- TITLE :Word for Windows Misreads Port Names Containing Spaces
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:m3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1
- - Microsoft Word version 2.0x
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The Microsoft Word for Windows Print Setup dialog box does not
- correctly display printer port names with spaces in them. It either
- lists printers multiple times, once for each word in the port name, or
- it lists the printer once with the port name capitalized and the
- spaces replaced with underscores.
-
- For example, if you have a DLC connection to an HP LaserJet 4si and
- the printer driver is printing to the HP network port which you named
- HP Net Printer, then Word should display:
-
- HP LaserJet 4si on HP Net Printer
-
- Instead it lists the printer multiple times
-
- HP LaserJet 4si on HP
- HP LaserJet 4si on NET
- HP LaserJet 4si on PRINTER
-
- or with underscores:
-
- HP LaserJet 4si on HP_NET_PRINTER
-
- Word does print correctly regardless of which listed printer you
- choose.
-
- The same problems occur if the port name, server name or share name
- contain spaces. The only resolution to this problem is to not use
- spaces. This behavior occurs under Windows 3.1 as well.
-
- Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with Word for Windows
- version 2.0x. We are researching this problem and will post new
- information here as it becomes available.
