- Hello all....
-
- This might not quite fit with this sig but I have been screaming
- at the top of my electronic lungs in the word processing sigs and getting
- nowhere. Please bear with me.
-
- I am trying to put together a teaching manual for an agency for
- which I am working under contract. The word processor package I am using
- is Word (version 7) for Windows. Much of the manual involves importing
- program listings in C, C++ and Microsoft Visual C. Word is destroying all
- the listings I am trying to import. The proportional fonts are destroying
- all the tabs and spaces. Also there is very little distinction between ls
- and 1, Os and 0s and so on. What is also aggravating with Word is that
- insists on changing all my single and double typewriter style quotes into
- front and backwards pointing quotes and screams bloody murder when they are
- mismatched. Back when dot-matrix printers were popular I used to be able
- use non-proportional fonts (a.k.a. fixed fonts). I was using Sans Serif
- for the body of my texts and OCR-A for the program listings. I am hoping
- that someone here has gone through this and can offer some help such as
- where can I find a suitable font package that is compatible with Word and
- provides the kind of fonts I need.
-
- Thanking you all for your time and trouble
-
- Sincerely,
-
