   Don't add leading          7.0        Displays text without leading
   (extra space) between                 between the lines. This is the
   rows of text                          same functionality that exists in
                                         Word versions 5.x for the
                                         Macintosh.

   whole number of points                spacing for characters with
                                         condensed or expanded spacing to

   Print body text before     7.0        Prints the main text layer before
   header/footer                         the Header/Footer layer, which
                                         allows for the process of
                                         PostScript codes in the text layer
                                         the same way Word 5.x for the
                                         Macintosh does. (This
                                         functionality is the reverse of
                                         the default order.)

   Print colors as black      6.0 7.0    Prints all colors as black,

                                         you use a printer that does not
                                         print color.

   Substitute fonts based     7.0        Option used by the WordPerfect 6.x
   on font size                          converter to make a font request
                                         based on font size first, and if a
                                         match is not found, to actually

                                         at the top of a page is set for
                                         more than single spacing, Word
                                         ignores the extra spacing so that
                                         the top margin will not increase.

   for the Macintosh                     at the top of a page is set for
                                         more than single line spacing,
                                         Word ignores the extra spacing so
                                         that the top margin will not
                                         increase.

   Suppress extra line        7.0        This ensures that the layout of
   spacing like WP 5.x                   converted WordPerfect documents
                                         formatted with Automatic line
                                         height closely matches that of the
                                         original document.

   Suppress space before      6.0 7.0    Word suppresses the space in a

                                         page break or column break.

   Swap left and right        6.0 7.0    If a paragraph has a left border
   borders on odd facing                 (not a box) and the "Different
   pages                                 Odd/Even Headers" or "Mirror
                                         Margins" check box is selected,
                                         Word prints the border on the
                                         right on odd numbered pages.

   Treat \" as " " in         6.0 7.0    In a data source, converts a
   mail merge data sources               delimiter composed of a backslash
                                         and quotation mark (\") to two
                                         quotation marks (" "), so that
                                         Word can recognize quotation
                                         marks.

   Truncate font height       7.0        Word rounds the font size up or
                                         down as in WordPerfect 6.x for
                                         Windows.

   Use larger small caps      7.0        Applies small caps formatting in
   like MacWord 5.x                      Word version 6.0 for the Macintosh
                                         the same way as Word version 5.x
                                         for the Macintosh, which produces
                                         slightly larger smaller capital
                                         letters.

   Wrap Trailing Spaces       6.0 7.0    Automatically moves any spaces
   To Next Line                          that trail into the margin after a
                                         word at the end of a line to the
                                         beginning of the next line.
