WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: A customer retrieves a WP 5.0 document into WP 5.1. When the customer prints the file on an HP LaserJet III printer, it prints in a different position than it did in WP 5.0. The graphic has moved down 1/8" and to the right 1/4". Solutions: The problem is being caused because .PCX graphics are scaled differently in WP 5.1 than in WP 5.0. Almost all graphics in WP 5.0 are scaled using a center point. This would ensure that the graphic was positioned in the center of the graphics box. However, bitmapped graphics (i.e., PCX format) would scale based on the upper left corner. WP 5.1 changed the scaling of bitmapped graphics so they would be consistent with the scaling of other graphics.

Development says, "[Bitmapped] scaling was changed in 5.1 to match the way WP scales vector graphics. Therefore, there are significant differences in the way [bitmaps] appear in 5.0 vs. 5.1 when they are scaled, moved, etc." (18945W). In order to get the graphic to print in the same position in WP 5.1, you should move the graphic to the upper left corner of the box.
