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

Problem

Symptoms: The underline is printing too close to the bottom of the letters with fonts from the Powerpak font package. The customer has soft fonts from Hewlett-Packard for their HP LaserJet Series II printer. The Underline attribute works fine with the Hewlett-Packard fonts. Solutions: The same underline code and placement of the code is used for both the Hewlett-Packard fonts and the Powerpak fonts. The reason why the underline is printing closer to the Powerpak fonts is the placement of the characters in the Powerpak fonts. The customer can increase the amount of spaced used in the placement of the characters, but the offset of the underline for Hewlett-Packard fonts will be affected. The steps to change the placement of characters are as follows:
1.      Enter the PTR program, retrieve the Powerpak .ALL (or .PRS) file and press Enter on the Powerpak printer.
2.      Select Attribute Methods.
3.      Select Underline.
4.      Type an asterisk beside Auto Underline on Separate Pass and then press Enter to edit.
5.      For Underline On add: hpundon in the Expression box. For Underline Off add: hpundoff in the Expression box.
6.      Select Vertical Offset and enter a positive value such as 8. The value can be increased or decreased to obtain the desired results.
7.      Exit the PTR program and save the modified .ALL file
8.      Update the .PRS file in WordPerfect by pressing Shift-F7 (Print), S (Select Printer), 7 (Update).

Another user obtained the same results by following the steps with the exception of steps 4 and 5. Instead of marking Auto Underline on Separate Pass as in step 4, the user marked WP's Underline on Separate Pass. Next they entered 95 for the underline character instead of entering the values mentioned in step 5.
