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

Problem

Symptoms: WordPerfect 5.0 documents that contain proportionally spaced (PS) fonts have different line heights when retrieved into WP 5.1. Also, extra soft page breaks appear in the document, and the tab settings do not convert correctly. The customer used the PTR Program with the /50POINT option to convert the printer driver, but the line height problem still occurred. Solutions: WP 5.1 adds 2 points leading to all PS fonts, where WP 5.0 did not. To correct the problem, the customer can use the leading adjust option (Shift-F8, 4, 6, 6) and set it to -2/72 for the [SRt] and [HRt] options. Converting a printer driver using /50POINT will have no effect on this option. The leading control is built into the program.

Some customers have created macros to help convert and format WP 5.0 documents to WP 5.1.
