TROUBLESHOOTING
Application Installation Problems ( cont.)
Symptom Explanation Solution
The word
processing
program is
supposed to
use on-screen
underlining,
but it doesn't
show up.
Reinstall the application for color , rather than
monochrome , use. This works as long as the program
doesn ' t use colors that don ' t appear.
The DIMENSION monochrome workstation board
emulates a PC color graphics adaptor used in
conjunction with a monochrome monitor. Thus,
graphics and text may be mixed . ( The PC monochrome
board is text only -- no graphics). One difference
between the PC monochrome and color boards is that
the monochrome board supports underlining of text and
the color board doesn't. Because the North Star
monochrome workstation board emulates the PC color
board , there can.be no underlining . If an application
attempts to use underlining, nothing appears on the
video monitor. The characters appear , but they aren't
underlined.
