WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

A graphic exported from CorelDRAW version 3.0 B to WordPerfect 5.1 in the .WPG format will not print correctly. The graphic has a gray shading setting of 50% but actually prints completely black. This problem occurs in both the DOS and Windows versions of WP51.

Answer:

A possible work around for this problem, would be to use GRAPHCNV with the /C=256 Switch in CorelDraw.

Details:


The problem occurs because of the way the colors map when the user imports the graphics file into WP. The gray color maps appears as white. Because it maps this way, WP inverts the white fill to black so it won't match the white page background.
