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

Problem

Symptoms: The user did not like the Redline Method WordPerfect 5.1 uses for the NEC Pinwriter P2200. In 5.0 it was a shaded foreground. In 5.1 it has been changed to a dotted line beneath the data. We did the following to change it and we would like to know how this change will effect the printer driver:

1.      Type PTR at the proper DOS prompt and retrieve the *.PRS file.
2.      Press Enter on the Printer Name.
3.      Go to Attribute Methods and press Enter.
4.      Go to Redline and press Enter.
5.      Go to WP'S Redline separate pass and change the Redline Character from a 46 to a 768.
6.      Press F7 to save and exit the program. Solutions: The change you made should not affect anything adversely unless the user attempts to use very many different attributes on a single line. The character 768 is a line draw character. One reason we changed this on the NEC printers was because when more than one attribute is mixed on a line, it can cause problems if one of the methods changes the state of the printer. Line draw on the NEC printers is similar to double high fonts, in that it requires two passes to print and the printer leaves you at the last vertical position. WP assumes that we are still on the same baseline and if there is another attribute to print, it will now be too low for the next attribute.
