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

Problem

Symptoms: When a user retrieved a graphic into WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS, the text was placed incorrectly and rotated text was no longer rotated. The graphic was created in Freelance for Windows, saved to the Clipboard, pasted into WPWin, and saved in WPG format. The graphic previewed and printed correctly in WPWin. The customer was under the impression that .WPG files were interchangeable in both the Windows and the DOS environment. Solutions: Graphical files that are taken to the Clipboard in Windows, brought into WPWin from a WMF format, and converted into a WPG format are not compatible in the DOS environment. Metafiles are not yet correctly converted in the DOS conversion process. Even though the file was saved as a .WPG file from WPWin, it still had the basic bitmapped metafile format. One example of a problem a customer had converting WMF graphics to WPG format is that the lines in the graphics became fuzzy and there were squiggly lines running through the graphic.
