The way I understand it, styles apply only to formatting.  SGML applies to
document structure.  You can have a structural element called a "heading"
and Word can create a style for it, but these are two conceptually
different things.  In my opinion, Word will require a lot more than just
styles for characters in order to do SGML.  It will require another layer
of abstraction: styles to control formatting, and SGML to describe
structure.  Sometimes these will overlap, but sometimes not.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.  :-)

did you install the mono monitor as a VGA color monitor? It works and

I've been exploring this question from the other end -- hooking both a MAC
and a PC to a Deskjet 500. I'm told that this will work: the PC connects
to the parallel port,and the MAC to the serial (Both are active all the time).
One needs to get a special driver to print from the MAC on a DJ500. - I'm
still a little fuzzy about ths all.

A couple of folks from HP itself have sent me notes saying flatly that
you can't hook a PC to a deskwriter. 'Course that doesn't mean some
enterprising soul can't figure a way to do it.

Yep, I've struck this problem before and it had me for a while.
I was using fonts I'd created myself using ZSoft Publishers'
Type Foundry. The weight assigned by PTF in the header of the
font wasn't the value 7 for bold. It was something like 3.
Windows (or was it the Laserjet) then refused to recognise it
as a bold font.  Try looking for the appropriate value in the
fonts header using a binary text editor.

The other trick that may assist you is to go in to the Printer
Setup window, click on the Fonts button, select the installed
font you want to check, then click on the Edit button.  This
will give you details of the values assigned to the font inside
the Windows generated PFM file.

Good luck!


Go into your Printer Setup window, click on the Fonts button

Although there is a Windows 3.1 DGIS video driver, you cannot use it
with the IGC series.  The DGIS driver from Windows 3.0 days will work
-- kind of.  It doesn't handle true type fonts.  HP does not support
DGIS with Windows 3.1.

You need to get updated TIGA firmware driver (tigacd.exe) from your
dealer or HP (good luck on finding anyone at HP that admits to
supporting video -- perhaps in oz).  I believe the verison is 2.05.

HP no longer markets the IGC series cards.  Their new product is (or
will be) S3-based.  They limited themselves to TIGA because
the Windows drivers come with 3.1.

The problem is in using Com 4.  Windows cannot use Com 3 or Com 4 without some fiddling with it.  I recommend you use Com 1 or Com 2.  I use Procomm for Windows with Com 2, no problemo.  BTW, there are patches out for Procomm/Win.

: First you got start windows by c:win/3 then you are in enhanced

: enable the 32bit access by clicking the box beside the statement

: win it will be in enhanced mode !! Happy Windowing !!
: 
: 

Whether or not the 32 bit access is enabled has NOTHING to do with whether
or not Windows will start in enhanced mode. If it won't start in enhanced
mode just by typing "win", then it is because it has sensed something which
will make enhanced mode impossible, or not very useful. There could be several
reasons. One is if Windows was originally installed on a 286 processor, then
various files needed to run enhanced mode were not loaded. The solution is
to reload Windows. You can verify this by typing "win /3". If there are files
missing, it will tell you, and refuse to load.

Another possibility is that your total available memory is too low. You may
be able to force enhanced mode with "win /3", but there may not be enough
memory available for reliable operation. The correct solution in this case
is to add more memory.

Note, I have a 486/33 with an Adaptec SCSI, so 32 bit disk access is not
available, yet enhanced mode comes up fine.

Methinks you're grossly underestimating the complexities of the Windows
memory management routines.

But as a basic starter suggestion, try disabling the hard disk paging         
completely. (I don't even know if this can be done, actually, I've never
tried it myself).

I run Windows v3.1 with Word for Windows v1.0, and whenever I try to
print a document, print manager is bypassed completely; i.e. control is
not returned to Word until the document has finished printing (i.e. A
Long Time).  Other windows can be activated, however, but if I do this,
everything goes haywire: System Resources Free drops from c60% to c30%,
dialog boxes display an abnormal (much larger than usual) font, menus
don't display properly; often the system crashes.

This happens with no other big apps running.  It happens whatever the
settings of "Use Print Manager" and "Fast printing direct to port" are. 
It happens whether or not PrintMan is loaded in the first place - if it
is loaded, it never sees the document being printed by Word.  With v3.0,
print manager worked a dream with Word and never caused such problems.

My system is:

Compaq 386 Portable
2MB RAM
3MB swapfile
HP Deskjet+

Pls reply direct and I'll post a summary.

A personal observation me and another guy found was that ATM slows down
text scrolling in his machine using any of the comm software he had
including Procomm.  I don't have it loaded on mine being that I don't use
ATM fonts.  You may want to try unloading ATM and see if it helps any.

I had the same problem, both with Win3.0 and 3.1. When I installed
OS/2 2.0, NO PROBLEM! Now, maybe this isn't an acceptable solution for
you, but it works for me.
