"…in wordperfect i can't get the printer to do italics…" Tim: It sounds like the printer is using its internal fonts (like using NLQ mode in excellence!) and that there is no italic font in the printer. Is there a way that from within WordNotsoPerfect you can switch the output to graphics mode, or LQ mode? BTW, that will print MUCH slower than what you are used to, and may require additional printer memory… BTW, what priner are you using? Have tried using the control panel settings to choose a different font – Whapp!ng from the North Coast Michael

after further exploration i have determined that wp always overrides any internal settings on the control panel… i have resorted to putting escape sequences into the text file… it works ok, but is somewhat tedious… am going to try buidling small macros to insert the escape sequences… best regards… tim b.
