The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS

Problem

There is no limit to the amount of text you can have in a graphic box caption.


Concept
WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS only allowed 256 bytes (about 256 characters) of information in a caption. WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS treats graphic captions as normal editing structures (such as headers and footers) so there is no limitation. For example, a caption could actually be a page long.


How Do I Use It?
To create a graphics caption,

1      Choose Graphics Boxes from the Graphics menu, or press Graphics (Alt+F9) and choose Graphics Boxes (1).

2      Choose Create (1), then choose Create Caption (4).

3      Type in the caption. Experiment with this enhancement by typing in as much text as you want.

When you have finished typing the caption,

4      Press Exit (F7) to return to the Create Graphics Box dialog box.

5      Choose OK to return to the document editing screen.

Use Print Preview to view the caption you have created.

1      Choose Print/Fax from the File menu or press Print/Fax (Shift+F7).

2      Choose Print Preview (7).
