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

Problem

Solutions: Converting documents with line draw from 4.2 to 5.0 may not work well, if the documents were forms that were created using line draw the 4.2 line printer 17 pitch font.

When the files are converted to 5.0 or 5.1 the slight change from the limited 4.2 font of 17 pitch to the more exact 5.0 font of line printer 16.66 pitch causes the text and the line draw to move and not line up.

The problem document also had tabs in the line draw that were converting over a little different than they were in 4.2, but on the document screen and in view document, the converted file showed everything correct. When the document is printed the text writes over the vertical lines and the vertical lines are not lining up.

PC Testing stated that the problem was because of limitations in 4.2 caused by the 17 pitch font.
