Printing special characters
Hello
In my Word 2003 document I have a number of special characters suchas the small 2 and small 3 used in maths equations (square root, cubic root, etc). Unfortunately, these print off as small cubes and I was hoping to rectify that, please. Best regards Steve |

Printing special characters
Have you verified that the characters you're using exist in the font
you're printing with? Do you use a font that was installed with your printer, that might be old enough that it doesn't include them? Alternatively, if you created your exponents with Superscript, have you verified that your printer is capable of printing any superscript characters?

Printing special characters
Hello Peter
Many thanks for your reply. The font I am using is Verdana in Word 2003 and the special characters are those you see in the Insert | Symbol in Word. My printer didn't come with anything: it is a bog-standard HP Photosmart 7660 ink printer. Do you mean that Word finds these characters acceptable, but the printer does not? How would I overcome that? Thanks. Steve "Peter T. Daniels" wrote: Have you verified that the characters you're using exist in the font you're printing with?

Printing special characters
You mean, plain ol' superscript 2 and 3, at Unicode 00B2 and 00B3? Do
other characters in the same range, such as plus/minus (00B1), come out ok? (They're all there in Verdana.) Maybe you could look for an updated printer driver at the HP website.

Printing special characters
Hello Peter
Many thanks for that. I'll try printing out one or two other special characters and if that fails I'll search for a recent driver. I would have thought that a not-too-old HP printer would have been able to print off what are, basically, run-of-the-mill characters - or do some printers not recognise certain characters? Many thanks. Steve "Peter T. Daniels" wrote: You mean, plain ol' superscript 2 and 3, at Unicode 00B2 and 00B3? Do other characters in the same range, such as plus/minus (00B1), come out ok?
