WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: A customer was unable to change the screen display to a dark foreground and a light background when using a Toshiba 1200 laptop computer which had an LCD monitor. The original screen display was just the opposite, light foreground with a dark background. The Graphics Screen Type was set to CGA 640x200 2 color. The customer tried using Auto-Select and WP also chose the CGA 640x200 2 color driver. The customer tried changing the Normal attribute with no luck.

The situation was finally corrected by entering WordPerfect with the startup option WP/MONO. This changed the screen display to a dark foreground and a light background as the customer wanted.

The reversing of display colors cannot be done inside Wordperfect when using a liquid crystal screen display monitor, i.e. Toshiba laptop. For example, if the background is set at black and the foreground at white, the colors cannot be changed to the reverse (white background with black foreground).
