SYMPTOMS

Under Windows NT version 3.5, if you format a paragraph as Justified and print it with a PostScript driver, the words on a line with large spaces between them may incorrectly have spaces between the letters in the word, instead of between the words.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem on printers that are capable of both PostScript and Hewlett-Packard (HP) PCL, use an HP PCL printer driver.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Workstation and Windows NT Server version 3.5. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows NT version 3.5. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
