You are asked during WinWord installation if you want to install them. They work fine, and show up appropriately on the screen. There is no need to dig into the Laserjet symbol set. The symbol set seems to include a complete set of Greek Letters, mapped generally where you would expect them on the keyboard (alpha to a, beta to b etc.). -- Bruce Dunn Vancouver, Canada a752@mindlink.UUCP

Does anyone know how to access the PC-8 symbol set on an HP Laserjet III using Windows 3.0 and Word for Windows? I got Microsoft's Supplemental Library of drivers for Windows, but it didn't help at all. Beta and mu come out okay, but alpha, gamma, delta, and some others appear as underlines or something else. I tried hacking HPPCL5A.DRV to replace the ESC (8U sequence that invokes the Roman-8 symbol set with ESC (10U to invoke the PC-8 set, but that appeared to make no difference. If only Windows had something like the MAKEPRD that comes with Word for DOS. . . Anybody got a clue on this one? I wish Microsoft would get their Mac, DOS, and Windows developers together so the various versions of Word would meld, but I'm not holding my breath. John F.
