I am not sure if this is the correct newsgoup, but since it is under
windows I experience the problem, I'll give it a try.

I own a Canon Bubblejet 10ex printer, and I use Microsoft Word for
Windows as a writing tool. The problem is as follows. I insert a date in
the document six or so tabstops to the right on the page, and when I
print it I get the upper half of the chars printet about centered ont
the page, and the lower half to the right.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Since the 1123 is a dot-matrix printer, Windows doesn't download fonts to it.
The printer is receiving bitmapped images to produce the nice TT fonts. As a
result, it doesn't really matter what you do with your printer.

Try going into Print Setup, and find the section dealing with print quality.
Somewhere in there you'll find a dialogue which has a "draft" option. That
should be what you're after.

You can set the environment each DOS session gets in Windows by adding

CommandEnvSize=<size> to the [NonWindowsApp] section in SYSTEM.INI.  You
don't inherit the size environment you think, only the standard 256 bytes
or the size of the current variables rounded up to the next paragraph
(16 bytes).  Note that if you shell out of an application, even in plain
DOS, you have the same problem.  The solution I've adopted is to modify
the COMMAND.COM default by patching COMMAND.COM, then it's ALWAYS what
I want it to be.

PR.I believe this is because Windows can only handle 16 colors even when
  .your display can handle 256.

HUH?  It's the applications that have the color limitations, if you have
a 256 color driver, most decent applications will recognize that fact.

I am trying to use my mouse as com3/com4 with Windows 3.1.  I cannot use
the mouse at com1 or com2 due to some problem in the serial port of
the multifunction ide card.  And I can't disable com1/2 because I don't have
docs for the ide card.  Here's my setup

win 3.1
empty com1/com2
modem com3 w/16550AFN
old Logitech 3 button serial mouse on com4.
Sound Blaster Pro irq2 (not irq7)

I've tried explicitly telling control panel that com4 has its own irq5 but
no mouse pointer so I set it back to irq3.

Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

I have been reading the windows manual and it says lots of things you  can do
to save as much conventional memory as possible. (e.g. moving DOS, device
driver etc to UMB).

Now the questions: Why do we need to save the conventional memory? Can't a
DOS or Windows application be loaded to the extended memory? Does it imply that
DOS program runs only in conventional memory?( I assume windows does its only
memory managment so that windows application can be loaded to the extended
memory)

May be I miss it but I never read a line in the manual that say "DOS program
runs only in conventioanl memory".

I suspect that the problem is two fold. (if neither of these two are correct
then I have no clue as to the source of the slow down)

Exiting NDW 2.0 with the following two conditions can and a very long wait to 
the procedure.
First, if you have save configuration set, all of NDW groups will be re-saved
even if there is no change. (the more you have the longer it takes)
Second, if you are running smartcan, it intercepts the deleteing and resaving
of the files and does it's smartcan stuff to each deleted group file. 

FI solved this problem by adding qag to the extension list that was not 
protected in the smartcan options.  Good Luck

I'm posting this instead of mailing it because it may be of general interest:

When you buy the SB Pro, be SURE that you have the latest version.  Here's
the story, according to Creative Labs:

They originally released the SB Pro with **2** seperate 11-voice mono chips,
which gave it 22 voices, and ``stereo''.  A few months later, they realized
that they could put a higher quality 20-voice TRUE stereo chip onto the board
and sell it for the same price, so they did so.  The true stereo chip has
better range, and it is the chip around which Creative Labs is centering
their concentration.  Unfortunately, most dealers now have obsolete cards on
their hands, and Creative Labs is not offering a chip upgrade to them.  If
you are concerned about this, ASK YOUR DEALER WHICH BOARD HE/SHE CARRIES.

Just thought that you'd like to know.

Jason

Thanks for the Responses.  I had trouble creating .dll libraries
in iconmaster  (Its on Cica by the way) so I tried IconShow.
(also on cica)  Iconshow was easy to creat a library,
but had no editing capapbilities.  So i used IconShow for the libraries,
and linked it to IconMaster for editing.  Works out well, but obviously
is a pain and is redundant.  If you perhaps could give a brief overview 
of using IconMaster for .dll files I would appreciate it.  Thanks alot.

You can only drag from the File Manager because it's classified as a

a client so you can only drag programs onto it but not from.

This sounds like a memory problem to me.  I had very similar symptoms
when I was running on a 286 with 1 meg of memory.  I upgraded to a
386 with 8 megs, and magically, all the problems disappeared, not to
mention everything started running about a million times faster.
