DocumentID: 647248

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

Problem

Symptoms: The method of redline on the NEC Pinwriter P6 changed from shaded background (5.0) to dotted underline now in 5.1. They don't like the underline because they can't see it as well. Is there a work around for them? They converted their 5.0 driver for now but that limits them on small caps and a few other options. Solutions: The customer could text out the information in the 5.0 PRS file (use Ctrl-F5 from the command window under auto redline option). Text out redline on and redline off codes and retrieve them into the 5.1 PRS file (using Ctrl-F5 again) and then mark the auto redline feature as it was marked in 5.0. To accomplish this:

In 5.0:
      1.      Type PTR at a DOS prompt
      2.      Press Shift-F10 to retrieve the .ALL file
      3.      Highlight the printer and Enter
      4.      Highlight Redline and Enter twice
      5.      Highlight Auto Redline On and Enter
      6.      Press Ctrl-F5, 2 for Text Out
      7.      Type in a filename
      8.      Highlight Auto Redline Off and Enter
      9.      Repeat steps 6 and 7
      10.      Exit PTR
      11.      Enter 5.1 PTR
      12.      Repeat steps 2 and 3
      13.      Highlight Attribute Methods and Enter
      14.      Highlight Redline and Enter
      15.      Highlight Auto Redline on Same Pass and Enter
      16.      Highlight Auto Redline On and Enter
      17.      Press Alt-F9 for Printer Definition Integer Variables
      18.      Choose 1 for Add and type "cnt" (not quote marks)
      19.      For the value type 0
      20.      Choose 1 for Add, press Ctrl-Enter
      21.      Type "xbeg"
      22.      Repeat step 20
      23.      Type "xend"
      24.      Make sure the values for xbeg and xend are 0 also
      25.      Press F7
      26.      Press Ctrl-F5, Choose 1 for Input
      27.      Type in filename for Auto On codes
      28.      Press Down Arrow
      29.      Repeat step 26
      30.      Type in filename for Auto Off codes
      31.      Press F7
      32.      Press the '*' on Auto Redline On Same Pass
      33.      Exit and Save--update printer in WP.

This was changed since the order of the attributes has changed for 5.1 and it was causing many conflicts when redline was mixed with other attributes. The second pass attributes are not sorted like super and subscript and graphics.
