The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The Readme.wp file contains information which is not contained in the User's Guide, or in the online help. Solutions: ================================================================= README.WP 08/08/95 ================================================================= This README file contains the following information: * DOS Requirements * Setting up WordPerfect as an Application under SoftSolutions * Starting WordPerfect with Fax Drivers under SoftSolutions * Display driver resolution and color depth when you run WordPerfect 6.1 under Windows95 * Running WordPerfect 6.1 as an Icon under Windows95 * A List of Additional README Files * Where to Find What's New In WordPerfect 6.1 DOS REQUIREMENTS ================ WordPerfect 6.1 for DOS requires DOS version 3.1 or higher to function properly. SETTING UP WORDPERFECT AS AN APPLICATION UNDER SOFTSOLUTIONS ============================================================ You must set up WordPerfect as an application under SoftSolutions 4.0a in order to use the SoftSolutions integration features. This setup requires the use of the following startup options in an application profile: Code: WP61 Description: WordPerfect 6.1 Command Line: c:\wp61\wp.exe (or the directory name where you in- stalled WP) /sr=%r[%u~%p%f~%d~%n~%v~%m~120~%va~%in~%dl] %i Preview Command: %o@ssviewer.bat %u %p%f %d %n %o Location Segment: wp61int STARTING WORDPERFECT WITH FAX DRIVERS UNDER SOFTSOLUTIONS ========================================================= If you are running WordPerfect under SoftSolutions with fax drivers loaded (such as FAXDIR and FAXB), we recommend increasing the "FILES=" statement in your CONFIG.SYS to at least 50. DISPLAY DRIVER RESOLUTION AND COLOR DEPTH WITH WORDPERFECT 6.1 UNDER WINDOWS95 ========================================= If you run WordPerfect 6.1 under Windows95, you need to use the same display resolution and color depth for Graphics mode in both WordPerfect 6.1 and Windows95. For example, if you select a 256 color display driver in WordPerfect 6.1 and a 65,535 color display driver in Windows95, you may experience display and program switching (Alt+Tab) problems. You should not encounter the same display problems when you are in text mode. RUNNING WORDPERFECT 6.1 AS A DESKTOP OBJECT (ICON) UNDER WINDOWS95 ===================================== When you run WordPerfect 6.1 as a desktop object (icon) under Windows95, use the following settings: Memory Properties ================= Set Conventional Memory to Auto. Set Initial Environment to Auto. Use Expanded EMS Memory and set to it to the available system maximum (Available System Max). If you encounter a memory error, or want switch to other applications, you can then reduce the memory assigned to this option. Set Extended XMS Memory to Auto. Make sure MS-DOS Protected Mode Memory is set to Available System Max. If you encounter a memory error, or want switch to other applications, you can then reduce the memory assigned to this option. Screen Properties ================= Set Usage to Full-Screen. Set Initial Size to Default. Check all Window and Performance check boxes. These settings enable you to use several WordPerfect 6.1 options. For example, if you are using Microsoft Client Network drivers that log onto the network automatically at the start of Windows95, you can use Ctrl+F1 to go to DOS and still be attached to the network and work in a "pseudo" DOS environment with DOS commands. However, sound is not available when you run WordPerfect under any version of Windows. Troubleshooting =============== If you run WordPerfect 6.1 under Windows95, make sure to install your TrueType font files in some other subdirectory than \WINDOWS\FONTS or \WINDOWS\SYSTEM. Windows95 does not let WordPerfect 6.1 use .TTF files that are already being used for Windows. Consequently, you need to maintain two copies of these fonts: one for Windows95, and another for WordPerfect 6.1. If you have implemented the above settings and you still experience problems using WordPerfect 6.1 under Windows95, you may want to add a /DU option to the command line under the desktop object program settings file. The /DU option prevents WordPerfect from loading any program files into the upper memory block (UMB). If you start WordPerfect 6.1 from the WIN95 DOS command line, add the /DU option there. If you try to print from WordPerfect 6.1 under Windows95 and nothing prints, make sure that the Windows printer has not been paused or deselected. If it has, WordPerfect 6.1 receives no indication that the printer is not receiving the print job. Consequently, WordPerfect 6.1 sends the print job and it is accepted, but nothing prints. The Windows printer must be selected and ready before you can print from WordPerfect 6.1.
