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

Problem

Symptoms: A customer running WordPerfect 5.1 on a two floppy system was starting the program with the /D startup option, directing the files to B:. Once in the program, the user tried to print a document that included a graphic. When the job was sent, the user was asked to enter a password for the WP}WP{.GF1 file and the error "Graphic Spill File Not Found" appeared in Control Printer.

After the customer explained the setup, it was discovered that the WP2 disk was in the A: drive and a data disk in the B: drive. In order to retrieve the graphic file the user would remove the data disk from B: and insert a disk with the graphic on it. At that point the graphic overflow file, WP}WP{.GF1, would be written to the new disk. When the new disk was removed and the data disk was again inserted the situation above would occur. Solutions: If you create a figure and a temporary file is made on drive B:, you cannot remove the diskette. Doing so would take the .GF1 temporary file out of use for WP, hence, the message "Cannot Find Graphic Overflow Files." The customer has to make sure the graphics images are on the same diskette as the temporary file, or redirect the overflow files to C:.
