## WD: Bold Underlines Print Thicker on Color Quickdraw Printers

Q122756

The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 5.1, 6.0, 6.0.1

## SYMPTOMS

Underlining that is also formatted as bold prints thicker than underlining that is not formatted as bold.

## CAUSE

This behavior occurs when you print to a Color Quickdraw printer. By contrast, when you print to a PostScript printer, the underline thickness will appear the same whether the bold formatting has been applied or not.

## WORKAROUND

Remove the bold or underline formatting.

## STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 5.1 and 6.0 for the Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

## MORE INFORMATION

Examples of Color Quickdraw printers are the Apple Color Stylewriter Pro and the Hewlett-Packard Color Deskwriters.
