Graphics Converted Smaller Than WP 5.0 |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer has a GRAB.WPG file which does not import into WP 5.1 the same size as it does in WP 5.0. An image was grabbed using 5.0 GRAB.COM, and then put into a graphics box in a 5.0 document. The same 5.0 document, when retrieved into 5.1, comes out with the grabbed graphic smaller than in 5.0. This is used as the customer's letterhead logo and he is not able to print any of his documents in 5.1 since the logo comes out the wrong size. Solutions: WP 5.0 and WP 5.1 do not convert graphics information the same. In WP 5.0, there were certain scaling values that did not get interpreted. Instead, WP assumed the resolution and bypassed the scaling factor. This was done because so many formats from different graphics packages had erroneous resolution or scaling factors. WP covered for this by assigning a default value. In WP 5.1, this is no longer the case. In order to accommodate more complex graphics images and be compatible across more platforms, the information saved with a graphics image will be interpreted as given. In the case that erroneous data is given, WP will assume the larger resolution value is correct and display it accordingly. In the case of this logo, the scaling factor saved in WP 5.0 with GRAB.COM was not being converted. The "X" axis needs to be scaled to 115% to correct the sizing. This can be done for large documents by creating a simple macro that searches for the image, and makes the scale change. Another way is to incorporate the logo into a header. By making a change to the image once, the whole document is fixed. |
