This was a topic mentioned in Open Apple (Vol. 1, #8). To paraphrase Weishaar: find a character pitch or width, between 4 and 24, that your printer doesn't support, and use these commands to send your own control characters to the printer. For example, if ESC 1 tells the printer to start correspondence quality and ESC 0 tells the printer to stop correspondence quality, then set the 4-character-per-inch code to ESC 1 and the 5-character-per-inch code to ESC 0. Then, to turn on correspondence quality from the word processor, turn on 4 cpi, print a return, and switch back to 10 cpi. To turn off correspondence quality, turn on 5 cpi, print a return, and switch back to 10 cpi. Also, if you don't want Appleworks to turn off boldface or underlining at the end of paragraphs, set the boldface-end or underline-end control characters to nothing. Mike Wertheim
