WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: Customers who experience problems taking a WordPerfect graphic (.WPG) into DrawPerfect, using the DrawPerfect option in Graphics Edit (Alt-F9, F, E, D), should verify the following items:
1.      Are the WPTODRAW and DRAWTOWP macros available?
2.      Is the customer using Shell?
3.      Is a menu item present for both programs?
4.      Were both programs started from the menu using their executable files (WP.EXE, DR.EXE); not with a batch file or some other method?

If DrawPerfect has been improperly exited at some point before the user enters WordPerfect, the user will experience a problem when he trying to transfer a graphic to DrawPerfect from WP's Graphic Edit screen. The Shell Macro WPTODRAW, which is invoked when a user chooses option 6 on the Graphics Edit screen, takes the user out of WordPerfect, saves the graphic to the Clipboard, and then attempts to enter DrawPerfect. Just after the opening screen appears the message "Are Other Copies Of DrawPerfect Currently Running" quickly flashes on screen and then the screen goes blank.

To remedy the situation, the user needs to enter DrawPerfect (without the macro) and answer the "Are Other Copies..." prompt, and then exit; this should resolve the problem and allow the user to transfer graphics directly into DrawPerfect from the Graphics Edit screen of WordPerfect.
