2945.0. "Character table files ?" by VAXRIO::ABREU () Wed Jun 30 1993 17:41

    Hi,
    
      I have a customer who has a non-dec printer but he has the .prc and
    .pra for this printer and when using WPSPLUS editor , if he prints the
    file it works fine. But If he uses EDT as his editor and he edits a
    file with some special characters , it doesn't work .
    
    I explained him that EDT doesn't read this character table files (.prc
    and .pra files) so that's why the printing is not good ... is that right ?
    
    I mean if the user chooses an editor different from WPS or WPSPLUS ,
    when he prints a file with special characters , the charac. table are
    not read and the file is not printed properly ?
    
    Thks,                                                  
    
     Marcia

	WPS-PLUS Printer Tables (or character table files as you have called them) are created for and used only by the WPS-PLUS Formatter. Documents which are formatted by the WPS-PLUS Formatter will use WPS-PLUS Printer Tables. Documents which are formatted by any other formatter will not use WPS-PLUS Printer Tables. The formatter used during a print operation is not directly controlled by which editor is used to create the document. The selection of editor and formatter is determined by the Handling for the document. The WPS editor creates ASCII documents and these are not normally formatted using the WPS-PLUS formatter, but a user can change the Handling for such documents so they are formatted with the WPS-PLUS Formatter.
