WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: When printing a graphics box with rotated text in it, the box prints on one page, and the text prints on the following page. Using Graphics Quality set to Draft, Medium or High produces the same result. Nothing is on the page other than the box with text. The printer is an HP LaserJet IID printer. Solutions: This is working as designed. In fact, it's a limitation of the PCL4 language, which is the language the Series II printers understand. Rotating text in a graphics box is only supported in PCL5 or higher. PCL5 is the language used by the HP Series III printers. In PCL4, an orientation command is used to rotate the fonts on a page. For example, if there is a page where the main text is in portrait, and a user tries to rotate text in a graphics box so it will look landscape on the page, it will print the rotated text on another page. This is true because WordPerfect cannot have two different orientation commands on the same page. However, with PCL5 there is a print direction command that can be used that tells the text to print in a different direction.
