The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: Occasionally the WP{WPC}.SET file will become damaged. This file contains the customized setting for your WordPerfect DOS program. It also contains the location of the files.

1) Go to the DOS prompt.
2) Type "cd\wp60", press enter
3) Type "Ren wp{wpc}.set wpset.old", press enter
4) Type "wp", press enter

WordPerfect will see that you don't have a .SET file. It will then create a new one using default settings. This means the location of files will not be set up correctly and will need to be edited in order for the program to function properly. To set up the location of files do the following:

1) At the document screen press "SHIFT-F1", (Setup)
2) Press number "5", (Location of files)
3) Press number "2", (Macro/Keyboards/Button bars)
4) Press number "1", (Personal Path). You are then prompted to type a path. It will already show C:\wp60 (or whatever directory WordPerfect is using), go the end of the line and type "\macros". The line should read "C:\wp60\macros", press enter 2 times. You are now back at the location of files screen.
5) Press number "3", (Writing tools)
6) Press number "1", (Main). You can now type "C:\wpc60dos", Press enter twice.
7) Press number "4", (Printer files)
8) Press number "1", (Personal path). This line now reads c:\wp60, you will need to alter the line so it will read "C:\wpc60dos", Press enter twice.
9) Press number "5", (Style Files)
10) Press number "1", (Directory for Personal Libraries). This should read "C:\wp60", Press enter twice.
11) Press number "6", (Graphics Files)
12) Press number "1", (Personal Path). This now reads C:\wp60, go to the end of the line and type "\graphics". The line should read "C:\wp60\graphics", press enter twice.
13) Press number "7" (Documents). This line should read "c:\wpdocs". Press enter once.
14) Press letter "R", (WP DRS files). This line should read "C:\wpc60dos". Press enter once.
15) Press Letter "F", (Graphic Fonts data files). This puts you in to a sub menu. The cursor is highlighting Bitstream Speedo, Press enter. You are now ready to type a path. Type "C:\btfonts", Press enter. Press the down arrow 3 times. You will now be highlighting "Type 1". Press enter. Type "c:\psfonts", Press enter.
16) Press F7 three times. You are back to the WordPerfect document screen.

The location of files is now set up. Next the user needs to select the printer driver.

17) Press Shift F7, (Print menu)
18) Press the letter "S", (Select)
19) No printers will be listed. Press number "8" (List .prs) This puts you in a dialog box where a list of printer drivers which were installed in the past will be listed.

20) Highlight the .PRS file which corresponds with your printer. Press "1" to select it.
A) A dialog will come up showing information about the printer. Press F7.
B) A second dialog will come up. This dialog is entitled, "Edit printer setup".

* If you want the default settings for your port and fonts skip section C.

C) If you need to change the port location do it now. The normal port location is lpt1. If you want to change the initial base font the program runs in, please do it now. You can do this by pressing number "6", (font setup) and then in the sub menu choose number "1", (Select Initial Font). Press number "1", (font). Choose the name of the font you want. Number "4" (All new documents) should have a dot in the box. Press enter on the "OK" button. Press enter on the "OK" button again. You are now back out at the "edit printer setup" screen again.

21) Press F7 to exit the "Edit Printer Setup" screen.
22) You are now on the "Select Printer" screen, Highlight your printer and press number "1".

If you had more than one printer you can repeat step 19 and 20 until you have all of them back.

23) Press F7 once, this will return you to the document screen.
