Problem

Symptoms: When importing .WPG files from Hotshot 1.5, if the width is set and height is auto, the height is set for margin to margin. These same files worked fine with WP 5.0. If both width and height are set, the figure disappears. The customer did find that if the original Hotshot file (as opposed to a file with the graphic in it) was taken back into Hotshot and saved again with the size set at less than large (i.e., small or medium), the file seemed to come into WP 5.1 fine. A customer reports that graphics that appear fine in WP 5.0 documents do not view or print properly in WP 5.1. The graphics in question originate from a screen capture utility called HotShot graphics which save in a WPG format. Solutions: The file was defined with coordinates of 5200 wide and 37,572 high. When you divide these numbers by WP units (1/1200) to determine inches, the image is 4 1/3" wide by 31" high. These coordinates did not match the ratio from the bitmapped section of the file which were 1300w/2080h. This means the image width was supposed to be roughly two-thirds the height. The ratio of 4 1/3" to 31" does not even come close to this. This is a problem with Hotshot's conversion. NOTE: This problem was corrected with Hotshot version 1.72 (the current version is 1.73). Please have the customer contact the manufacturer.
