making justified text look the same
I am typing a document which must be justified. The text looks fine until I
print out and then some lines appear italicized or smaller fonts than the rest. I am using an older Epson dot matrix printer. How can I get all fonts the same and the document justified? |

making justified text look the same
I would guess that this is a printer rendering issue.

Yes, it is -- I've seen this happen before. It's more likely to be a
mechanical problem with aged parts rather than anything software-related. The "italic" lines happen when the dots from multiple passes of the print head don't align properly; the dots in the bottom half of each letter are slightly to the left of where they should be relative to the top half. Sometimes you can use the printer driver's print-head alignment utility to fix this. The small lines happen when the rubber paper-mover rollers slip and don't push the paper far enough between passes of the print head. You may be able to fix this by scrubbing the rollers with a pencil eraser (if you can reach them), or you may need to replace the rollers because they've become too hard and can't grip properly. The final answer, of course, is to replace the printer. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
