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

Problem

Symptoms: The Kyocera F-1010 printer supports Strikeout and in WordPerfect 5.0 it would do it. In WP51 it will not. We checked in the printer .ALL file and a global variable by the name of "hpstrkva" is accepted but there is no command sequence in the globals variables list to match. Solutions: In the 5.1 driver strikeout is done by printing the line of text, repositioning back to the beginning of the line, offsetting up (this is the "hpstrkva" variable you are asking about, and the reason why you didn't find it is because it is not a Global String Variable, but instead is a Function Variable), turning on underline, then moving to the end of the line. In 5.0, if he was using a older driver in 5.0, we used WP's strikeout method on
Separate Pass, which was a hyphen printed on top of the text. This method was later changed in 5.0 to the Auto method, the same method we now use in 5.1. The older ROM versions of the Kyocera printer had trouble with underline (this is mentioned in our Helps and Hints), so basically your customer has two options:

1) Upgrade the ROM on the printer. If he doesn't do this he may
find other problems that were mentioned in our Help screen.

2) Change the strikeout method in 5.1 from Auto to WP's. This is
done by doing the following:

      1.      Use the PTR program to retrieve in the ALL file and edit his printer
      2.      Press Enter on Attributes
      3.      Press Enter on Strikeout
      4.      Type an asterisk beside WP's Strikeout on Separate Pass
      5.      Press Enter on this new selection
      6.      Press Enter again on Strikeout character
      7.      Type 45 and press Enter
      8.      Exit Save then update PRS file
