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

Problem

Symptoms: How do you change the strikeout character used for the HP LaserJet Series II or HP III? Solutions: (This can also apply to printers other than the HP LaserJet Series II.)
Steps to change the character used for strikeout:
1.      Execute the PTR program by typing PTR from DOS and pressing Enter.
2.      Press Shift-F10 and type in WPHP1.ALL and press Enter.
3.      Press Enter on HP LaserJet Series II, Attribute Methods, and Strikeout.
4.      Type an asterisk beside WP's Strikeout On Separate Pass.
5.      Press Enter on WP's Strikeout On Separate Pass and Strikeout Character.
6.      Type 47 if you want the forward slash character and press Enter. (This value is obtained by using the WP characters found in the appendix of the WP manual, and the number is calculated by taking the number 256 and multiplying it by the character set # (i.e., Character set 0 contains the ASCII characters), then adding the value for that character in the set (i.e., the / is located at 47). This is how the value was obtained for the slash character: 256 * 0 + 47 = 47).**
7.      Press Alt-F7 (Save) and go through the steps of saving and replacing the file.
8.      Go into WP and from the document screen press Shift-F7, S, and 7 to update the PRS file with the changes made to the WPHP1.ALL file.

**Entering the character for strikeout, as explained in step 6, may be done by entering the desired character enclosed in single quotes instead of entering the character value. I.E. '*'.

Note: If the character you choose from the WordPerfect character sets is being graphically created (the character isn't mapped) it will not print out for the strikeout character. You will have to choose a character that is mapped.

***      These changes will affect printing; however, they will not affect the way View Document displays the strikeout character. ***
