Áàì(Áà ÃÃÃDescription of ChangesƒÄÄÄ Ä


à ÃAuto ReferenceÄ ÄÂDP
ÂAuto Referencing a paragraph that used Bullets as the paragraph numbering
style could cause the reference to display incorrectly.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃAuto ReferenceÄ ÄÂDP
ÂIf a comment or Auto Reference target followed a graphics box that filled the
rest of the page, the comment or target could be bumped to the next page
causing the reference to be off.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃAuto ReferenceÄ ÄÂDP
ÂInserting targets into figure captions, when marking both reference and target,
could cause WP to exit without marking the target.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃAuto ReferenceÄ ÄÂDP
ÂWhen creating auto references, both reference and target, the prompt now
reads "Move to page; Press enter" instead of "Press enter to select page".ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃAuto ReferenceÄ ÄÂDP
ÂWhen referencing a paragraph that started at a level other than Level 1 (i.e.
skipped the I. and started with A.), the reference had leading periods for nonªexistent levels.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃBlockÄ ÄÂD P
ÂBlocking and bolding text (some of which was already bolded) from right to left
could cause the cursor to move one character to the right.ÆÌ$P
Æ
à ÃÄ Ä
à ÃCancelÄ ÄÂD
P
ÂTrying to cancel out of "Go To" caused a beep.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃCenterÄ ÄÂD
P
ÂCentering a line of existing text could end the line prematurely (wrapping the
rest of the line down).ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃCHARACTR.DOCÄ ÄÂDP
ÂNew Greek characters were added.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃColumnsÄ ÄÂDP
ÂAdding text to the bottom of a parallel column that is off the right side of the
screen so that it wraps to the next page, could mess up the screen display.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃColumnsÂDP
ÂÄ ÄIf text was inserted in front of a Column On code that has not been formatted
yet (rewritten on the screen), the text was not displayed until the cursor
passed the end of the line. ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃColumnsÄ ÄÂDP
ÂUsing the Escape repeat value and Go To to block Parallel columns with Block
Protect, the requested columns may not have been included entirely in the
block.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃDateÄ ÄÂD P
ÂDisplay of Date Code and Date Text could be different (when it should not be)
if the date format contained the time (12 or 24 hour clock).ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃDateÄ ÄÂD P
ÂÃ ÃÄ ÄExtended characters in the date code could display incorrectly.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃDeleteÄ ÄÂD
P
ÂWhen deleting a Table of Authorities mark that contained more than one line
of text (e.g., a maximum size full form) and WP asked for a confirm for deletion
(when Reveal Codes not active), the screen would sometimes scroll.ÆÌ$P
ÆÔ 0*Ԍ
à ÃDisplay PitchÄ ÄÂDP
ÂChanging the display pitch in the document was not considered a modification
to the document. WP did not prompt the user that text was modified when
saving the document.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃDisplay PitchÄ ÄÂDP
ÂIf display pitch was changed inside a graphics box or footnote, the display
pitch would not be reset to the original value when exited back to the main
document. WP now allows display pitch values inside boxes and footnotes to
be different than that in the main document. (Enhancement)ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃDocument CompareÂDP
ÂÄ ÄWhen performing a Document Compare, if hyphenation were on or were turned
on inside one of the documents being compared, WP could give an "Out of
Memory" error. Now, hyphenation is turned off during document compare.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃError HandlingÄ ÄÂDP
ÂDOS Errors could require pressing cancel twice to cancel the operation.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃError HandlingÄ ÄÂDP
ÂError 258 message now reads "Can't find WP.FIL file." ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃError HandlingÄ ÄÂDP
ÂSorting to a full disk returned "Error: Can't read sort data". Now WP returns
"Disk Full".ÆÌ$P
Æ
à Ã
Align CharacterÄ ÄÂDP
ÂWP did not allow the changing of an align character while in a graphics box.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃExpanded MemoryÄ ÄÂDP
ÂThe number of expanded memory handles used by WP was increased to 24.
However, if running under Shell with expanded memory, WP's expanded memory
handles are reset to 8. Also, WP allocates all available memory to itself
(instead of the previous 93k limit) if running under Shell with /V switch. (/V
causes Shell to swap resident programs either to expanded memory or to disk.)ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃFootnotesÄ ÄÂDP
ÂDivide overflow error message was sometimes displayed when two footnotes
occurred on the same line, the second having more than one page of text AND
using characters as the numbering method.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃFootnotesÄ ÄÂDP
ÂFootnotes were not being displayed properly in reveal codes when extended
characters were used for the numbering method.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃFormsÄ ÄÂD P
ÂForms have been given a tolerance of .01" so the form the customer selects can
be slightly different than the one defined on the print key and still be found
by the program. Example: If a user defined a form in centimeters which
converts to 8.296", then tried to select it as 8.29", WP will now find the 8.29"
form.ÆÌ$P
Æ
à Ã
GenerateÄ ÄÂDP
ÂConcordance files were looked for on different directories during generate.
WP now looks in the default directory for the concordance file.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃGenerateÄ Äà ÃÄ ÄÂDP
ÂGenerate would not handle certain codes (i.e., Indent, Center, Align) in the
long form of Table of Authorities correctly.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃGenerateÄ ÄÂDP
ÂText boxes, with captions that contained multiple functions, could be a
different size after generating.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃGenerateÄ ÄÂDP
ÂWhen Generating Table of Authorities and/or Indexes, entries are sorted
according to the language in effect at the Defmark. (Enhancement)ÆÌ$P
Æ
à Ã
Ô 0*ԌGRAPHCNV.EXEÄ ÄÂDP
ÂAdded /O and /L switches. O/ overrides pauses for user prompts. (allows
graphcnv.exe to run in unattended mode). /L writes a conversion status
message for each converted file. (To the printer or to a file.) These new
startup switches were also added to the help screens. (Enhancement)ÆÌ$P
Æ
à ÃÄ Äà ÃÄ Ä
à ÃGRAPHCNV.EXEÄ ÄÂDP
ÂAdded capability to specify "*" for the input file name for converting all files
with a specified extension. (Enhancement)ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃGraphicsÄ ÄÂDP
ÂA full page text box could not hold as much information as the normal page.
Now it can. (ENH)ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃGraphicsÄ ÄÂDP
ÂA paragraph box with "Wrap text" set to "No", no longer bumps to the next
page, but prints as much of the box as will fit on the page.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃGraphicsÄ ÄÂDP
ÂAdded mnemonics to Figure Edit menu. (Enhancement)ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃGraphicsÄ ÄÂDP
ÂAdded capability to put block protect codes around a box and accompanying
text so that if the box would have been bumped to the next page, both box and
text will instead be wrapped (soft page inserted). (Enhancement)ÆÌ$P
Æ
à Ã
GraphicsÄ ÄÂDP
ÂWhen Character type boxes taking up the full margins, were wrapped down to
the next line, the last word of the line above would be wrapped down too.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃGraphicsÄ ÄÂDP
ÂGraphics boxes that were bumped to the next page had the possibility of
overwriting another graphic at the top of that page. WP now places "bumped"
graphics one below the other. (Enhancement)ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃGraphicsÄ ÄÂDP
ÂGraphics boxes "bumped" down from the last page of a document could cause
text from the last page to be overwritten again in the Facing Pages mode of
View document and could cause headers and footers defined on the last page
not to appear. Or if they did appear, often the page numbering was incorrect
on the new last page.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃÄ Äà ÃGraphicsÄ ÄÂDP
ÂIf WP could not find the WP.DRS file when printing a graphic with graphics text
(.PIC or .CGM files), ÆÌ$P
Æ
à Ã
GraphicsÄ ÄÂDP
ÂIf no figure options code were found in the document, the default captions
"Figure #" and "Table #" were not printing out with the capital letters.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃÄ Äà ÃGraphicsÄ ÄÂDP
ÂFixed problems importing EPS (Postscript only) graphics files (from programs
such as ChemText and Quattro). Now the message "Graphics contains data for
postscript printers only" is displayed in View for EPS graphics files when using
a non©Post©script printer. Also, printing EPS files on non Post©script printers
will prompt with the message "Ignore graphics text".ÆÌ$P
Æ
à ÃÄ Äà ÃÄ Ä
à ÃGraphicsÄ ÄÂDP
ÂIn Graphics Edit, scaling up or moving bitmapped images to the left could cause
incorrect display.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃGraphicsÄ ÄÂDP
ÂInserting a Paragraph type graphics box between a Style ON code and a [Hrt]
could cause the box not to be inserted.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃGraphicsÄ ÄÂDP
ÂRefined conversion of HPGL graphics files. Also added scaling support for
HPGL files that use SC and IP commands.ÆÌ$P
Æ
à ÃÄ Ä
Ô 0*Ԍà ÃGraphicsÄ ÄÂDP
ÂNew Figure # Function, specifying a number greater than 1023 could cause
wrong numbers to be assigned to the figures. The maximum number now is
2047.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃGraphicsÄ ÄÂDP
ÂPC Paintbrush version 2.8 files were not being converted properly. Displayed
incorrectly in figure edit and view document.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃGraphicsÄ ÄÂDP
ÂSome CGM graphics files would not display when brought into WP.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃGraphicsÄ ÄÂDP
ÂSome graphics would not display correctly because WP was not looking for
WPSMALL.DRS when the WP.DRS file was not found. Also, when printing
graphics with graphics text (.PIC or .CGM files) WP would return error message
"not enough memory for printing graphics" in printer control, instead of the
correct message "can't find WP.DRS file". This problem primarily affected 2
floppy drive systems. ÆÌ$P
Æ
à Ã
GraphicsÄ ÄÂDP
ÂWhen a Graphics box containing a graphics image (that had been moved in
figure edit) was bumped to the next page, the figure could shift from left to
right in the box each time it was printed or viewed.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃGraphicsÄ ÄÂDP
ÂWP did not allow changing the align character while inside graphics boxes.ÆÌ$P
Æ
à ÃÄ Äà ÃÄ Ä
à ÃHeaderÄ ÄÂD
P
ÂA header containing a graphics box or line would not account for a change in
the top margin on subsequent pages. Header viewed and printed according to
the original top margin.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃHeadersÄ ÄÂDP
ÂIf a document was made up of parallel columns and had a footer or page
numbers at the bottom of each page, and a page suppress was used on the first
page, the last page would not print the footer or page number.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃHelpÄ ÄÂD P
ÂInternational language versions will request a license number when the
program is initially started up. This license number will then be displayed on
the initial help screen next to program date.ÆÌ$P
Æ
à Ã
Hyphen.exeÄ ÄÂDP
ÂAdded option to add words to the hyphen exception dictionary (.hyd) that
SHOULD NOT be hyphenated. Codes are now stripped out when adding words
from a file. ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃHyphen.exeÄ ÄÂDP
ÂHard Hyphens [©] (hyphen key) were not handled correctly when added to the
exception dictionary. (Words containing [©] were truncated.) ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃHyphenationÄ ÄÂDP
ÂHyphenation is now turned off if no modules were found during hyphenation.
(Previously set to manual.)ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃHyphenationÄ ÄÂDP
ÂIf a tab were deleted, then restored, immediately following an end©flushªright©code [C/A/Flrt], the user would be prompted to hyphenate, but no word
would be displayed to hyphenate. ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃHyphenationÄ ÄÂDP
ÂPressing the space bar would cancel a manual hyphenation request. A word
which ended both a line and a sentence and needed to be hyphenated would
be wrapped to the next line if the user were typing quickly and pressed a space
bar after being asked to hyphenate.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃHyphenationÄ ÄÂDP
ÂThe WP{WP}EN.HYD (hyphenation exception dictionary) was not being found
if the user had WP{WP}US.HYC and WP{WP}US.HYL files.ÆÌ$P
ÆÔ 0*Ԍ
à ÃHyphenationÄ ÄÂDP
ÂThe hyphenation exception dictionary was being deleted from cache memory
at times. When hyphenation is necessary, the .HYC and .HYD files are read into
memory. The .HYD was being incorrectly deleted.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃHyphenationÄ ÄÂDP
ÂThe hyphenation zone could be set so small that only one character would fit
in it. This happens if the percentage for the hyphenation zone is small and
the user is in narrow columns. This did not leave much choice for positioning
the hyphen. Now, if there is only room for one character, WP will make room
for two.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃHyphenationÄ ÄÂDP
ÂThe exit key (F7) would not temporarily disable hyphenation if a user were
formatting (home home down, or something similar) through a narrow column
of words which extended from margin to margin. Now WP will not prompt the
user until the current process is finished.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃHyphenationÄ ÄÂDP
ÂWP was requesting hyphenation of words too small to be hyphenated. Now, if
auto-hyphenation is on, and the word to be hyphenated is five characters or
less, and the word does not extend across margins (as in the case of narrow
columns), the word will be wrapped to the next line. A hyphen cancel will be
inserted in front of the word.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃIndentÄ ÄÂD
P
ÂWhen typing an Indent, followed by text until the line wrapped, then inserting
a flush right, text displayed incorrectly.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃStylesÄ ÄÂD
P
ÂStyles name buffer was changed to handle extended characters.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃInitial CodesÄ ÄÂDP
ÂEntering Setup or Document Initial codes at the bottom of a document could
delete base font changes.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃInitial CodesÄ ÄÂDP
ÂWhen going into Initial codes (both in setup and document) the cursor is now
positioned after the current function codes. (Enhancement)ÆÌ$P
Æ
à Ã
INSTALL.EXEÄ ÄÂDP
ÂAfter exiting INSTALL.EXE, the cursor would disappear from the screen until
a CLS (or anything that restored the screen) was typed. This happened on very
few systems.ÆÌ$P
Æ
à ÃÄ Ä
à ÃKeyboard LayoutÄ ÄÂDP
ÂAdded an ALT©R macro to the MACROS keyboard definition that replaces one
AFC with another. (ie. bold to italic, fine to very large, etc.)ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃKeyboard LayoutÂDP
ÂÄ ÄFONT macro on Ctrl©F8 in MACROS keyboard will now work with variable size
fonts. (Enhancement)ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃKeyboard LayoutÄ ÄÂDP
ÂIn Keyboard Layout, both Rename and Create were not handling extended
characters correctly. WP will now accept 8 characters, whether they are ascii
characters (those contained in character set 0) or extended (all other
characters).ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃKeyboard LayoutÄ ÄÂDP
ÂSaving a macro and retrieving it to a key as part of a KEYBOARD definition
could lose the description.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃKeyboard LayoutÂDP
ÂÄ ÄThe ALT©C macro in the MACROS keyboard (changes the first letter of a word
to upper case) did not work if the word had codes immediately in front of it.
(Enhancement)ÆÌ$P
Æ
Ô 0*Ԍà Ã
Line DrawÄ ÄÂDP
ÂIf a PS base font is being used, no line draw Auto Font Changes (AFC) will be
made. User can either select a Line Draw font or a mono©spaced font that does
have a Line Draw AFC, in order to print correctly.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃLine NumberingÄ ÄÂDP
ÂIf a document had a header followed by a line numbering function which was
set not to number blank lines, the line numbers printed could be off by one.
(e.g., actual line number 1 was labeled 0.)ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃLineÄ Ä Ã ÃDrawÄ ÄÂDP
ÂInserting a left/right margin function at any position other than the beginning
of a line could cause a hard return [Hrt] to be inserted and the screen to scroll
down one line, losing part of the display.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃLine DrawÄ ÄÂDP
ÂLine Draw was ending one character too early at the right margin.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃLine DrawÄ ÄÂDP
ÂLine draw characters now touch vertically in View Document for non©PS fonts.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃÄ Äà ÃLine HeightÄ ÄÂDP
ÂLine height changes now take affect at the end of the line on which the change
is seen. This makes the printer output match the screen in View document.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃÄ Äà ÃLine SpacingÄ ÄÂDP
ÂPressing Enter from the line spacing menu (when the cursor was at the current
value for line spacing) did not cause a line spacing code to be inserted into
the document.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃLine NumberingÄ ÄÂDP
ÂTurning Line Numbering on and then deleting the function, could leave line
numbering on.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃList FilesÄ ÄÂDP
ÂDoing a Look on a DOS text file with characters above decimal 128 could cause
bolding and underlining to appear.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃList FilesÄ ÄÂDP
ÂName search would not find a filename that included ascii values less than 46
(ie. © , + * !, etc).ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃList FilesÄ ÄÂDP
ÂScreen now rewrites immediately after renaming, copying or deleting files.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃMacro DefineÄ ÄÂDP
ÂWhen editing a macro, pressing the exit key (F7) in the macro commands
window (Ctrl©PgUp) now exits the window, instead of inserting the highlighted
command. (Enhancement)ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃMACRODOC.EXEÄ ÄÂDP
ÂNew Advanced Macros documentation has been added to the learning diskette.
MACRODOC.EXE is a self©expanding file. Type à ÃMACRODOCÄ Ä at a DOS prompt and
a DOS text file is created called à ÃMACRODOC.TXTÄ Ä. This file can be retrieved
into WP5.0 or typed at DOS. (e.g., TYPE MACRODOC.TXT) ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃMargins L/RÂDP
ÂÄ ÄIf text was inserted in front of a left/right margin set that has not been
formatted yet (rewritten on the screen), the text was not displayed until the
cursor passed the end of the line. ÆÌ$P
ÆÔ ð#Ô Ã ÃMergeÄ ÄÂD P
ÂExtended chars were not inserted correctly into field names (^Fname^) when
selecting merge F.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃMergeÄ ÄÂD P
ÂFunctions found between ^O's will no longer end the merge but will be ignored.
Also, invalid 5.0 merge files (ie. macros, keyboard file, etc) are detected and
disallowed.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃMergeÄ ÄÂD P
ÂMerge now allows secondary merge files in 4.2 format. ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃMoveÄ ÄÂD P
ÂDuring a Block move, if List Files was invoked and the default directory
changed using the "=", the "Move cursor; press Enter to retrieve." prompt
would disappear.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃOutlineÄ ÄÂDP
ÂFirst level paragraph numbers were being changed to the second level if a
space were inserted before the number. The level now remains the same until
the next tab stop, as it should.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃOutlineÄ ÄÂDP
ÂNo outline number was inserted if a line of text ending in a hard return
extended into the H©zone and the last word went through hyphenation and was
wrapped to the next line.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃOutlineÄ ÄÂDP
ÂOutline was changing the appearance of auto reference text. (Leading periods
and place holders were displayed incorrectly.)ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃOutlineÄ ÄÂDP
ÂWhen entering text in text boxes, notes, or Headers/footers, Outline numbering
remained on (should have turned off). Turning Outline numbering on inside
these structures would leave Outline On from that point on in the document.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃPaper Size/TypeÄ ÄÂDP
ÂA document would not reformat correctly when changing from a very narrow
form (3"x 3") to a very wide form (50"x 50"). Text would stay wrapped for the
narrow form.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃPaper Size/TypeÄ ÄÂDP
ÂРŐ3Ø'3Ø'Standard3Ø'Ä ÃÍÄÄ"Tv3Ø'° P5/P6/P7NEPINP5.PRS¹vÅ ÐРŐ3Ø'Ä ÃÍÄÄ"Tv3Ø'° P5/P6/P7NEPINP5.PRS3Ø'Ä ÃÍÄÄ"Tv3Ø'° P5/P6/P7NEPINP5.PRS¹vÅ ÐРŐ3Ø'Ä ÃÍÄÄ"Tv3Ø'° P5/P6/P7NEPINP5.PRS3Ø'Ä ÃÍÄÄ"Tv3Ø'° P5/P6/P7NEPINP5.PRS¹vÅ ÐThe baseline menu on the Defined Form Types screen was not being cleared
before the prompt "Other form type".ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃPaper Size/TypeÂDP
ÂÄ ÄUsing an "Other" Paper Type longer than 27 characters could give the message
"Internal Printing Error".ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃPaper Size/TypeÄ ÄÂDP
ÂWhen typing on forms wider than about 28", the cursor could display one (1)
character too far to the right of where it should be. The status line was
correct, but the display was wrong.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃPrint OptionsÄ Ä ÂDP
ÂChanging the text or graphics quality from medium to something else was not
re©displaying the menu correctly. ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃPrintÄ ÄÂD P
ÂFixed a problem with absolute position printer drivers where text that
followed a graphics box which was immediately preceded by a SIZE attribute
endgate, would overprint itself.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃPrintÄ ÄÂD P
ÂFixed problem with all printers that have a Maximum Vertical Motion units set
to 0, giving extra line feeds at the end of print job. ÆÌ$P
Æ
à ÃPrintÄ ÄÂD P
ÂFor daisy wheel printers, the automatic font changes WP selected were not the
best. It now always looks for a 10 pitch mono©spaced font.ÆÌ$P
Æ

Ô 0*Ԍà ÃPrintÄ ÄÂD P
ÂForeign Language Packages©©Changed default form to be the standard paper
size for the appropriate country/language. (i.e., European language packages
will have the default paper size A4.)ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃPrintÄ ÄÂD P
ÂHeight/Width/Size were made more important in selecting the best fit font.
(This is shows up when a user prints a document from disk to a printer other
than which the document was formatted.) (Enhancement)ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃPrintÄ ÄÂD P
ÂIf an error was encountered while printing a line where second pass attributes
were being used, the program could hang.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃPrintÄ ÄÂD P
ÂIf neither an n©dash or an m©dash is available, an ASCII hyphen will now be
substituted for the character, instead of a space for printing.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃPrintÄ ÄÂD P
ÂIn Printer Control, an imbedded printer command was being ignored if it was
at the top of a page and a page print was requested. This can now be
remedied by preceding the code with a space followed by a left margin release
(Shift©Tab). (ie. Ã Ã[Space][Left Margin Release][Printer Command]Ä Ä).ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃPrintÄ ÄÂD P
ÂLine separating text and footnotes was ignoring the specified binding width.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃPrintÄ ÄÂD P
ÂMany printers using Manual feed would not print the last line of text on each
page until after the user was prompted for the next sheet of paper.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃPrintÄ ÄÂD P
ÂMargins printed incorrectly for pages that contained a text box that was
rotated 90 degrees (printed in a landscape font). Also affected rotated text
inside a text box on a landscape form.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃPrint OptionsÄ Ä ÂDP
ÂMultiple copies of documents would print with incorrect horizontal/vertical
positions on the first line of each copy except for the first.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃPrintÄ ÄÂD P
ÂOn PostScript printers, an orientation change from portrait on one page to
landscape on the next page could cause the text on the landscape page to
disappear (it was printing off the paper).ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃPrintÄ ÄÂD P
ÂOverstrike characters and diacriticals would print incorrectly if right
justification added alot of space between characters in order to justify the
line. ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃPrint Options Ä ÄÂDP
ÂPrint Quality for a file in document one was sometimes changed to the same
print quality as a file retrieved into the document two screen.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃPrintÄ ÄÂD P
ÂPrinting graphics with relative motion printer drivers (ie. QuadRam
QuadLaser) is now supported.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃPrint/columnsÄ ÄÂDP
ÂPrinting multiple copies (about 100) of a document ending in parallel columns
with no column off code could result in "Error: not enough memory to print
columns."ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃPrintÄ ÄÂD P
ÂSelect Printers. Copying a printer file onto itself using the copy command on
the print key could cause the message "Invalid printer error". ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃPrintÄ ÄÂD P
ÂSpeeded up updating fonts when selecting a printer. (Enhancement)ÆÌ$P
Æ

Ô 0*Ԍà ÃPrintÄ ÄÂD P
ÂText preceding a Double Underline code [DUND] could also be double
underlined when printed.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃPrintÄ ÄÂD P
ÂUnder SHELL, going into cartridges and fonts would sometimes get a "notРŐ3Ø'Ä ÃÍÄÄ"Tv3Ø'° P5/P6/P7NEPINP5.PRS3Ø'IIa@^| &¢ ¾ÿÿ"3Ø'° P5/P6/P7NEPINP5.PRS¹vÅ Ð
enough memory" error message. WP now handles memory better when printer
information is edited. (Users may still run out of memory when editing printer
information. If running under Shell, they can increase their work©space with
the /w option.)ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃPrintÄ ÄÂD P
ÂWith WP 4.2 units selected as the unit of measure, when adding a form on the
print key and selecting "other" for size, the length was being displayed in
horizontal units (pitch) instead of in lines per inch.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃPrintÄ ÄÂD P
ÂWP now supports graphics on the Xerox 4045 printer.ÆÌ$P
Æ

ÂCRS file: Changes were made to the .CRS file to fix problems converting
Extended chars to standard ascii chars (using the "CH=" option). A
"BC=[CODES][Hrt]" option was added to .CRS to allow users to convert 4.2
default settings to their 5.0 documents. Codes following the "BC=" option are
inserted at the beginning of the 5.0 file as long as the file is retrieved to an
empty screen. (Enhancement)ÆÌ$P

ÂNumbers with decimals were not sorting correctly in a numeric BLOCK sort.ÆÌ$P
Æ

à ÃSortÄ ÄÂD P
ÂSort did not allow the user to sort two lists in a document according to
different sorting sequences (i.e., US/European, Danish, Icelandic, etc.) Now
this can be done using a block sort. All sorts done using the block key will
sort according to the language in effect at the top of the block. All sorts done
without block will sort according to the document language code (found in the
Document Initial Codes; if none exists, US is assumed.) Also, the Sort
Sequence option on the Sort menu was removed. (Enhancement)ÆÌ$P

ÂSpell check was not handling notes longer than one page correctly. When doing
a page spell check on a page with a note that was longer than one page, WP
would go to the end of the page for the note and end the spell check because
it had done a page.ÆÌ$P

    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/
