WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: There are a few characters in the IBM PC character set that do not print in WordPerfect 5.1 because they are mismapped. The compose codes for the characters we know do not print are as follows:

5,0 through 5,5; 5,7 through 5,10; 5,18; 5,19; 4,0; 4,37; 6,22

To fix this, use the PTR program to enter an escape code in the character map for that character.

1.      From the WordPerfect directory, type ptr (.ALL filename) press Enter.
2.      Select your printer and press Enter.
3.      Select Fonts and press Enter.
4.      Select the Font Library for your printer and press Enter.
5.      Select a font made with the IBM PC character set and press Enter.
6.      Select Character Map and press Enter twice.
7.      Move to one of the characters that will not print.
8.      Press the F9 key.
9.      Press 1 to Add.
10.      Type nc, press Enter, and then press the right arrow key.
11.      Type [27]"&p1X" exactly as shown and press Enter.
12.      Press F7.
13.      Move to a character that is not printing.
14.      Press the right arrow key and then the left arrow key and type nc in front of the number in brackets.
15.      Repeat steps 13 and 14 for all mismapped characters.
16.      After all characters have been adjusted, exit the PTR program saving the .ALL file.

Once you have made these changes to the .ALL file, you must update the .PRS file in WordPerfect. To do this, enter the WordPerfect program, press Shift-F7, S to select, and U to update.
