MS Linedraw Font

[Guest]

Even though MS Linedraw font is installed, I cannot access the font through Word. I can however access it from Notepad, Wordpad and other programs. Any suggestions on how to make it work in Word?

Hi, lino. Not sure which version of Word you have, but Word 97 and later versions do not support the MS LineDraw font. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid211807.

Thanks for your prompt reply garfield-n-odie. I have however already read the article and I would still like to know how to convert my old DOS text files containing Greek letters directly into Word 2003. I can do it directly with linedraw font in both Wordpad and Notepad. Other articles suggest that Courier New emulates Linedraw font but this is not the case.

You might be able to open your old DOS text files in Wordpad, then "save
as" Word files.

I have had a similar problem today. You could try using Lotus Line Draw which is supported by Word3k. Contact tjalderatnetspace.net.au for more details.
