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.

To obtain an updated version of WordStar for Windows, contact your software
vendor or call Wordstar International, Incorporated, at 1-800-227-5609. Outside
