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

Problem

Solutions: HP Type Director is supported by Hewlett-Packard not WordPerfect.

Installation:
HP Type Director 1.0:
Type Director 1.0 was not originally designed to work with WordPerfect. HP designed a module that would add WP as an available application and then offered WP as one of the choices. You had to install TD first and then install the module. This became basically a two step process:
      1)      Insert the diskette labeled Type Director 1 into your source drive. Change the DOS prompt to your source drive (i.e., A:) and type INSTALL. Answer the questions on the screen and follow the messages to insert the remaining disks.
      2)      Insert the diskette labeled WordPerfect V5.0 - Type Director Support files into your source drive. Change the DOS prompt to your source drive. Type INSTALL and answer the questions asked by the install program.

HP Type Director 2.0:
Type Director 2.0 was designed to work with WordPerfect and many other software applications. Installing Type Director 2.0 is a one step process:
      1)      Insert the diskette labeled Type Director 1 into your source drive. Change the DOS prompt to your source drive. Type INSTALL and answer the questions on the screen and follow the messages to insert the remaining disks.

Starting Type Director:
Change to the TD Directory (CD\TD).
      Type TD and press Enter (Note: Type Director will begin by typing TYPDIR; however, it will not update the .ALL file when you exit). The Type Director Main Menu will appear.

2.      Highlight the Printer field and press Enter. From the list highlight your printer, then press Enter to save.
Note:      With the initial release of 5.1 there was a problem if you were using the HP IID because of the way the printer was named in WP.
