This sound like a wonderful macro.  Could you mail me a copy?  I agree that
WP has more great features than anyone can really appreciate without really
USING the program, however I still believe that the user interface on MS
WORD is much better.  I hear that FancyWord (from the FancyFont people) makes
Word able to use all the FancyFont fonts just like native printer fonts!

FancyFont left me cold on a Toshiba 1351, but if they really map the fonts for
a laser printer's resolution, it might be really nice.  WP can't do THAT.

Also, there are many grotesque errors in the spacing tables for the LQ1500 and
the Toshiba 1351 in WP.

I have a NEC P5 (thinks it is a faster, better quality LQ1500), and Microsoft
Word wants to use those cheesy lo-res graphics lines for underlines.  Anyone
know how to fix the PRD file?  The NEC has real underline codes.
