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

Problem

Symptoms: A customer is using an Epson FX-185 printer, and it puts extra line feeds in her documents. Blocking and then printing the affected area caused that area to print correctly, but random line feeds would appear in other places. Saving the text as DOS text and retrieving it to print, or using WP/X did not correct the problem. Updating the printer driver did not solve the problem either. She has a BACKTALK program, MIRROR commands and a Desktop program in her AUTOEXEC.BAT. Renaming the AUTOEXEC.BAT and rebooting did solve the problem. Solutions: It was found that removing BACKTALK from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file resolved the problem. As long as BACKTALK is not resident, the other commands are OK. in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
