Can you clarify whether or not you can actually see the { EQ } field in the
document that you are displaying/printing on your machine (i.e. the ones
that do not work?)
The main thing I would check is whether it had something to do with my
printer driver. (I have to say that even when I use the "Generic/Text
printer driver" here, I don't see the problem you are seeing, but I would
consider changing to a different driver if you have one installed and see if
that makes any difference. It may also be worth checking/unchecking Word
Tools|OPtions|Compatibility options|Use printer metrics)

Hi, I am doing language translation. I am using equation
fields that will post dictionary look up obtained to overstrike the
original language word for example Eq \o(ORIGINAL LANGUAGE, \s\up
n(dictionary lookup)). This works well on my friends computer running Word
2000 (9.0.3821 SR1) (€śdictionary lookup€ť is positioned above and centered
over €śORIGINAL LANGUAGE€ť). but it does not work on my computer even though
I
using the same version of word 2000 (9.0.3821 SR1) (I get €śORIGINAL
LANGUAGE€ť €ścommer,€ť followed by a subscripted €śdictionary lookup€ť). All
the
words in the translation word file look like this and print like this on
my
computer even though they are created on my friends computer. Vice versa-
language translation files created on my computer display as described
above
but when transferred to my friends computer they display and print
perfectly
as described above. My machine OS is XP professional and my friends is XP
Media Center. All characters display the same on both machines but the
overstrike switch ( Eq \o) seems to be ignored on my computer . Can you
help? Can anyone help? What do I need to do to get it to function as the
documentation says it should.
