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

Problem

Symptoms: A customer is running WordPerfect on a PC compatible with a
Hercules graphic card. When he tries to access Bold with F6, text
does not show highlighted on the screen. He has reinstalled the
graphics disks with no improvement. He tried Shift-F2, 2, 2, 2,
to auto-select his graphics screen driver with no improvement.
He has tried startup options WP/MONO and WP/NF, and neither
helped. He tried running vanilla and the problem persisted. He
has a program called SIM-CGA (shareware) dated 09/11/86, and when
it isn't running he is able to see text bolded on the screen. Solutions: The SIM-CGA program is working as designed. The SIM-CGA program
is designed to fool other software into thinking that the
graphics card is a CGA card. With SIM-CGA loaded, WP
auto-selects CGA for the Graphics Screen Type. Since the
Underline font isn't available in this mode, the customer is
not able to have the Underline font as an option.
