- My sister-in-law is having trouble using MSDOS Word (NOT word for windows)
- to print characters available on the HPIIIP in the non-default symbol set.
- For example, a Greek delta. It is available in a Math symbol set and I
- produced it for her by explicitly typing the control codes in her
- document; but this is a crock as it will throw off margin calculations. I
- did it to prove to her that the "experts" at her office didn't know what
- they were talking about when they said the printer couldn't do it.
- However I don't know anything about Word--so, could a Word maven out there
- tell me how to access the alternative symbol sets that are available on HP
- IIIP printers? Thanks.
