[comp.text.desktop] Line draw characters running Word for Windows???

shwake@raysnec.UUCP (Ray Shwake) (08/07/90)

	Is there no way to do line drawing with WinWord? I find NO reference
to same anywhere in the manuals, but - having used such a facility with
both Word Perfect 5.0 and even Word 4.0 - it's something I would have
expected!

     I recall reading somewhere (?) that WinWord does not support the
     extended IBM character set which means that you will be unable to
     use the line drawing chars. :(.  WinWord has many nice features, but
     I still prefer Word 5.0.
