I am having problem with Microsoft Word 4.0 & 5.0 when running in the
text mode. My configuration is as follows:
IBM PC-XT (real IBM) w/ 640K
Seagate 20MB HD
Hercules Graphics Plus (with ram-font)
monocrome monitor
Mouse Systems Mouse (with bus card)
When installing both versions, they both recognize the Hercules Graphics
Plus card because it contains the different fonts on rom on the board.
This was to speed up the display (since it was running in text mode instead
of in graphics mode). When I run in the 24x80 mode and *all* the graphics
modes, everything works fine. But if I try to run in the high density
text mode eg. 35 lines x 90 columns, the mouse controls are completely
uncontrollable. Has anyone else run into this problem? The only thing
that is might be out of the norm is the Mouse Systems Mouse (as opposed to
a Microsoft Mouse). Any suggestions?
