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

Problem

Symptoms: A customer wanted to export a .WPG graphic into .PCX format so that she could use it in CorelDRAW. Solutions: Exporting .WPG graphics into other formats is currently not supported by WordPerfect. However, a workaround for those users who can run Windows in Enhanced mode is listed below:

1.      Go into WP 5.1 DOS from within Windows
2.      Retrieve the figure into a graphics box (preferably a user box so that there are no lines around it)
3.      Set up the graphic to the desired size
4.      Go into View Document to view the graphic
5.      Press Alt-Print Screen which puts a copy of the graphic into the Windows Clipboard
6.      Press Alt-Tab to bring up the Windows Program Manager, then go into Paintbrush
7.      Click on Edit|Paste to bring the graphic from the Clipboard into Paintbrush
8.      Click on File|Save As, then Options, click on .PCX, then name the file

The graphic is now saved in .PCX format.

Note: If the customer has DrawPerfect, the graphic can also be retrieved into DrawPerfect and saved as a .PCX graphic using Save As.
