WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: FYI:
Miscellaneous ASCII characters displayed on the full width of the screen. The problem occurred when the user accessed the Office 3.01 Shell then started WordPerfect from Microsoft Windows 3.0. The garbage characters appeared after the user selected 132x32 dimensions for the text screen type in Setup (Shift-F1, 2, 3). Display returned to normal when the user changed to an 80x25 display mode. Exiting Windows and starting WP from Shell eliminated the display problem. This also enabled the user to select a 132x32 display mode. Windows 3.0 and 3.1 can cause problems with extended text drivers used in WordPerfect. If running WP outside of Windows resolves the problem, then the only option to help solve the problem is to check the customer's .PIF settings to make sure they are correct.
