Running With Windows Or DESQview - Link Buffe |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: When using any type of spreadsheet or menu program, such as Office, Lotus, Quattro Pro, Windows or PlanPerfect, with the spreadsheet Link feature (Ctrl-F5) in WordPerfect, the links do not update. If the customer changes the "Update During Retrieve" to Yes, it doesn't update either. The only way it will update is when the customer changes the document name in Quattro Pro, and then changes the link name in WordPerfect. These problems seem to only occur when running WordPerfect under DESQview or Windows. Using the Link feature works fine when booting vanilla. Solutions: This problem arises when a user imports a spreadsheet into WP 5.1, swaps out of WP and into the spreadsheet program to make a change, resaves the modified spreadsheet, and then swaps back into WP and imports. This problem is not specific to a certain spreadsheet program or to Windows. Rather, WordPerfect was having a problem with not clearing the link buffers. This problem will be fixed in the next interim release after 12/31/90. Please watch for this change in the Software Change Notices. The user also needs to be aware that he needs to hot key between the programs, not unload them from memory by exiting all of the way out. Disks to send: Program 1/2 |
