font--Courier 10), the vertical lines are often off by a space, in a
haphazard arrangement.  They look something like this:

 |	|	|	|	|	|	|	|
 |	|      |       |       |       |       |       |
 |      |	|	|	|	|	|	|

Is the problem with the font?  Is Courier a proportional spaced
font?  Any help would be most appreciated, since I put a lot of time
into these tables, and it's really frustrating to have it look great
on the screen, but look like #$%! on the printout!  Thanks in
advance!

BTW, I notice that there IS a difference in the character position
as stated in the status line, but I can't figure out why that's
occurring.  I never had this problem with version 4.2, FYI.
