## SYMPTOMS

When a FoxPro for MS-DOS report containing box objects is printed under FoxPro for Macintosh without being transported, the borders of the box objects are displayed as characters instead of lines.
NOTE: This behavior does not occur when untransported FoxPro for MS-DOS reports are printed under FoxPro for Windows.

## RESOLUTION

To print the box objects correctly, use one of the following methods:

- Before printing the report, set the printer font to FoxFont as follows:

            SET PRINT FONT "FOXFONT",12

  -or-
- Transport the FoxPro for MS-DOS reports before printing them under FoxPro for Macintosh.

## STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
