Help please with printing Ascii art.

	How do I get MS word in proportional font so I can print ascii art?
Thanks in advance for your help.

	(PS- I tried printing from notepad and my Free Agent- but it just
didn't look right.)

Change the font to a fixed-spacing "typewriter" font such as courier.

  Hi James,
     Notepad really puked on ya?  Weird, I used Notepad for years with no
ill effects. Now I use Notepad + tho and that works also.  Anyway with MS
Word 7.0 I use "Courier New" font to print with.  If that doesn't work and
no one here in alt.ascii-art can help you then you might try asking in a
printer Usenet Newsgroup.  They might help ya with locating a website
where you can download some better fonts to use for your particular
computer, printer, software combination.
   Take care, Jon Melusky
