Change the Character
Multi-Stroke (Bold)
This procedure explains how to change the multi–stroke value of
an individual character within a message. Changing the
multi–stroke (bold) value makes the character bolder by increasing
the number of vertical strokes of ink drops used to create each
character.
When you increase the multi–stroke value, the thickness (darkness)
of the character changes. Only new characters can be made bold;
you cannot change an existing character in the message to bold
type.
Procedure
1. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the location in the
message where you want the character to appear.
2. Begin in Frame <01 CHAR>. Refer to Figure 6-9.
