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

Problem

Solutions: The customer was using a Compaq LTE laptop computer and could not see the cursor in Reveal Codes or when blocking information. Changing the colors in Setup for blocked text did not correct the problem. Starting WordPerfect with the /MONO startup option corrected the problem. This is a good troubleshooting step when dealing with display problems on laptop machines.
A second customer noticed that Underline would only display as a different background color in WP. Using the MODE UND=ON command did not cause Underline to display as an underscore character. This command does not affect the underline attribute in WP for this model of laptop. The only way to display Underline is as a different background color.

Another customer could only see the cursor move. The screen display was very light. The customer corrected the problem by plugging in the laptop, rather than using the battery.
