WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: When using a 10 point 12 pitch font and 4.2 units of measure for status line display, 74 lines of text are printed on a page. The customer only wants 66 lines per page. We tried setting the line height to a fixed height of .1667" And this worked for the printed page but the screen line position says that we are at line 74. It does not have this affect when using inches but the customer needs to use 4.2 units of measure. Solutions: It sounds like the customer wants Courier 12cpi to print 6 lines per inch. It may be preferable to the customer to change the size and spacing information for the Courier 10pt 12cpi font in PTR:

      1.      Type PTR at a DOS prompt
      2.      Press Shift-F10 to retrieve the .ALL file, or .PRS file
      3.      Highlight the printer and Enter
      4.      Highlight Fonts and Enter
      5.      Highlight Courier 10pt
      6.      Highlight Size and Spacing Information
      7.      Change the point size from 10 to 12
      8.      change the font cell height from 9 to 10
      9.      Exit and save file--Update printer file in WP if ALL file was used

The customer should then get 6 lines per inch. She can still use 4.2 units of measure and the status line will be correct. You will notice if she changes the line height to fixed and types in .167" and enters the line height says 1.2, when using this line height the status line is correct and the program is running as it should.
