WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: WPCorp continues to receive enhancement requests for color printing in WordPerfect 5.1 for the PC. Color text printing is supported through Ctrl-F8, 5 (Ctrl-F8, C). Graphics color printing is not supported in WordPerfect 5.1, or any past version of the product. DrawPerfect 1.0 and 1.1, and PlanPerfect 5.0 and 5.1 use a non-WP third party package called GSS to print color graphics, however, GSS does not work in WordPerfect.

The 03/30/90 release of WordPerfect 5.1 and the 03/09/90 printer release supports color encapsulated PostScript files and color bitmap for PostScript printers. Customers using the 03/30/90 release of WP, have also found it possible to print color CGM vector files on PostScript printers. Color TIFF images (bitmapped) cannot be printed since WP51 does not yet accept color TIFF images. There has been no public announcement that future versions of WordPerfect will support color graphics.
