The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: Leading and fonts have been changed in 5.1. No additional leading has being added to fixed pitch fonts. Proportional spaced fonts will have two extra points of leading added regardless of the point size. This is going to do a couple of things. First, this leading will be added by the .EXE file, so it is not evident in the .PRS file where it is coming from. Second, if a document is converted from 5.0 to 5.1, the user is going to lose one to two lines per page if they used a PS font.

In the section on Compatibility in the reference manual, it is mentioned that the user can change the primary and secondary leading settings to negative two points. (Shift-F8, 4, 6, 6, type -2p for both the primary and secondary type and press Enter.) This change should make documents appear just as they did in 5.0. This is going to be a very common call for all groups. It was found that this format change made for a better looking document.
