WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer is using Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) graphics that were created in Adobe Illustrator. Some of these graphics are compressed top to bottom when imported into WordPerfect. Solutions: The customer's graphics are approximately 9" tall and 1.5" wide. When imported into WP, they are being set to 3" to 3.5" wide. This means that they would have to be about 24" tall to be proportionally correct. Changing the size to Auto Both in the graphics definition menu fixes the problem. If the image is very tall and narrow, it will import compressed vertically.

If the customer would like WP to decrease the width of the box automatically to keep tall and narrow images proportional when imported, an enhancement request should be written.

An EPS file from CorelDRAW placed in a figure box in WordPerfect 5.1 for Windows displays correctly in Print Preview, but the graphic printed squished inside the box. This problem occurred only when the user set the size options to Vertical Position - Full Page, Horizontal Position - Margin Full, and Set Both for Width and Height. The customer was setting the size of the graphics box to be considerably different that the actual size of the graphics image. This resulted in the graphic printing out squished or compressed. Setting either the Width or Height of the box, or both, to Auto will correct the problem.
