677.0. "Double trouble" by CSC32::COMULADA () Tue Nov 21 1989 13:42

    Does anyone out there know how to get "Word Writer" to stop from double
    spacing when printing a file. There is a pull down select for double
    spacing but I did not select it. Cannot find info in the DOC that
    references the double space print. I also set the printer for "CR" only
    but it made no difference.
    
    Thanks,

677.1	Check the Printer.CFG file	NETMAN::HOLZWASSER		`Tue Nov 21 1989 16:54`	11
	Have you checked to make sure that you have selected the proper Printer.CFG file? Also, have you double checked the printer's switch settings? (I'm assuming this is the first time that you've used the printer and are finding problems.) If you've done all this and there are still problems, suggest you drop back and use a dumb printer interface for transmitting pure ascii text and simple printer commands. This step may require some editing of another printer's .CFG file to get it to be as simple as possible. Then when you're done editing, select it as your Printer.CFG file and run the test again. Hope that helps.

	I assume that the double space item does NOT have a check mark next to it? That's how you tell if it's selected. Try turning the page numbers on - does it print one page across two pages, or does it print pages numbered in the right place with double spaced text?
677.3	what you see is NOTwhat you get	WFOV12::LAFLEUR		`Wed Nov 22 1989 09:20`	13
	When you set up your page layout make sure that the number of spaces that you leave for your left hand margin AND the total number of spaces between your tabs don't exceed 80 (I assume you are using 80 character mode). If the total is greater than 80 the program will wrap the extra spaces onto the next line. Because you can't see them you think they aren't there, the computer on the other hand sees them quite well and acts accordingly, giving you a blank line between printed lines. Check it out by switching to a larger number of characters per line (96) without adjusting anything. If everything now prints without spaces between lines you've found your problem. Bill
