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

Problem

Solutions: FYI:
In some versions of DOS 5.0 there is a "CO132" switch for the MODE command (e.g., Compaq DOS 5.0 has this capability). This command will only work if your graphics card has 132 column text mode capability. This will allow EGA or better machines to use a 132 column display mode when running WordPerfect. If the customer has a computer that does not recognize the CO132 switch, sometimes selecting a corresponding text driver in WP will help (e.g., 132x50). Typing Mode CO80 at DOS will return the display to what the customer is used to. Customers can also add a second parameter to the MODE command to control the number of rows on the screen, for example:
Mode CO132,50 Puts the screen at 132 Columns and 50 Rows. (VGA)
Mode CO132,43 Puts the screen at 132 Columns and 43 Rows. (EGA)
The text will get smaller as the mode numbers increase.
