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

Problem

Symptoms: When the customer saves a WP 5.1 document as DOS Text and then prints the file from DOS using the COPY command (i.e., COPY [filename] LPT1), the first line of each page will not print on the pages after the first page. Solutions: This is a DOS printing limitation. WP 5.1 is converting the entire document correctly. All of the text is there, but because of the way the document is formatted, the first line spans past 80 columns. For this reason, the file does not print with the COPY command from DOS. The document will print from WP 5.1.

How/Why:
If you type the file at DOS using the TYPE command (i.e., TYPE [filename]), you can see that the document is formatted beyond 80 columns.
