The Word software package lets you modify Word's printer
driver file, a file with the extension .PRD, to create your own
driver file. By modifying the printer driver file, you can
perform certain global functions: for example, remapping the
character table so that whenever you enter & on the keyboard,
the printer prints ®.

this procedure in detail. Briefly, to modify the .PRD file, you
run a Word program called MAKEPRD. (The file
MAKEPRD.EXE must be in your directory.) The MAKEPRD
program converts the .PRD file into an ASCII text file, and you
can type the new printer control commands as text in this file.
When the text version of your .PRD file is modified the way
you want it, you run MAKEPRD again to convert the file back
into a printer driver file.
Within the Microsoft Word program itself, you also can key in
command strings as text and send them to the printer as long as
the command string is not interrupted with Word formatting
codes. For example, you could type the following line into a
text-only file and send it to the printer with Microsoft Word:
ESC*c10A ESC*c1200B ESC*c0P
