WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer is having problems when bringing a CGM PicturePak graphic into WordPerfect 5.1 and DrawPerfect. When the graphic is brought into either program, the graphic has a black background and dark red lines; it is impossible to read. The customer tried changing the graphics options to black and white, but this doesn't help too much. The customer finally had to overlay two separate graphics. The customer wants to know if there is any chance this problem was addressed or if there is an easier way. Solutions: The line color and the background color are either the same or very close to each other. There are three alternatives the customer can perform to help correct the problem:

1.      In WordPerfect, with the graphic displayed on the Graphics Edit screen, press option 4 (Invert On/Off). This will allow the customer to see and print the graphic in WordPerfect.

2.      The customer can run the graphic file through the GRAPHCNV.EXE program and use the /N=1 /B=8 to change the colors. The file should then retrieve and view correctly in both WordPerfect and DrawPerfect.

3.      The customer can retrieve the graphic into DrawPerfect and change the page background color. To do so,
            a. Retrieve the graphic.
            b. Place the mouse cursor on Options and select it.
            c. Place the mouse cursor on Page Options and select it.
            d. Select Page Background color option 6 and select color 16 (white).
            e. Exit back to the graphic.
      The customer should now be able to see and edit the graphic with no problems. When the customer saves the graphic, the user should be able to use it in WP. If the customer still has problems viewing it in WP, try the Invert function described above.
