WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS
Problem
DATE: February 23, 1994 PRODUCT: WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS (02/14/94 6.0b) SUBJECT: WordPerfect 6.0 -- Software Change Notice / Enhancements -- 02/14/94 (6.0b) Generate After generating, WordPerfect would not release all of the memory used. After generating multiple times in a WordPerfect session, there could be a noticeable decrease in speed in large documents. (#46343) Generate If a mark for a Table of Authorities or an Index was bumped to the next page because of Widow/Orphan, WordPerfect would generate the original page number instead of the current page number. (#46275) Generate When typing text in the Mark Cross Reference, Mark Cross Reference Target, or Mark Both Reference and Target dialogs, then pressing F5 to list existing names and receiving an error, the text was deleted from the entry well when the dialog was cleared. (#45074) Generate WordPerfect wouldn't recognize text marked in a nested subdocument when generating unless the subdocument was expanded. (#46255) Go to DOS Enhancement: When running without Shell, the "DOS Command" entry field has been extended from 60 characters to now allow 120 characters. (#44030) Go To Shell Enhancement: When running under Shell 4.0 the "DOS Command" entry field has been expanded from 27 characters to now allow 120 characters. (#41948) Grammatik After grammar checking a WordPerfect document and retrieving that file into WPWin 6.0, a General Protection Fault error could be generated. (#48682) Grammatik Grammatik was displaying characters when files in RTF format were checked because Grammatik could not display the ANSI characters used by that format. Grammatik now uses the ASCII equivalents of the characters when reading RTF files. (#41828) Grammatik Grammatik did not create standalone .INI and .HST files when /U-xxxxx was present in the WP or WPC environment variables and WordPerfect was being run on a network. Grammatik now determines a network user by the /NT switch. (#43680) Grammatik Grammatik could not be disabled, even when the correct code had been inserted. (#46220) Grammatik Grammatik would ignore all text in a document after a footnote or endnote. (#47354) Grammatik Grammatik ON/OFF codes that had just been deleted (and were still in the Undo buffer) were not being ignored. (#47355) Grammatik Grammatik was not checking hidden text when Show All Hidden Text was selected. (#47357) Grammatik Grammatik would stop checking the document as soon as it encountered a Counter Increment or Display code. (#48019) Grammatik If you saved a block of text to a file from WordPerfect 6.0 for Windows and then opened that file directly into Grammatik, it would either report no errors or display extended characters. This problem did not occur when you launched the document from WordPerfect for DOS. (#48021) Graphics Captions that had their size set to Automatic and had Full or Full All justified text in the caption would display in Page and Graphics Modes missing some of the text on the right side of the caption. (#43779) Graphics Changing the contents of the box from Image to Image on Disk would not work if the box contained a non-WPG2.0 image and you chose to save the image in a non-WordPerfect format. An invalid error would display and the contents selection would remain as Image instead of changing to Image on Disk. Now the contents of the box will correctly change to Image on Disk. (#45081) Graphics If a binding width was defined for a document that contained logical pages, part of the text would not display in Page mode when Zoom was set to Full Page. (#42835) Graphics In some cases scrolling through the document would cause graphics images in Headers to be displayed in the wrong position in Page mode. (#36737) Graphics Some files with compound polygons would return an "Invalid Graphics File Format" error when viewed in Image Editor. (#42457) Graphics Text in .WPG images from WordPerfect Presentations imported incorrectly. If the text was created as a text window object in WP Presentations, and more text was entered than would fit, WordPerfect was not clipping the text correctly at the edge of the text window. (#43402) Graphics The Offset From Position entry field was not grayed when the horizontal position for a box attached to a paragraph or page was changed to Set. (#43396) Graphics Typing on a line that contained larger fonts or character boxes after the cursor could appear to leave parts of the text or boxes behind. (#38064) Graphics Boxes Borders that have graphic boxes with Text Flow set to Through Box were obscuring the graphics image. (#44180) Graphics Boxes Deleting the contents of a text or equation box by deleting the filename would damage the document that contained the text or equation box. (#47453) Graphics Boxes Graphic boxes set to wrap Through Box or On Neither Side were affected by boxes that reformatted the document because the box itself appeared above the box code location. (#47474) Graphics Boxes If an image was brought into a graphic box with the height and width both set to Auto and one of the image's original dimensions was too big to fit on the page, the box would be sized incorrectly and extra white space would display to the side of the image. (#40641) Graphics Boxes If a graphics box was positioned to fill the full width of the page, pressing Up would position the cursor next to the box. The cursor is now moved from the bottom of the box to the top when pressing up. (#43733) Graphics Boxes If the 256th box defined in the document was attached to a character position the box would not print. (#43564) Graphics Boxes In documents converted from WordPerfect 5.x, editing the fill of a box style for a graphics image wasn't affecting the display of subsequent graphics boxes with the same style. Now, editing the fill style of a graphics box will affect all graphics images with the same style. (#45697) Graphics Conversions .DXF files that have polylines with bulge factors would lock during conversion. Polylines with bulge factors are now checked for and handled correctly. (#40825) Graphics Conversions Contoured text on arcs were not converting correctly from WordPerfect Presentations 2.0. (#43389) Graphics Conversions Converting HPGL files with arcs would cause WordPerfect to lock. (#44773) Graphics Conversions Displaying a CGM file with right- or center- justified text would either cause WordPerfect to lock or the text would be cut off. (#45381) Graphics Conversions Hidden graphics boxes in a table would generate the error "Invalid graphic file format" on conversion to 6.0 format. These boxes are now dropped during conversion. (#43822) Graphics Conversions An HPGL file would not display if several variables were not set during conversion. (#45400) Graphics Conversions Some .PCX images would return an error in WordPerfect stating that the "Image viewport/extents exceed 27" even when that was not the case. (#44130) Graphics Conversions Trying to import a chart style from WordPerfect Presentations 2.0 would generate an incorrect error message. The error was changed to let you know that it is an unsupported format. Using the standalone ConvertPerfect the user can convert the WP Presentations 2.0 chart style to a WPG2.0 chart style. (#43706) Graphics Conversions Vertical lines with horizontal position set to margin converted from WP5x to WP60 with a 0" spacing rather than a space of about 1/8" between line and text. Now a spacing of 1/8" is applied to the vertical line when converted to WP60, making it more closely match the WP5x document. (#44336) Graphics Conversions WordPerfect Presentations image settings would not display. Presentations image settings are now displayed as a background color when you choose to have the background displayed in Image Editor. (#39564) Graphics Fonts Enhancement: Type 1 fonts have been added to the Additional Fonts disk to support the Hebrew, Cyrillic, Japanese, Arabic, and Arabic Script character sets. (#45866) Graphics Fonts Text boxes containing graphics fonts nested inside other text boxes with the contents rotated 90 or 270 degrees would not print correctly on a PostScript printer. (#43673) Graphics Fonts The ChelmsfordBook-WP (Type 1) font on the Additional Fonts disk has been changed so that the stems of the characters display/print smoother at lower resolutions. (#44478) Graphics Fonts The character "6" in the Roman-WP Italic (Type 1) font would print misshapen at certain point sizes when printed as a temporary soft font on HP LaserJet and compatible printers. (#47710) Graphics Import DXF files without a header section would return an "Invalid graphics file format" error when converting. (#44554) Graphics Import Flush right text in graphics images was positioned too far to the right in some cases. (#41031) Graphics Import Importing a WordPerfect Presentations 2.0 file that contained a chart generated either "Invalid error ID found" or "No convertible data was processed." (#42414) Graphics Import Many .CGM graphic images were importing as blank images. (#39112) Graphics Import Some graphics programs export an invalid TIFF format using pacbits compression. When these images were imported into WordPerfect they would be incorrect. (#43983) Graphics Import Text that was contour wrapped around a rounded rectangle in images from WordPerfect Presentations 2.0 was positioned incorrectly when imported into WordPerfect. (#41508) Graphics Import Text on a path that was converted from WordPerfect Presentations to WordPerfect 6.0 and back again to Presentations was not converting correctly. (#41509) Graphics Mode In Graphics Mode, hypertext buttons were not displaying after scrolling through documents with the mouse. (#41643) Graphics Printing Dot gain information in the .PRS file was not used when printing graphic fonts or when choosing Print Job Graphically (Shift-F7, j). (#43520) Graphics Printing Enhancement: Printing bit-mapped graphics is slightly faster. (#43172) Graphics Printing Enhancement: Printing graphics on most non-PostScript/non-HPGL printers has been sped up slightly. (#43482) Graphics Printing Printing bitmapped images rotated 90 or 270 degrees to a PostScript printer would cause the image to print blank or to be positioned incorrectly in the graphics box. (#48716) Graphics Printing When printing to a printer that supports HP-GL/2 vector graphics, TIFF preview images for EPS files would not print. (#43339) Help Engine The original release of Canadian English and Canadian French installed a US macro help file (WP_WP_US.HLM). They now install the appropriate .HLM file for the language. If you use the update option to install the interim release WordPerfect will now install the correct file, allowing you to delete the original WP_WP_US.HLM file. (#39467) Help Text Enhancement: A number of topics in Macros online help were edited to be more technically accurate. (#37273) Help Text Enhancement: Additional information about all the path options was added to the Location of Files dialog in WPFI. (#37497) Help Text Enhancement: A number of topics in online help have been edited for technical accuracy. (#43121) Help Text Enhancement: The following commands and system variables were added to the Macros Online Help: BarcodeDlg, BoxImageClipboardRetrieve, BoxImageClipboardSave, DocSummarySelectDlg, ENDIFPLATFORM, FaxRasterizeCover, FileManagerSaveSetup, FileManagerUseSpeedupFile, FloatingCellDlg, FOR, ?Framed, ?HorizontalScrollBar, IFPLATFORM, InsertFilenameDlg, LabelsDlg, LineNumberingDlg, ?MouseLastX, ?MouseLastY, OutlineStyleRename, PageNumberingDlg, PageSuppressDlg, PaperSizeTypeDlg, PrinterFunctionsDlg, PrinterVectorConfigured, QuickFinderDefaultDocSummary, QuickFinderDocSummary, QuickFinderResultsLevels, QuickFinderSearchIn, QuickFinderWPDocsOnly, ?Ruler, RulerNewTabType, RulerSetup, SubdividePageDlg, TableAdjustColumnWidth, TableAdjustPosition, TableDataFill, ?Units, ?VerticalScrollBar (#43163) Help Text Enhancement: Several topics in the Macros online help were edited to correct alignment or other formatting problems. (#44061) Help Text Enhancement: Several topics in online help contained jump terms which were linked to the wrong topic. Also, jump terms were added to several topics. (#44083) Help Text Enhancement: The following topics were added to the index for searching purposes: Thumbnails (Print Preview/View Fax) Update Index (QuickFinder) (#47206) Help Text The following topics were not in alphabetical order in the Macros Online Reference Macro Commands Index: BoxImagePresentations (#43190) Help Text The following commands have been removed from the Macros Online Reference: PrintPreviewFileMenu, PrintPreviewHelpMenu, PrintPreviewMenu, PrintPreviewPagesMenu, PrintPreviewViewMenu, SelectDelete, SelectOff, SelectOn, SelectRectangle, SelectTabularColumn (#44490) Help Text The following dialog boxes or options on dialog boxes now have context-sensitive help available: Incorrect Format, Select Printer From Install/Printer Disk, Shell, QuickFinder Search Setup, QuickFinder Operators (#46162) Help Text You were not able to get to specific help for zoom from the Screen Setup dialog (Ctrl+F3, Shift+F1, Z, F1). (#43254) Hypertext If any center on margin, flush right, or decimal tab codes were above the text being marked for a hypertext link, everything from the hypertext begin code downward would become a hypertext link. Now, WordPerfect will correctly place the hypertext end code at the end of the text being marked for a hypertext link. (#44197) Hyphenation Dutch hyphenation was sometimes locking when there was a [Change EOL Char:] at the end of the line that was being hyphenated. For example a 'ck' would change to 'kk' and it would hyphenate between the two. (#44393) Hyphenation Extraneous characters were appearing on the hyphenation dialog when there were more tabs on the line than were defined in the tab set dialog. Now, documents that are hyphenated which contain more tabs on a line than tab stops defined (for that line) insert a [TSRt] before the last defined tab. (#46345) Hyphenation Hyphenation was terminated in all open documents and all languages if any of the hyphenation files for a specific language were not found. Now hyphenation is not terminated for other documents and other languages. Hyphenation is now terminated just for the current language that the hyphenation files were not found for in the current document. (#45828) Hyphenation In documents with German language codes, hyphenation would insert extraneous ASCII characters after the hyphen in words that change characters when hyphenated (e.g. bucker => buk-ker). (#40739) Hyphenation In Finnish, hard spaces were sometimes counted as word delimiters. This would cause words with hard spaces to not hyphenate, even if the word had valid hyphenation points. (#47735) Hyphenation Previously, in order for a word to be hyphenated it would have to start to the left of the left hyphenation zone with enough space for the first character of the word to be hyphenated and also space for the hyphen itself. If there was ample space to the left of the zone for these 2 characters, and if the word spanned the zone, it was hyphenated at a hyphenation point that landed in the left hyphenation zone. Now, the word will be hyphenated if the word starts at all to the left of the hyphenation zone and the word spans the zone. (#46542) Hyphenation Using the Finnish (SU) language hyphenation, the word virallisia would hyphenate incorrectly. The word has been added to the .HYD file and will now hyphenate correctly (viralli-sia). (#47898) Hyphenation Scrolling through a document with small margins (e.g. margins, columns, tables, etc.) and hyphenation on could sometimes cause WordPerfect to lock. (#47536) Hyphenation WordPerfect would prompt the user for hyphenation if the word (or a portion of the word) completely spanned the hyphenation zone. This only affected the German (DE), Finnish (SU), and Dutch (NL) languages. (#40116) Hyphenation Words with a two-letter ending such as -ly, -ed, etc., were sometimes hyphenated just before the two-letter ending. (#952) Image Editor Canceling out of a dialog in the Image Editor by pressing both mouse buttons could cause the image to disappear. (#41538) Image Editor In some cases arcs in Macintosh PICT images would display and print incorrectly. (#42248) Image Editor Rotated bitmaps that were displayed or printed with error diffusion could have some distortion at the left side of the bitmap image. (#45870) Image Editor Selecting WP Info from the Button Bar in the Image Editor, would cause parts of the Create Graphics Box Dialog to display on top of the image. (#43435) Indent A left/right indent followed by two left indents would force the left/right indent to act as if it were a left indent. This would cause the right hand side to not be indented. (#42844) Index When generating an index, if a word appeared on consecutive pages and the page number was forced to wrap to the next line in the index, WordPerfect would insert one more [TSRt] code than occurrences of the word. A single [TSRt] is now inserted. (#41668) Index WordPerfect would only generate an index on every other attempt if there was a word in a footnote that matched a word in the concordance file. The index will now generate correctly every time. (#41661) Install Enhancement: During the Graphics commercial the word "or" was used in two cases where the word "and" was actually correct. (#42523) Install Enhancement: The descriptive text for the file group "Learning/Tutor Files" now includes references to the on-line Tutor, Coaches, and pre-defined Templates. (#35829) Install Enhancement: If you choose to install more printer, sound, or graphics drivers after you have just installed a set of drivers, the drivers you previously marked are unmarked when the list is redisplayed. (#36122) Install Enhancement: If the WordPerfect Shell is the last line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, installing the FaxDirect files will add the FAXDIR.EXE and FAXB.COM lines to the AUTOEXEC.BAT before the SHELL line instead of at the end of the file. (#43722) Install Enhancement: The version of the speller file, WPUS.LEX, was changed in 6.0b. With this change, if you are using SPELL.EXE dated 9-13-93 or before, you will need to upgrade to the latest version of SPELL.EXE. Install will now warn you at the end of the installation process if this scenario exists. (#47500) Install If you pressed Escape at the disk prompt for the Install: Update option, you were returned to the Device menu. Now, you are returned to the Update menu. (#43643) Install Install will now prompt you to replace the speller file, WPUS.LEX, if that file has been modified from the default. Two options exist, 1) Replace current file, or 2) Rename current file. The second option will rename the Speller file to WPOLDUS.LEX. (#46832) Install International versions of Install will now set shared paths as the default location of files for network installations. (#40071) Install The prompt that appears when installing printer drivers, "Insert into drive A the master diskette labeled Printer 1," has been changed to "Insert into drive A the master diskette labeled Install 1." (#40716) Install The Fax Modem Diagnostics utility has been removed from the shipping diskettes and placed on the Additional Utilities Disk. This is an additional disk available from WordPerfect. (#46938) Install When the Installation Program was reading diskettes, a cursor "bounced" from the Total Progress dialog to the dialog directly above it. Now, the cursor is disabled while files are installing. (#35247) Install When the Installation Program was copying files, the "commercials" at the top of the screen would flicker as the Total Progress dialog was updated. (#43105) Installation Enhancement: A new prompt has been included in Install that allows you to select how to update a modified speller file, WPUS.LEX. The options are to -- 1) Replace current Speller File, and 2) Install new file/Rename current File. The first option will replace the current Speller file and you will need to make all modifications manually. The second option will rename the existing WPUS.LEX to WPOLDUS.LEX. This option allows you to "Chain" the two speller files inside of WordPerfect so that the added words will not be caught. NOTE: Before chaining the files however, you will need to convert the WPOLDUS.LEX file to the newer format. This can be done using the SPELL.EXE utility. (#44068) Installation Enhancement: The Installation Program will prompt to update the WP.DRS file if it has been modified, even if you choose Never Prompt as the Smart Prompting option. (#44001) Installation If the INSTALL.DAT file was not found no disk space requirements were displayed when selecting the Continue Installation option. Install will now prompt that it could not find the file and that disk space requirements will not display exact amounts. (#44088) Installation The Macros and Fonts commercials would appear twice during a Custom Install. (#43967) Installation When selecting specific file groups for installation using the Network option, Install would always install the NSHSETUP files. Install will now only install the NSHSETUP files when the Shell file group is marked as a selection. (#44219) Installation When using the Update option, Install would copy files to the root of the current drive when no path was specified. Install now requires a path. (#44165) Interface Some of the buttons in WPFI were labeled Exit instead of Close. The consistency of the naming has now been improved. (#17090) Interface Enhancement: The word "Key" in the text for the option "Alt Key activates menu" on the Screen Setup dialog was not capitalized. (#38199) Justification Formatting codes that were pushed down by retrieved text were affecting the text even though they were now below it. For example, a Left/Right Margin code that was originally at the top of the document, and was then pushed down by retrieving or undeleting text before it, was still changing the margins at the top. Retrieving text at the beginning of a line with formatting codes would format the first line of the retrieved text to whatever the line was formatted for even though that code was pushed down below the retrieved text. (#38771) Justification The cursor in reveal codes would not match the position that showed on the document screen if Full Justification was turned on and there was a tab followed by some spaces. (#46217) Keyboard Layout After playing a macro that uses the PrinterSelect token, macros using DlgInput(On!) would not run correctly. They would not select the proper options; rather they would just print out the keystrokes at the document screen. (#40596) |
