WD95: Some Characters Missing/Cut Off When Displayed on Screen (184142)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word for Windows 95
- Microsoft Word for Windows 95 7.0a
This article was previously published under Q184142 SYMPTOMS When you view your document in Word, some characters may
either be missing or the top (bottom) of some characters may be cutoff.
This problem may affect the following types of characters:
- Underscores.
- Underlines.
- Characters with an ascender.
- Characters with a descender.
- International characters that contain an umlaut, acute
accent, grave accent, circumflex, or tilde.
- Objects that are inline with the text of your document. For
example, a picture that is not inserted in a frame or text box.
NOTE: This problem does not affect printing; that is,
underscores, underlines, and characters with an ascender, descender, or
International characters print correctly even though they may not be displayed
correctly. CAUSE The line spacing of your text may be set to an exact
height. When you set the line spacing to Exactly and select a measurement that
is equal to or less than the height of the font, underscore and underline
characters may not be displayed and characters that have an ascender,
descender, or an umlaut may be cutoff. For example, if you set line spacing to
Exactly 9- point for a 10-point font, underscore and underline characters may
be cutoff.
NOTE: This problem may occur differently with different
fonts. RESOLUTION This problem is a display only problem. Use one or more of
the following methods appropriate for your situation: Method 1: Change the Document Zoom Setting When you change the zoom percentage, Word may allow you to view
the full height of your text by using the following steps: - On the View menu, click Zoom.
- Do one of the following:
- Under Zoom To, change to a larger setting. For example,
change to 200 percent and then click OK.
- Under Percent, change the percentage to a larger
setting. For example, change the Percentage to 120 percent.
Method 2: Change the Document View When you change the view of your document to either Outline or
Master Document view, Word will show the full height of your text. To change
the view of your document, click either Outline or Master Document on the View
menu. NOTE: This problem occurs in both Normal and Page Layout view.
When you view your document in either Outline or Master Document view,
paragraph formatting is ignored. Method 3: Change the Line Spacing- With your text selected, click Paragraph on the Format
menu.
- Do one or both of the following:
- On the Indents And Spacing tab, change the Line Spacing
setting to something other than Exactly. For example, change the Line Spacing
setting to Single.
- Change the At setting to a setting slightly larger than
the font point size you are using in your document. For example, if your font
point size is 10-point, then change the At box to 11-point.
Method 4: Change the Font or Point Size- With your text selected, click Font on the Format menu.
- On the Font tab, do one or both of the following:
- Change the Font setting to a different font.
- Change the Size setting to a smaller size than what you
have your line spacing set to. For example, if you have your line spacing set
to Exactly 12-point, then change the font size to 11-point.
