WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The equal sign prints as a solid block in an Equation box, even when the Print Graphics Option is set to No. Solutions: The DRS character for the equal (=) sign was changed in the 01/19/90 interim release of the program. (Please refer to DRS Characters in the 01/19/90 Software Change Notice).

However, in the Equation Editor, if you set Print As Graphics to No, characters may still print graphically if they are not mapped in the specified set. You will still have a problem unless you set Graphics Quality to Do Not Print.

Instead of pulling these characters from Character Set 0, the program uses the equal sign and plus characters from Character Set 6. If the Automatic Font Changes (AFCs) and Substitute Fonts for this Character Set do not include the plus and equals signs, then the character will be printed graphically unless you change Graphics Quality to Do Not Print.

Another option the customer may choose is to use the "literal" sign (\) prior to characters like the plus and equals that the user wants printed from the ASCII Character Set. If the customer chooses this option, the equation would look like a~\+~b~\=c. This causes the plus and equals to be treated literally instead of trying to use the mappings in Character Set 6. Thus, they will print just like the signs in the text.
