SYMPTOMS
========
 
Extended characters used in the Notes section in Bob Address Book, may
appear on the screen, but fail to appear when printed or during print
preview. The problem occurs with characters at the beginning, end, or
single extended characters on a line.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
For these extended characters to be viewed or printed, another character
must be placed before and after the extended character. If the extended
character needs to be the first, last, or only printed character on the
line, use the blank space extended character (ALT+0160 on the numeric
keypad) before and after the extended character you want to print. The
SPACEBAR key does not work.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
Extended characters are accessed by pressing and holding down the ALT key,
while you enter the character's four digit code on the numeric keypad.
 
Address Book uses the Times New Roman font (or the closest matching font)
when printing.
 
You can examine extended characters with the Character Map utility in
Windows. For more information about Character Map, see your Windows printed
documentation or online Help.
 
Some of the extended characters listed below will not appear in the
Character Map display for the Times New Roman font. These characters might
still appear in Address Book. To view missing characters, check the Roman
font in Character Map.
 
The list of extended characters that may not print or preview from Address
Book's Notes field if they are the first, last or only character in a line
is as follows:
 
NOTE: Many of the extended character descriptions will not appear in
Microsoft Knowledge base text. Refer to Character Map for a visual
description of these non-printing characters.
 
NOTE: The results may vary depending on the video driver installed.
