print at 10 cpi and 6 lpi
UK printed end of year forms are designed to be printed at 10 characters per
inch and 6 lines per inch. I cannot find a font that covers this under Windows even though I can happily specify this (and other) size under DOS. How can I set my printout to line up exactly? |

Unfortunately those typewriter-based specs are founded on 'archaic'
mono-spaced (or 'fixed width') technology, which you can obviously not change. Most of the fonts used on the PC today are proportionally spaced, but there are some which might fill the bill, Courier (not Courier New) 12 pt, single spaced, for one. I'm sure other suggestions will come in as well.

Use Courier New 12 pt with line spacing set to Exactly 12 pts.

Wonderful! Thank you!
I can sort the problem in Word now, all I need to do is get my programmer to be able to use the 'exactly' option under Visual Basic and I will be able to sleep nights. "Suzanne S.

Tell the programmer to use these two lines:
ActiveDocument.Paragraphs.LineSpacingRule = wdLineSpaceExactly ActiveDocument.Paragraphs.LineSpacing = 12 If the programmer is really using Visual Basic (the stand-alone language outside of Word) instead of Visual Basic for Applications (the macro language built into Word), then you need to know that the numeric value of the constant wdLineSpaceExactly is 4. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org On Mon, 24 Oct 2005 03:50:04 -0700, ASL SOFTWARE wrote: Wonderful!
