WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: Two simple statements should be added to any encoded PostScript file to meet the minimum requirements for an Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file that can be imported into page composition software. These two lines should be reproduced exactly as shown below, except for the four bounding box coordinates on the second line.
%!PS-Adobe-2.0 EPSF-1.2
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 612 792

The first line identifies the file as an EPS file, and the second line describes a rectangle that encloses the drawing, according to the PostScript coordinate system. The numbers are replaceable values that represent the lower-left x and y, and the upper-right x and y, respectively.

An EPS file should also conform to the Adobe version 2.0 PostScript document formatting specifications. If it does not, adding these lines may make it so WP will import the file, but the image may not print correctly, or at all. Adding the two lines could be used as a troubleshooting option when files print poorly or not at all.

Note: Customers should retrieve/import an EPS file into WordPerfect through the Graphics feature (Alt-F9, 1, 1, 1).
