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

Problem

Symptoms: When a customer exits WP by typing F7, then tries to save the file while exiting to a location (diskette or hard drive) where there is not enough room to hold the file, an error message is received "Error: Disk full - Press Any Key to Continue", followed by the standard exit prompt "Exit WP (Y/N)". In the far right corner of the status line it says "Press Cancel to Return to Document". If the customer pressed any other key except Cancel (F1), the program is exited and the document is lost. Solutions: Most customers complaining about this were used to the procedure in WP 5.0, where they were returned to the document after the error message instead of receiving the prompt. They did not read the prompt and pay attention to the cancel message. This has been reported to development and fixed so it will operate as WP 5.0 did (return to document). This fix will ship in next 5.1 interim release. The work around is to pay close attention to on-screen prompts and press Cancel after receiving the error message.
