Hotkeying From WP - Garbage/Horizontal Lines |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: When the customer tried to hotkey from WordPerfect to PC Tools 6.0, Tornado Notes, or other third-party programs, the screen displayed garbage or horizontal lines in the destination programs. Another customer received scrambled text when he hotkeyed to WordPerfect using a terminal emulation program which allowed switching by hotkey to windowed DOS sessions. Another customer is using IBM AS400 PC Support 2.0, a terminal emulation TSR, while running WP. This program lets you hotkey out of an application to the TSR and then hotkey back. The problem is that when the customer hotkeys out, it keeps the screen attributes and font (or font attribute) from WP (e.g., a blue screen with an underlined 24pt Helvetica font, etc.). Solutions: Selecting Normal Font Only in the WordPerfect Colors/Fonts/Attributes setup screen (Shift-F1, 2, 1, 6) resolved the above problems. The customer had originally selected one of the extended screen font definitions (the 512 Character font). |
