Problem

Symptoms: When the customer retrieves WP 5.0 Clip Art images, nothing appears in the Graphics Editing screen, View Document, or when the graphics print. If the customer inverts the images, they do appear in View Document and print. The customer tried using the WP 5.0 GRAPHCNV.EXE using /C=B, and it didn't make any difference. Solutions: This feature is working as designed. The default background color for current releases of WP 5.0 is white, and the color of the lines in most of the figures is white. This is why the graphic prints out blank and inverting it corrects the problem. If the customer does not want to invert each of the graphics after retrieving them, the customer could run all the graphics files through the GRAPHCNV utility at once with the /C=B startup option. This option will work in most cases.

Some users may not be successful with the /C=B option, so another way to solve the problem is to use the /B= startup option with GRAPHCNV to convert the background color of the file. This will preserve color values in the graphics file. The /C=B switch will simply change all color values. On the 11/06/89 version of GRAPHCNV.EXE, this will work with any value except 7. The graphic will display with a different color background but should print fine. With future dates of the GRAPHCNV.EXE, it should work correctly with the /B=7 switch. This will give the customer a white background on the graphics.

Another workaround is to run GRAPHCNV with the option /B=8/N=1/F=1 to convert all of the .WPG files to a different background color. However, this will not change already existing documents which contain these graphics. The following macro will help customers do this:

{Graphics}12{PAUSE}{Enter}
94{Exit}{Exit}

To create it, first create a figure graphic as a dummy on which to perform all of the macro operations. Then press Ctrl-F10, Alt-G (or whatever you want to call the macro), type in Graphics Invert (or whatever description you want) and press Enter. Then, press Alt-F9, 1 (Figure), 2 (Edit), Ctrl-PgUp, 1 (Pause), 1 (Number of figure to edit), Enter (to turn off Pause), Enter (to "Enter" figure number), 9 (Edit), 4 (Invert), F7, F7.

When the macro runs, it will prompt the customer for the number of the figure to invert. The macro will have to be run once for each graphic in the document. This will provide customers with an easy way to get in and fix the documents that are already created.
