WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: Gray shading in graphics boxes printed on the HP Deskjet Plus printer is the same for high quality graphics as for medium quality. Both qualities are approximately equivalent to medium quality graphics printed with WP 5.0. High quality graphics printed with WP 5.0 are noticeably better. Solutions: This was a program change between WP 5.0 and WP 5.1. Development felt that changing the graphic quality did not necessarily mean that the shading should change, so it was taken out. Customers can change the percentage of shading with a graphics option for the appropriate box type.

In version 5.0 a 4 x 4 dot raster was used to create fill patters and shaded backgrounds. The problem was that the 4 x 4 dot raster was not able to create very good fill patterns, so the raster was changed to a 8 x 8 dot raster for version 5.1. This 8 x 8 pattern greatly improved the appearance of fill patterns, but reduced WordPerfects ability to create fine-shaded backgrounds.

Development is considering making a change to the way WP does shading for the next version of the program. Customers calling about this should have enhancement requests written for them. This problem affects all printers that do not support Auto Rules and Shaded Boxes.
