WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS

Problem

DATE:      February 23, 1994
PRODUCT:      WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS (02/14/94 6.0b)
SUBJECT:      WordPerfect 6.0 -- Software Change Notice / Enhancements -- 02/14/94 (6.0b)

Advance
Multiple comments on a page would not display in Graphics Mode. (#42725)

AFC Selection
When the AFC ratio was set to 100%, WordPerfect would sometimes pick a different font. Now it will always use the original font. (#41261)

AFCs
In the past, some TrueType and Type 1 Bold and Italic fonts were not being chosen for AFCs. WordPerfect would use the base font and rasterize Bold and Italic. Now WordPerfect actually uses the Bold and Italic fonts for AFCs if those fonts exist. (#47054)
Attributes
Attributes such as underline, double underline, strikeout, and redline would not turn off, and would extend to the right, when an advance from left edge of page code was placed immediately after one of the 'attribute off' codes. (#46128)

AutoFont (WPFI)
Some fonts had widths that were slightly off. When installing an AutoFont font, WordPerfect now uses the size of a point as specified in the .TFM file instead of the standard 1/72" to calculate PS widths. (#44425)

AutoFont (WPFI)
Various Multinational 1 characters did not get built in to the .ALL file when a soft font was added using the AutoFont option in the WordPerfect Font Installer (WPFI). (#44418)

Backup
Enhancement: The Backup File Exists dialog did not have the yellow circled exclamation mark in Graphics Mode as did other information dialogs. (#20265)

Bar Code
With Bar Code Creation set to automatically create a bar code, and a hyphen in the mailing address' city name (e.g. Winston- Salem), the bar code began with a hyphen. Hyphens in the city name are now ignored. (#43873)

Block
Blocked text on the right side of graphics boxes set to "Wrap Text on Both Sides" did not display correctly. (#25786)

Block
When saving a block to a full disk, WordPerfect would create a file on the disk with zero bytes and not give you any feedback explaining what happened. You are now given a "! Disk Full" message. (#46582)

Booklet Printing
Enhancement: You can now print booklets more easily to a non-duplexing printer by using the Odd/Even Pages option (Shift-F7, m, o) in connection with Print as Booklet (Shift-F7, m, b).

By selecting Print as Booklet and setting Odd/Even Pages to Odd, WordPerfect will print only the front side of the booklet pages. You then can then reinsert the pages into the printer, choose to print the even pages as a booklet, and WordPerfect will print reverse side of the booklet pages.

Choosing to print odd or even pages of a booklet will have no effect if there is a double-sided printing code in the document. (#33402)

Bookmarks
WPWin 6.0 has the ability to automatically create hypertext links for Tables of Contents, Indexes, Tables of Authorities, etc. when the document is generated. WPDOS 6.0 does not have this ability. As a result, when one of these WPWin 6.0 documents was retrieved into WPDOS 6.0, each bookmark corresponding to a hypertext link would display in the Bookmark dialog with a blank name. Now, converted WPWin 6.0 documents that have hypertext links created upon generation will not display a corresponding bookmark in the Bookmark dialog. (#45820)

Borders
A Page, Paragraph, or Column border with a fill, that has the Border Style set to None would not display the fill in Graphics or Page mode. The fill would display correctly in Print Preview, and it printed correctly. (#44217)

Borders
If a Table was placed in a column with a Column Border defined, the lines of the table and the border would display incorrectly. (#42944)

Borders
If a paragraph border was defined with a shadow and separator lines between the paragraphs, the shadow would display and print in the wrong place if the first paragraph in the border only had one line of text. (#43614)

Borders
In Page mode the entire page would be rewritten every time a character was typed if there was a Page Border with a fill defined for the page. Now in most cases only the line on which you are typing is rewritten. (#27103)

Borders
Top inside spacing in Column Borders was ignored after the first page. (#41850)

Button Bar
Enhancement: Adding buttons to a Button Bar would always place the newly added button at the bottom of the list. Buttons are now inserted wherever the highlight bar is located in the list of buttons. (#20492)

Button Bar
If a new Button Bar file for Print Preview or Image Editor was created because the default Button Bar could not be found, the document screen's Button Bar was turned off if it had been previously displayed. (#42409)

Button Bar
If the .BRS and the .WPB files were deleted, entering Print Preview would cause WordPerfect to lock. (#43749)

Button Bar
In Text Mode, inactive scroll buttons on the Button Bar were not being grayed. This made it impossible to tell the difference between active and inactive scroll buttons. (#42689)

Button Bar
Reformat All Numbers could not be added to the Button Bar from the Pull-Down menus. (#43484)

Button Bar
The Reformat All Numbers and Table Lines features were added to the Button Bar Feature List. (#43494)

Button Bar
The Undo option was grayed and could not be added to the Equation Editor Button Bar. This only happened when editing the Button Bar using the BBarEdit button and the Add Menu Item option. (#43419)

Button Bar
Uppercase extended characters from character set 1 were not being converted to their lowercase equivalent for Button Bar text. This would happen if a macro or Button Bar that contained extended characters from set 1 was added to the current Button Bar. Buttons previously added to the Button Bar must be removed and added back in order for this change to take effect. (#40315)

Button Bar
While in a header, footer, or watermark, selecting a button on the Button Bar that brings up another Button Bar would select, but not display the new Button Bar. Thus when you clicked on a button on the displayed Button Bar, WordPerfect would perform the action of the selected Button Bar. (#43479)

Button Bars
Enhancement: The Advance dialog can now be added to the Button Bar. (#44062)

Center Page
When blocking text that is centered, then choosing to print the block, a blank page would print out. (#45803)

Character Classification
The first 22 characters in character set 1 were causing Speller to stop on correctly spelled words which used those punctuation marks. Now Speller will overlook correctly spelled words that use of the first 22 punctuation marks in character set 1. (#44189)

Character Mapping
Enhancement: CHARACTR.DOC contained incorrect character names for characters 144, 145, 146, and 147 in the Cyrillic and Georgian character set (character set 10). The names are now correct (YUS MALYI, yus malyi, YUS BOLSHOI, and yus bolshoi respectively). (#47121)

Character Mapping
When editing the license number from the WP Info dialog, lowercase extended characters were not automatically converted to the uppercase equivalents. (#40848)

Character Sets
Character #180 in the Greek Character Set (p. 740 in the manual) was mapped as #197 in the program. This caused the characters 180-189 in the "WordPerfect Characters" dialog box (Ctrl+W) to be shifted one step. If you used the numbers in Appendix A when entering these characters, you wouldn't get the right ones. (#40547)

Clipboard - Screen Cut
Enhancement: The Shell clipboard now supports code pages (for international versions) using the /CP startup option. (#46625)

Coaches
"Choose Edit dialog box" appeared on the screen before it should have when using the pull down menus in the Tables Coach. It had not told you to choose the Tables option first. It now says, "Choose Tables, then Edit." (#44634)

Coaches
Enhancement: The Coaches list is now sorted by document descriptive names rather than by filenames. (#40303)

Coaches
In the Table of Contents Coach you could not use the mouse to click on OK in the Generate Dialog. (#43531)

Coaches
In the Footnotes Coach, when pressing Escape from the "Type the text for the footnote" dialog, WordPerfect was bringing up the "Undelete?" dialog. It now brings up the "Quit Coach?" dialog instead. (#44687)

Coaches
In the Convert Case Coach pressing "Escape, No, Continue" would overwrite the instructions dialog at the right of the screen. Now it displays correctly. (#44677)

Coaches
In the Booklet Printing Coach if you input something other than 2 columns and 1 row for the subdivided pages, the coach would prompt you that the document had not been formatted correctly to print as a booklet, and ask if you wanted to try again. If you chose to retry formatting the document, WordPerfect would lock. (#45464)

Coaches
On the Additional Coaches the Layout Pull Down Menu covered half of the Coaches dialog box on the Table Formulas Coach. Pull Down Menus are no longer available from the Calculate Table Formulas Coach. (#44374)

Coaches
Playing a coach with a password would cause display problems in the Coaches dialog. (#38336)

Coaches
The QuickList Coach did not bring up the correct File Manager dialog if a directory that does not exist was entered as the QuickList directory entry. (#44681)

Coaches
The Bookmarks Coach would rewrite the screen incorrectly if the mouse was used to click on Find in the Bookmarks Dialog Box. (#44216)

Coaches
The Merge a Form Letter, Merge into a Table, and Labels Coaches now say, "Highlight the field name that you would like to insert in the form file, then choose Select -or- Press F4 to select a new data file." (#44613)

Coaches
The Graphics Lines Coach was bringing up an incorrect Hint. (#44693)

Coaches
There was an extraneous Select OK dialog in the Generate portion of the Table of Contents Coach. (#43532)

Coaches
When the selected text color scheme used a 512 character, 8 color mode, Coaches and the Tutorial would cause WordPerfect to lock. (#47839)

Coaches
Enhancement: With all 9 documents open the Labels coach said, "Exit one of more of your documents." It now says, "Exit one or more of your documents." (#43965)

Color Printing Palette
Color palette names with non-ASCII characters would display incorrectly in the prompt that displays when deleting the palette. This also occurred when deleting a color from a palette. (#46247)

Color Printing Palette
Creating a color palette would create the color palette file (*.WPP) in the current directory instead of in the shared printer directory when there was no personal printer directory specified in Location of Files. (#47444)

Color Printing Palette
Enhancement: The Create Color Palette dialog (Shift-F1, c, c) and the Rename Palette dialog (Shift-F1, c, r) have been changed to allow 52 characters in the palette name. (#41118)

Color Printing Palette
Enhancement: Pressing Insert in the Edit Color Printing Palette dialog (Shift-F1, c, e) will bring up the Add Color dialog. Pressing Delete or Backspace will delete the color. (#41135)

Color Printing Palette
Scrolling in the list of colors in a color palette could cause random locking in WordPerfect in certain memory configurations. (#46567)

Color Schemes
Color scheme names containing extended characters were not displayed correctly when prompted during deletion of the color scheme. (#46248)

Color Schemes
Editing a Graphics Mode color scheme immediately after selecting a different graphics screen type could cause WordPerfect to lock. (#43800)

Color Schemes
In Text Mode, if the Font option for the Blocked attribute was turned on for the currently selected screen font color scheme, the block attribute would display on text that was no longer being blocked in the document screen. (#43971)

Color Schemes
The macro tokens recorded for DlgBlockBackground and DlgBlockTextColor were switched so that they recorded opposite of what they should have. (#45683)

Columns
Balanced columns did not remain balanced if text above or within the columns contained a footnote. (#45671)

Columns
Blocking text that spans multiple pages and inserting parallel columns with block protect could cause WordPerfect to lock. This would happen if the document contained codes such as headers, footers or columns. (#46762)

Columns
Either moving the cursor across or deleting a [-ColDef] code in parallel columns could cause WordPerfect to lock. (#44853)

Columns
Defining parallel columns at the top of a document that already had columns defined would cause display problems and cursor movement to become slower until the screen was rewritten. (#46676)

Columns
Moving through parallel columns using Alt-Down would cause WordPerfect to lock if parallel columns were not turned off at the end of the file. (#47393)

Columns
When changing the space between columns, the settings would not hold for certain values. (#43589)

Comments
Comments that were preceded by margin codes would not show all of the text. For example, if you had a comment that said "This is a test" and a margin code following the comment that set the left margin to 2" nothing would show up in the comment. (#36813)

Comments
In Graphics Mode, if you were entering text on a line above a comment, the comment and text would flicker. (#7164)

Control Printer
Playing a macro to cancel or rush a print job that did not exist in the print queue would cause invalid errors or would lock WordPerfect. (#43587)

Control Printer
The border line would display through the words "Job," "Document," and "Destination" in Control Printer in Graphics Mode when the current print job finished printing and there were other jobs in the queue. (#41700)

Control Printer
The Rush Immediately option was not cleared from the Control Printer dialog after rushing a job immediately. (#43343)
