The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Works for the Macintosh, versions 4.0, 4.0a, 4.0b
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
When printing a Works Wizard greeting card using a non-Postscript
printer, the inverted text prints with jaggies, similar to the way a
bitmap font would look. Any Postscript printer prints the inverted
text normally, without jaggy edges.
 
Printers Causing Jaggies (non-Postscript)
-----------------------------------------
 
 Stylewriter
 Deskwriter
 Imagewriter

Postscript Printers
-------------------
 
 Apple Laserwriter

WORKAROUND
==========
 
Print the card with the inside page blank, then print the inside page as a
separate page printed right side up in the lower-left corner of a Word
Processor document. Insert the Word Processor page into the card and trim
to the appropriate size.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
Graphics, as well as text, also print with jaggies. The problem is not a
font issue, but rather a printer and print driver issue.
