ì/ ÁÃ ÃÃÃDescription of ChangesÄÄÄ Ä
à ÃÄ ÄAuto ReferenceÂ Þ " ÂAuto references containing character 0 of any character set 1-11 in the target
name would display as spurious characters in reveal codes although the
reference would generate correctly. Æ(# Æ
Auto RewriteÂ Þ " ÂDisplay would distort if a tab or tab align was inserted in front of a previously
inserted tab or tab align. Example: The cursor would move into previously
typed text when an align code was inserted in front of a previously inserted
align code.Æ(# Æ
Auto RewriteÂ Þ " ÂAutomatic Format and Rewrite could be permanently disabled if the user
inserted a hard page in parallel columns and then changed anything on the
Setup key in the same session. Deleting the .SET file would resolve the
problem. Æ(# Æ
BlockÂ Þ " ÂBlock centering a large amount of text with function codes in the block could
display spurious characters at the end of the block. Rewriting the screen
would clear the problem.Æ(# Æ
Block Â Þ " ÂA column off code was being changed to a HRt when block was used to center
(or flush right) one or more lines of text that ended with a column off.Æ(# Æ
BlockÂ Þ " ÂBlock centering certain codes would occasionally display spurious characters
on the screen . Rewriting the screen would clear the spurious characters. Æ(# Æ
Block/Append Â Þ " ÂWhen using CRTL F4 to append a block (sentence, paragraph, or page of text)
to a locked file, using an incorrect password would cause WordPerfect to return
back to the document screen with the message "Block On" flashing, even
though CRTL F4 was used to block the text instead of ALT F4.Æ(# Æ
Block/CenterÂ Þ " ÂBlock/Centering text following a Math Off code caused problems.Æ(# Æ
Block ProtectÂ Þ " ÂImproper display resulted if a block protect off code were immediately after
a word which contained a font change or attribute change to a bigger font than
the font active for the preceding space, and the word just barely exceeded the
right hyphenation zone and thus needed to be wrapped to the next line.Æ(# Æ
Block Protect Â Þ " ÂBlock protect did not function correctly with widow/orphan on. If a widow
occurred in a protected block, the protect code would be moved to the end of
the widow line instead of remaining where it should be.Æ(# Æ
Code PageÂ Þ " ÂWhen a user changed their code page at DOS to Norway the "o slashes" were
not being recognized by Spell.exe or Hyphen.exe.Æ(# Æ
ColumnsÂ Þ " ÂA line ending with a column off code could get bumped to the next page
unnecessarily, if one of the columns in the group extended to the end of the
page. This problem was noticeable when creating mailing labels for a page
printer. The last line of the last label on the page would wrap down to the
next page.Æ(# Æ
Ô @( ÔColumnsÂ Þ " ÂFirst line of columns would often not display if the left margin of column one
were less than the left document margin.Æ(# Æ
Columns Â Þ " ÂImproper screen display resulted if a file used virtual files (large documents)
and had a block protect code in the right place. A style with a block protect
off code greatly increased the chances of this happening.Æ(# Æ
CommentsÂ Þ " ÂInternational versions: Extended characters were not being handled properly
in a comment. This occurred during document conversion (.CRS) from 4.2 to
5.0 in international versions if a comment needed to be inserted for a font
change.Æ(# Æ
CommentsÂ Þ " ÂCreating a comment from any blocked text that contained a DSRT would
format incorrectly.Æ(# Æ
Control PrinterÂ Þ " ÂIf you rushed a print job that contained two digits, after the rushed job was
finished one of the digits would be left on the message line. The entire
message is now deleted.Æ(# Æ
Control PrinterÂ Þ " ÂControl Printer now gives the message "Press C to Cancel or G to Continue"
when softfont or embedded printer command files are not found. Before, the
"Action" message just said "Press G to Continue".Æ(# Æ
Cursor/DisplayÂ Þ " ÂThe need for the /F1 switch has been eliminated. Fixed problems with a
disappearing or single line cursor after starting WordPerfect or after View
Document or editing a graphics image.Æ(# Æ
Cursor MovementÂ Þ " ÂThe Ctrl key would get stuck and any function key pressed would act as if the
Ctrl key had been pressed with it if: (1) the user had an enhanced keyboard,
(2) he/she held down the left CTRL key along with the left or right arrow
key from the middle cluster of arrow keys (not on the number pad) until the
cursor repeated Word Right/Left several times, (3) then let up on the CTRL
key before the arrow key.Æ(# Æ
Date Â Þ " ÂIf the user changed his date format from shift-F5, and then went into setup,
not changing the date format there, the date would be changed to reflect what
was in setup anyway. This has been fixed to preserve the previous format if
no changes are made to date in setup.Æ(# Æ
DeleteÂ Þ " ÂDelete EOL (end of line) on a line that ended with a style containing an HRt,
DSRt, ISRt, or hyphen would also delete the following line.Æ(# Æ
Display Â Þ " ÂThe status line was not being updated after a flush right or center function was
used, therefore giving the appearance that nothing had happened. The user
had to press the
Display Â Þ " ÂThe Graphic Screen Type (Display) menu would not accept extended
characters. (i.e might be displayed as a box)Æ(# Æ
DisplayÂ Þ " ÂColumns that contained large amounts of text were not displaying the text in
column two until the cursor was moved to column two. WordPerfect can now
read text directly from the virtual files in addition to text already in the edit
buffer. This means that all columns will display on the screen at the same time
instead of waiting until the cursor was moved to a column and then read the
respective text up from the virtual files. This change also affects documents
with lots of extended chars and codes that would not display a full screen of
text until the cursor moved up or down. Æ(# Æ
Ô ø( ÔDisplay PitchÂ Þ " ÂWhen a user had two graphic boxes side by side and then tried to insert text
between the two graphic images, the Display Pitch could change to the
minimum value (.03"). The boxes still printed and viewed correctly.Æ(# Æ
Doc CompareÂ Þ " ÂSwedish Version: The prompts "Text above was moved" and "Text below was
moved" could not contain extended characters. The text for these messages in
Swedish does contain extended characters and was causing corruption.Æ(# Æ
Doc CompareÂ Þ " ÂDocument compare used to move functions over from the file on disk to the
file on screen when text nearby was different which posed problems. Doc
compare now only copies text from the disk file to the screen file in the usual
strike out manner.Æ(# Æ
Doc SummaryÂ Þ " ÂASCII characters used in the Subject Search String were changed to control
characters. When creating a Document Summary (shift F8 3,5) if a user typed
in RE:, then Compose(CTRL©2) 4,6 as their Subject Search Stà ÃÄ Äring, the subject
search string would display control characters instead of the ASCII character
selected.Æ(# Æ
Doc Summary Â Þ " ÂIf a file contained any extended character number 0 (the bullet [4,0] for
example) in the document summary, looking at the file using List Files, the
file would scroll by to the end.Æ(# Æ
Doc SummaryÂ Þ " ÂWhen a hyphen was used in the Descriptive Filename for Document Summary,
the hyphen was changed to an ASCII (ASCII 170) corner character. When
creating a Document Summary (Shift F8 3,5,1), the user selected a descriptive
filename that contained a hyphen, WordPerfect would change the hyphen into
an ASCII corner character. If the file was saved in this state, the file could
not be retrieved again as WordPerfect was not able to read the ASCII corner
character.Æ(# Æ
Document CompareÂ Þ " ÂDocument Compare strings "TEXT ABOVE WAS MOVED" and "TEXT
BELOW WAS MOVED" could not display extended characters. (The swedish
version uses some extended characters in this string.) This change only affects
international versions.Æ(# Æ
EndnoteÂ Þ " ÂWhen using parallel columns if an endnote placement code was inserted at the
end of column one, text in the next column displayed incorrectly.Æ(# Æ
Endnote Â Þ " ÂIf text containing a new endnote number were placed (Retrieve©F10, Block
copied or moved©Ctrl F4, or undeleted©F1) into an endnote, this new number
code would not be deleted if the endnote were deleted and caused problems
with subsequent endnote numbers.Æ(# Æ
Endnote Â Þ " ÂCursoring over an endnote placement code caused problems if certain function
codes preceded it. It is not feasible to get a comprehensive list of the
functions.Æ(# Æ
Error Handling Â Þ " ÂReceiving the error message "Put WordPerfect 2 disk back in drive..." is now
recoverable. Rather than locking up the machine, the user will be returned
to the document screen.Æ(# Æ
Flush RightÂ Þ " ÂA line containing an indent code would not Block, Flush Right correctly.
Indent codes are now deleted when included in Block Flush Right.Æ(# Æ
FontÂ Þ " ÂPressing cancel at just the right time when entering a long font list (Ctrl©F8,
Font<3>) could cause problems.Æ(# Æ
Ô ø( ÔFont/AttributesÂ Þ " ÂIf a vertical advance immediately followed an attribute off code like underline
or strikeout, the advance code was being sent to the printer first, causing the
attribute to print lower or higher than expected. Now attribute off and vertical
advance codes are printed in their correct sequence.Æ(# Æ
Font AttributesÂ Þ " ÂWhen printing with a second pass printer (i.e. HP Series II) only 25 on/off
attributes (underline, strikeout, etc.) were printed per line. WordPerfect now
allows 204 on/off attributes per line. Æ(# Æ
Font Attributes Â Þ " ÂA Small Caps attribute would not turn off correctly if used with certain other
attributes (underline or redline). Æ(# Æ
FootnoteÂ Þ " ÂFootnotes that wrapped to the next page could cause problems. The problem
appeared more frequently if "Spacing Within Footnotes" was set greater than
1.Æ(# Æ
FootnoteÂ Þ " ÂAny force odd/even code inside a footnote would throw page numbering off
inside the footnote edit screen.Æ(# Æ
FootnotesÂ Þ " ÂPgUp while in the footnote edit screen was the same as Home,Home,Up. Now
PgUp moves the cursor up one page at a time.Æ(# Æ
FootnotesÂ Þ " ÂWhen trying to edit a non-existing footnote, when "Not Found " was displayed
the cursor would reposition to the end of the document. Æ(# Æ
FormsÂ Þ " ÂOption `9' (A4 Wide) did not function properly under Printer(Shift-F7),
Select(S), Edit(3), Forms(4), Add(1), Standard(1), Form Size(1), A4 ÃÃWÄÄide (9).
The user would hit `9' and nothing would happen. Selecting the mnemonic `w'
worked.Æ(# Æ
FormsÂ Þ " ÂThe "O" in Format, Page Size menu (Shift-F8, 2-page, 8-paper size/type) has
been changed to "o" to eliminate confusion for users who keep trying 0 (zero).Æ(# Æ
FormsÂ Þ " ÂIn international versions, if a form name was entered that contained any
extended characters, these characters were being display as the Ascii Box (254).Æ(# Æ
GenerateÂ Þ " ÂIncorrect page numbers were given in Table of Contents and Lists for graphics
that were bumped to the next page. Now generate can detect when graphics
are bumped are gives the page number the graphic was bumped to.Æ(# Æ
Generate Â Þ " ÂGeneration is now only possible from the main editing screen. It is not allowed
in any other sub-structures, although there may be mark text functions in the
sub-structures, generate is only allowed from the main editing screen.Æ(# Æ
Generate Â Þ " ÂGenerate definitions (T of C, List, Index, T of A) are no longer allowed inside
of headers and footers. Auto-Reference marks may be placed inside of
headers and footers, but no other text marks (T of C, List, Index, T of A) are
allowed.Æ(# Æ
Generate Â Þ " ÂSub-document codes were allowed in headers & footers even though these
sub-documents were never expanded with the expand function.
Sub-documents are no longer allowed in header & footers, only in the main
edit screen.Æ(# Æ
Generate Â Þ " ÂIf a master document with sub-documents having index entries were generated
before being expanded, the index page numbers would be off since the master
document was smaller than it should be.Æ(# ÆÔ ø( Ô
Generate Â Þ " ÂAuto-hyphenation On could cause problems when generating a Table of
Contents in a master document.Æ(# Æ
GenerateÂ Þ " ÂAny Mark Text codes found between a [DefMark] and an [EndDef] during
generate will now abort the generate and give the message "Generate codes
found between [DefMark] and [EndDef]". This will force users to move the
misplaced Mark Text code instead of simply deleting it along with the old
Table.Æ(# Æ
GenerateÂ Þ " ÂAdded a new message -- "Subdoc not allowed within function". This will
occur if there is a subdocument inside of a footnote, endnote, graphic box,
header, footer, or other WordPerfect structure. A sub-document codes is only
allowed at the main edit screen.Æ(# Æ
Generate Â Þ " ÂWhile condensing using generate, a sub-document with a style in it could,
under certain conditions, cause WordPerfect to count too many function codes
and place the cursor at the wrong location, causing a begin/end mismatch
error.Æ(# Æ
Go to DOSÂ Þ " ÂNetwork WordPerfect would display improperly when a Go to DOS was
executed if a print job sent to a network printer that was not accepting
characters were canceled before the Go to DOS.Æ(# Æ
Grab.ComÂ Þ " ÂWhen Grab/R was used to remove grab from memory, some memory would
still not be useable (usually 100-150 bytes, depending on the size of
environment).Æ(# Æ
Grab.Com Â Þ " ÂEnhancement to GRAB.COM: The Screen Capture Utility no longer checks
to see if an 8514A graphics card is in use. If the user has this type of card,
they must use the new /8 startup option.Æ(# Æ
Graphic LinesÂ Þ " ÂAn enhancement has been added to allow editing of graphic lines. The
graphics line menu now contains two additional choices under the `Edit Line'
subheading: 3-H(o)rizontal and 4-V(e)rtical. Enter the line type you wish to
edit, WordPerfect will now search left (backwards) in the document until it
finds the first occurrence of that type of line. The line definition screen will
appear and you may change any of the settings shown. Cancel-F1 will cancel
any changes made, exit-F7 will replace the line code in the document with the
new values selected. Æ(# Æ
GraphicsÂ Þ " ÂThe "invert" menu option in the graphic figure edit screen has been changed.
It now reads "Invert On" or "Invert Off" which tells the user the invert status
of bitmap images. Pressing Invert (I,4) will re-write the image inverted, and
the status will change.Æ(# Æ
GraphicsÂ Þ " ÂSwitching document screens from the Graphics Edit Screen could cause
problems.Æ(# Æ
GraphicsÂ Þ " ÂCharacter boxes alone on a line could cause vertical inconsistencies in the
positioning of text and other character boxes on the page when viewed or
printed. Generally it would look as if character boxes lower on the page were
creeping up or down relative to the text.Æ(# Æ
GraphicsÂ Þ " ÂCentered text in a character graphic box which also is centered caused text to
be displayed improperly. This has been improved, but the text will still be
displayed too far to the right if the user centers both the text and the box.
Either the text or the graphic box should be centered ©- not both.Æ(# ÆÔ ø( Ô
GraphicsÂ Þ " ÂTIF graphics files could cause an error when retrieved if they had been created
at a default resolution (pixels per inch) that when decompressed, were wider
than WordPerfect could handle. WordPerfect now adjusts such files to a size
it can handle so no error occurs.Æ(# Æ
Graphics Â Þ " ÂCertain machines were losing the changes made to graphic figures in the
graphic edit screen.Æ(# Æ
GraphicsÂ Þ " ÂOn certain computers, a scaled (enlarged or reduced) graphic figure would
revert to original size after viewed in View Document. Æ(# Æ
GraphicsÂ Þ " ÂOn color monitors, the filled (shaded) area of a graphic image that was filled
with the same color as the background color on the display (white, for
example) would appear not to be filled on the screen. In View Document,
WordPerfect was not displaying the fill color if it were the same as the
background color. This was most noticeable on the .WPG fills shipped with
WordPerfect that had been converted with GRAPHCNV.EXE using the /C-2
option. The graphics would print with a solid fill color. They only displayed
incorrectly on the screen.Æ(# Æ
GraphicsÂ Þ " ÂCharacter type graphics boxes with text inside them did not work correctly
when a binding width was specified. The box would move as specified by the
binding width, but the text inside the box would move farther left or right.
Both the box and any text inside the box will now move the same distance.Æ(# Æ
GraphicsÂ Þ " ÂWhile creating a graphic figure, if a `filename' were entered that contained
certain extended characters (i.e. SeÀ8Àor), the file was not found and the
extended characters in the filename were altered. WordPerfect now handles
graphic filenames with extended characters correctly.Æ(# Æ
GraphicsÂ Þ " ÂWrapping text around graphic boxes, certain conditions (several graphics, etc)
could cause too much text to be bumped to the next page. WordPerfect now
measures correctly how much text can fit on the page around graphics, and
text is not bumped prematurely.Æ(# Æ
HeadersÂ Þ " ÂHeaders containing a centered line of text followed by a Hard Return and no
text on the next line caused problems when printed with HMI printers.Æ(# Æ
Hyphen.ExeÂ Þ " ÂAdding a list of words (WordPerfect format) containing a soft page code cause
problems in Hyphen.Exe.Æ(# Æ
Hyphen.exeÂ Þ " ÂWords added to the exception dictionary would be lost or deleted when using
Hyphen.Exe if the user would added words to the exception dictionary before
performing a lookup first. The added words would write over the current
words in the exception dictionary. Also, words were lost if the user added
words then tested hyphenation (Option 5), then added more words.Æ(# Æ
HyphenationÂ Þ " ÂIf parallel columns were turned on for the last line of the page, then the first
word on the next line (which should be on the next page) might be requested
to be hyphenated, even though the word may be quite short (i.e. `the'). This
could cause a hyphenation request for the same short word every time the user
cursored past it.Æ(# Æ
HyphenationÂ Þ " ÂIf a hyphenation spot isn't found in the H-zone, but is found to the left of the
H-zone, the hyphen will be placed at the hyphen spot to the left of the H-zone
and the user will be prompted to "Position Hyphen and Press ESC". If noÔ @( Ô hyphen spot is found in or to the left of the H-zone the hyphen will be placed
at the right margin and the user will be prompted.Æ(# Æ
IndexÂ Þ " ÂWhen blocking a word for inclusion in an index, and entering more than one
word in the heading, if cancel (F1) were pressed for the subheading, corruption
would appear in the index code in reveal codes.Æ(# Æ
Index/GenerateÂ Þ " ÂGenerating an index heading or subheading that contained WordPerfect
character 0 (zero) from any of the character sets 1-11 could cause problems
during the generate. Æ(# Æ
Initial CodesÂ Þ " ÂGraphic images in initial codes were causing the error message "Virtual files
cannot be Found". Graphics are now disallowed in initial codes. Æ(# Æ
Initial CodesÂ Þ " ÂA [Col ON] code in Initial Codes would cause display problems if GOTO©Up
Arrow (Ctrl©Home©Up Arrow) was used in the first column.Æ(# Æ
Initial FontÂ Þ " ÂA change to the printer initial font was not reflected in the Base Font menu
and Document Initial Font when a new document was created. While a
document was on the screen the printer initial font was changed (ShiftªF7,S,E,I). When the document was cleared from the screen, document initial
font (Shift©F8,D,F) and base font (Ctrl©F8,F) were not showing the font
change that had been made in printer initial fonts. WordPerfect will now
reflect any Print Initial Font changes in subsequent documents created during
the same session. Æ(# Æ
Keyboard LayoutÂ Þ " ÂWordPerfect will now read WPK files which are read-only. If the read-only
WordPerfectK file is modified, and the user tries to save the modified
WordPerfectK file, the error "ACCESS DENIED" will be displayed.Æ(# Æ
Line NumberingÂ Þ " ÂOn absolute position printers, (e.g. HP Laserjet printers) line numbers at the
top of the page could print in an unpredictable horizontal position if the line
numbering was set too close to the left unprintable zone and line numbering
did not restart on each page.Æ(# Æ
Line SpacingÂ Þ " ÂUsing line spacing greater than 1, WordPerfect could bump more than one line
to the next page when it reached the bottom of the page (even with
widow/orphan off).Æ(# Æ
LinedrawÂ Þ " ÂEnhancement: Allowed home-arrow and home-home-arrow in line draw.
Home arrow will take you to the next non-blank character in the direction of
travel. (The maximum number of spaces is 100.) Home-home-arrow will take
you to a margin or top of document or a maximum of 100 spaces.Æ(# Æ
List Files Â Þ " Â"Incompatible file format" was being displayed if a user tried to print a locked
document in list files and typed in the wrong password. "File is locked" is now
used.Æ(# Æ
Locked DocumentsÂ Þ " ÂIf a user tried to retrieve a locked document, gave an incorrect password, then
cancelled out of the retrieve, the edit screen would display the document name
on the status line. If the user then mistakenly saved this empty file the locked
document would be replaced without a "Replace Y/N?".Æ(# Æ
MacroÂ Þ " ÂA macro that had a password added using WordPerfect Library's List Manager
would not execute properly.Æ(# Æ
Ô ' ÔMacroÂ Þ " ÂAssigning strings to Macro variables (Ctrl-PgUP, Var#, text) while in the main
screen did not work correctly with extended characters. The extended
characters were not displayed properly when the user pressed Alt-Var#.Æ(# Æ
Macros Â Þ " ÂIf {DISPLAY OFF} were used in a macro, either pausing (^C in a merge) or
{Pause}ing during execution of the macro would make WordPerfect appear to
hang. The display was not being restored after the macro was finished. Æ(# Æ
Macros Â Þ " Â.MRS files is now shareable read/write making it possible for many users to
access it on the network.Æ(# Æ
Macros.WpkÂ Þ " ÂIf the Macros Keyboard were being used and an attempt was made to do a
Temporary Font change (Ctrl-F8, 3 or T) for any blocked text, the block
would be deleted if the user selected any font option (Cancel or F1, Exit or
F7, S, or *) other than
Margin ReleaseÂ Þ " ÂPressing
the margin release in front of the [HRt] on the newly created blank line, and
another would appear with the moved line of text.Æ(# Æ
Margins/PTRÂ Þ " ÂThe minimum left and right margins set in PTR were not recognized correctly
by WordPerfect. The minimum ÃÃrightÄÄ margin in PTR was being read for both
the right and left margins in WordPerfect.Æ(# Æ
Master DocsÂ Þ " ÂIf an expanded master document that had a missing subdoc was generated, it
would be condensed at the end of the generate. Now an expanded master doc
will always remain expanded at the end of generate.Æ(# Æ
MathÂ Þ " ÂMath was not calculating correctly if a number were found after a flush right
or justified tab.Æ(# Æ
MergeÂ Þ " ÂUsing a locked secondary file, the password would only be requested on the
first merge of the session. Any subsequent merges with locked secondary files
would not request a password. This affects only ÃÃlocked secondary mergeÄÄ files.Æ(# Æ
MergeÂ Þ " ÂUsing ^Omessage^O^C in a secondary file would occasionally give the error
"Function not allowed between ^O^P^S or ^G". Æ(# Æ
Merge Â Þ " ÂMerging directly to a manual feed printer would give the message "Error file
not found" on the second record and the continue processing. After the second
record had printed the merge would terminate even though there were more
records left to be processed. This was corrected by a fix with the merge ^C
code.Æ(# Æ
MergeÂ Þ " ÂUsing ^Omessage^O^C inside a ^F^ code, to prompt the user to enter a field
number during a merge, would cause the merge to pause once before
displaying the message and pause again while message is displayed. Now
merge pauses correctly, only while the message is displayed.Æ(# Æ
Network/NovellÂ Þ " ÂUsing Network WordPerfect with Novell Netware, WordPerfect would not
allow the user to change a selected form number back to zero. The user had
to exit WordPerfect in order to reset the form number option. Æ(# Æ
OutlineÂ Þ " ÂWhen outlining with a legal numbering style, WordPerfect was placing a
trailing period behind the first level paragraph number. This had a tendency
to corrupt numbers at lower levels. Now, no period is placed behind the first
level paragraph number, only on subsequent levels. Æ(# Æ
Ô ø( ÔSortÂ Þ " ÂSorting a merge file containing graphics would give the error "Divide
Overflow".Æ(# Æ
Paragraph NumberÂ Þ " ÂUser defined paragraph number definitions were displayed incorrectly. ÒT I. A. 1. a.(1)(a) i) a) .1..1 .1 .1 .1 .1 .1..1. T ÒFor
example, if the user set 1,.1.,.1. for the numberingÒT .1..1 .1 .1 .1 .1 .1..1. .1..1 .1 .1 .1 .1 .1..1. T Ò definition, a level three
number would display as 11.1 (instead of 1.1.1.).Æ(# Æ
PasswordÂ Þ " ÂRetrieving and saving encrypted docuemnts could cause screen problems.Æ(# Æ
PrintÂ Þ " ÂThe German Double S (1,23) now is mapped to the substitute character, Greek
Beta (8,3).Æ(# Æ
PrintÂ Þ " ÂHitting cancel after selecting Additional Printers, but before the list was
displayed would sometimes cause improper screen display.Æ(# Æ
PrintÂ Þ " ÂComplex embedded printer command files sent to a PostScript printer would
not print at the proper size. The whole page was mapped and printed to a tiny
region in the lower left corner of the page.Æ(# Æ
PrintÂ Þ " Â"File Creation Error" was given when selecting a printer if the directory for
printer files on the Setup key had been removed from the disk. The message
now reads "Invalid Drive/Path Specification".Æ(# Æ
Print EditÂ Þ " ÂWordPerfect would not edit PRS file properly if it were not in the directory
specified in Location of Auxiliary files. Æ(# Æ
Print/FontÂ Þ " ÂA fixed pitch base font with a smaller pitch substitute font mapped to it would
space incorrectly for any "substituted" or unavailable character.Æ(# Æ
Print Options Â Þ " ÂRequesting printer help while viewing a large list of printers contained in
several .ALL files (Shift©F7,S,<2>Additional,<3>Help) would cause problems
for a printer at the bottom of the list.Æ(# Æ
Print OptionsÂ Þ " ÂIf Location of printer files (Shift©F1,Location<7>,Printer<5>) were changed
to a directory that contained no printer files, the original PRS file was being
erased if the user tried to edit the printer file (Shift©F7,Select,Edit<3>) and
then WordPerfect was exited. Æ(# Æ
Print ViewÂ Þ " ÂViewing a black text box with white text (must be done with a color screen,
Postscript printer definition, and View Document in Black and White) would
not allow the white text to be seen. This has been changed so the text is now
visible.Æ(# Æ
Printer CmdÂ Þ " ÂIf a printer command were place before any printable text on a page, the text
would not print correctly. Printer commands can now be placed anywhere on
the page.Æ(# Æ
PrintingÂ Þ " ÂFixed pitch text in tabbed or spaced columns would not align in print and view
whether justification was on or off. This problem was specific to printers that
can "condense" text on a line in order to justify or that allow text to extend
past the right margin without wrapping it to the next line.Æ(# Æ
PrintingÂ Þ " ÂUsing WordPerfect 4.2 units of measure, the Control Printer screen would
display the form height in pitch (or horizontal units) instead of Lines Per Inch.
A form with a size 60x24 (6"x4") would show as 60x40.Æ(# Æ
Ô ' ÔPrintingÂ Þ " ÂPrinting forms with top and side offsets on Postscript printers would cause text
boxes and figures to print incorrectly. Text boxes would be elongated and
some figures would not show up at all. Æ(# Æ
PrintingÂ Þ " ÂA file with read-only attributes would give an access denied error if printed
with the Print/Document on Disk option (Shft©F7, 3). The read-only file will
now print fine using this option.Æ(# Æ
PrintingÂ Þ " ÂPrinting underlined characters using a Postscript printer would give
unpredictable results if any font changes were encountered (even point size
or style). The underlined portions before and after the change would sometimes
not line up correctly. Superscripted/underlined text would preview correctly,
but print not underlined. Æ(# Æ
PrintingÂ Þ " ÂIf a downloadable softfont cannot be found when printing, Control Printer said
"Press G to continue". Now the message reads "Press G to continue or C to
cancel".Æ(# Æ
PrintingÂ Þ " ÂPrinting documents with multiple attribute codes on one line AND using
second pass printer drivers (e.g. bold or underline require a second pass) could
cause printing to stop and an error "Invalid printer definition string" in printer
control. Æ(# Æ
PrintingÂ Þ " ÂGiving a manual form a "G" for go could cause problems, IF the user had
worked in View document or Figure Edit while the manual print job was
waiting for a go.Æ(# Æ
PrintingÂ Þ " ÂWordPerfect would ask for two Go's if you did a page print of a page that had
a Non©standard paper size/type code at the top.Æ(# Æ
PrintingÂ Þ " ÂIf a user tried to print multiple copies of a single page (other than the last page
of the document) that contained endnotes, only one copy of the page would
print.Æ(# Æ
Redline Â Þ " ÂWhen Redline Method was set to print a character in the margin, a line of text
ending with [redline off]
rid of a space following a redline off code at the end of the line so it will
justify (regardless of the Redline method selected). Æ(# Æ
Repeat ValueÂ Þ " ÂUsing Repeat Value with Delete to End of Page (Ctrl-Pg Dn) was only deleting
one page. Æ(# Æ
Repeat ValueÂ Þ " ÂWhen using ESC to repeat certain extended characters (character numbers 48ª57 of any set) the characters were not inserted but instead added some other
value to the repeat value.Æ(# Æ
RetrieveÂ Þ " ÂCanceling the retrieval of a non©existent file during the second try would leave
that filename on the status line. Æ(# Æ
RetrieveÂ Þ " ÂRetrieving a Dos text file containing ASCII 244, 245, 246, or 254 as a
WordPerfect document, WordPerfect could hang during the document
conversion. Now if such a file is retrieved incorrectly the user will get an
"Incompatible File Format" message.Æ(# Æ
Reveal CodesÂ Þ " ÂIn international versions of 5.0, uppercase extended characters within a code
name were displayed as lowercase in Reveal Codes.Æ(# Æ
Ô @(
ÔSaveÂ Þ " ÂDocument prefixes are now reduced to the smallest necessary size when the
file is saved if Fast Save is off. Before, the prefix was only reduced to the
smallest necessary size (termed "garbage collecting") on retrieval.Æ(# Æ
Select PrinterÂ Þ " ÂThere was some confusion on Print: Select Printer screen when a user retrieved
a document when there were ÃÃNOÄÄ PRS files in the directory WordPerfect was
started from, and no path specified in Setup Locations. The user would get
the message that the PRS was not found, but the name of the PRS was
displayed in the Select Printer screen. To remedy the situation, the user had
to select the printer from the ALL file. Then the Select Printer screen would
show two PRS files with the same name. Before the user could print, he/she
had to delete the PRS name that appeared when the document was retrieved
before WordPerfect would allow the "real" PRS file to be selected.Æ(# Æ
ShadowÂ Þ " ÂPrinters using multiple pass shadowing (HP Laserjet, etc.) were not shadowing
correctly with different point sizes on a line. Smaller text was being printed
with the larger text offset, making the text hard to read. Now each point size
prints with its own shadow offset.Æ(# Æ
SortÂ Þ " ÂA merge sort with field 1, line -1, word -1, would send WordPerfect into an
endless sorting sequence.Æ(# Æ
SortÂ Þ " ÂThe German double s, ÀÀ, sorted incorrectly between the `r' and `s'. It now sorts
between the "s" and "t".Æ(# Æ
SortÂ Þ " ÂÃÃInternational versions onlyÄÄ: WordPerfect was not sorting in the correct order
if a language code was not the first code in Setup Initial Codes.Æ(# Æ
SortÂ Þ " ÂWordPerfect would not sort text contained within any style codes (opened or
paired) correctly.Æ(# Æ
SpellÂ Þ " ÂAdded the words "pharmacopeial", "friedrich", "Judgements", and "Semiotic"
to the dictionary. Deleted the words "friedreich", "agrement", and "develope".Æ(# Æ
SpellÂ Þ " ÂIf the word count in a document were more than 65535, the speller displayed
a value smaller than it really was.Æ(# Æ
SpellÂ Þ " ÂSpeller will not allow a lookup, or detect misspelled words contained in a style
code since WordPerfect will not allow the word to be replaced. To spell check
words in a style code, invoke Spell from within style edit.Æ(# Æ
SpellÂ Þ " ÂWordPerfect was not searching for the main dictionary in the directory
containing WP.EXE if no path were specified in Setup. It only searched the
default directory and the directory specified in Setup.Æ(# Æ
Startup OptionÂ Þ " ÂRunning under shell with expanded memory or using Shell's /V switch,
WordPerfect would use all available memory when loaded (with or without the
/w option). Now WordPerfect will read the /w setting with expanded memory
available or with the Shell's /V switch.Æ(# Æ
StyleÂ Þ " ÂGraphics images are not allowed inside a style. However, one could be inserted
in a style from inside a header or footer. This is now disallowed.Æ(# Æ
StyleÂ Þ " ÂEditing a header, footer, or endnote inside of a style could cause problems.Æ(# Æ
StyleÂ Þ " ÂRetrieving a figure into Style edit could cause problems.Æ(# Æ
Ô @( ÔStyle Â Þ " ÂA style off code that turned redline on would cause problems. If a document
containing this condition were compared to another, any text beyond this point
where the redline was turned on was not being displayed.Æ(# Æ
Style Â Þ " ÂSome cursor movement in large documents (especially Home-Home-Dwn)
containing styles was causing the style codes to become corrupted, often by
inserting two nulls(^@^@). Æ(# Æ
StyleÂ Þ " ÂWhen the number of styles in a list exceeded 21, subsequent changes made to
the styles would not consistently hold after exiting the style screen.Æ(# Æ
SuppressÂ Þ " ÂThe suppress code for "Print Page Number at Bottom Center" was not working
correctly if bottom left or right page numbering had been set. Æ(# Æ
Tab Set Â Þ " ÂText may print in the wrong order if a tab extends almost to the right margin.
Example, "12" may print as "21".Æ(# Æ
Table of Authorities Þ! " ÂRegardless of the answer to the "Allow underlining" question in the ToA
definition, underline was copied from the full form to the Table of
Authorities. Now underlining will be disallowed when specified.Æ(# Æ
Table of Authorities Þ! " ÂMark text for table of authority now places the mark text code at the
beginning of the block of text (as 4.2 did) instead of the end, so that a
reference that spans a page break will be given for the page the citation begins
on instead of the end.Æ(# Æ
Table of Authorities Þ! " ÂShort and Full form codes containing character 0 from any of the character
sets 1-11 in the short form name would not display any name in the code,
although such codes were generated correctly.Æ(# Æ
Tabs Â Þ " ÂLine draw was being displayed improperly around tabs. If text were inserted
before a tab stop, the tab was pushed to the right causing any line draw to
look misaligned. Now the tab does not get pushed to the right until the
inserted text overruns the tab stop.Æ(# Æ
Text/In Â Þ " ÂPrinting text retrieved through the TEXT/IN (Ctrl©F5) function that contained
an ASCII 255 code caused a printing error. ASCII character 255 is now
ignored when an Ascii file is retrieved with TEXT IN. Æ(# Æ
ThesaurusÂ Þ " ÂThesaurus will not allow a lookup of a word contained in a style code since
WordPerfect will not allow the word to be replaced. To use thesaurus on words
in a style code, invoke Thesaurus from within style edit.Æ(# Æ
TUTOR.COMÂ Þ " ÂTutor.Com would have problems in the spell lesson if the dictionary could not
be found. Tutor now reads part of the WordPerfect set file telling it where
the dictionary is found.Æ(# Æ
UnderlineÂ Þ " ÂUnderline, Double underline and Strikeout could be thrown out into left hand
margin on some space fill printer drivers. Now WordPerfect turns off all
attributes before the print head repositions, then turns the attribute back on.Æ(# Æ
Units of Measure Â Þ " ÂSwitching from inches to 4.2 units of measure displayed relative advances
incorrectly in reveal codes. Æ(# Æ
Units of MeasureÂ Þ " ÂUsing 4.2 units ("u"), vertical advance codes were advancing in horizontal units
(pitch) instead of vertical units (lpi). For example, if the current font was .17"Ô @( Ô high and .10" wide, an advance down of "1u" would only advance down .10"
instead of .17".Æ(# Æ
View DocumentÂ Þ " ÂSome footers could display incorrectly in view, although they would print
correctly. Paging up, then down again would display the footers correctly.Æ(# Æ
View DocumentÂ Þ " ÂWhen viewing a font with transitional serifs (i.e. Times Roman, Century
Schoolbook, etc.), capital U and V and lowercase i and j displayed one or two
pixels shorter than other characters in the same point size.Æ(# Æ
View DocumentÂ Þ " ÂText could be inconsistent from one view to the next when viewing font or
attribute codes contained in styles AND if the document were being formatted
for a different printer or font. Text would print the same consistently
regardless of what was seen in View.Æ(# Æ
Widow/OrphanÂ Þ " ÂWith Widow/orphan on, and using parallel columns longer than a page, if a
paragraph ended in the same vertical position on a subsequent page as the
vertical position where columns were turned on, then the page would be ended
prematurely (a soft page would appear).Æ(# Æ
Word SearchÂ Þ " ÂWord Search was not finding words in locked documents named with letters
at the beginning of the alphabet (e.g. Acorn.doc) unlike filenames towards
the end of the alphabet (e.g. Writing.tst).Æ(# Æ
Word SearchÂ Þ " ÂNo notification was given if an incorrect password were used during a word
search when a locked document was encountered. Now the error message "file
is locked" comes up and the word search continues.Æ(# Æ
Word WrapÂ Þ " ÂA line ending with a [HRT] which then turned into a [SPG] would incorrectly
wrap the word just before the [SPG] to the next line.Æ(# Æ
WP{WP}.ENVÂ Þ " ÂIf the WP{WP}.ENV were saved as a WP file rather than a Dos Text File, the
error message "Error: File not found Pitch" would be displayed upon entering
WP. The user would then be put in a blank file named PITCH. Now the error
message "Incompatible file format - WP{WP}.ENV" will be displayed if the
WP{WP}.ENV is saved in WP format.Æ(# Æ
Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
