example, some elements of the WordStar screen might not be displayed the same as
they were in Windows version 3.0.

Windows version 3.1 uses descriptive printer-model names for printer drivers.
Because WordStar does not recognize the new names, you need to update your
WordStar templates. Do this by opening a template, selecting the printer you are
using, and then saving the new information in the template.

vendor or call Wordstar International, Incorporated, at 1-800-227-5609. Outside
