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

Problem

Symptoms: Various extended characters (e.g., 4,3 and 4,34) are not appearing in View Document. Solutions: The customer had the Presentations 2.0 WP.DRS file in the WP51 directory. After installing the WordPerfect WP.DRS file into the WP51 directory, the extended characters displayed in View Document.

How/Why:
Since WordPerfect cannot read the Presentations WP.DRS file, WP was accessing the WPSMALL.DRS file. If there is not a WordPerfect 5.1 compatible WP.DRS file located in the WP program directory, WP will use the WPSMALL.DRS file instead. The WPSMALL.DRS file is a smaller version of the WP.DRS file and is unable to create all extended characters in View Document. Unless the characters were mapped in the printer driver, they would not have printed either.
