Ärende: Word Perfect Problem
============================

EB> Jay this is a printer problem, I've seen it happen even with Microsoft

Thanks, Ed. It was indirectly a printer problem. Somehow my IBM
proprinter became the default printer. When I changed that to my laser
printer everything was copesetic. Still a puzzle however. The font
selected in the document was also used in/with the Proprinter in other
documents and worked OK in them - just not in the document I was working
with. I haven't the foggiest idea how  the proprinter became the
default printer. I haven't used that printer in over a year and it has
been stored away in a closet all  that time.

EB>JE> OK, I thought - WP is honked up. Uninstalled WP, rebooted, and

EB>JE> Anybody have any ideas - Alan?
