WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: When you print through Windows using a Windows printer driver and a PostScript printer, landscape text is rotated 180 degrees (upside down) from the way it prints with a WordPerfect printer driver. Will the WP drivers be changed to print the same way the Windows drivers do? Solutions: In early WP 5.0 programs, Development decided to rotate landscape text 90 degrees to be consistent with the way the HP LaserJet prints. Currently, this is being reviewed. If a change is made to the printer drivers, it will probably not be made in WP 5.1 DOS so documents already created aren't affected. The decision to change this will be made on a printer by printer basis. Meanwhile, the following may be done to help rotate landscape text in the other direction: 1. Enter the PTR Program 2. Retrieve the .ALL file or the .PRS file 3. Press Alt-F8 to go to Global String Variables 4. Highlight Prologue, press Enter, then Ctrl-Enter to edit 5. Cursor down until you find the line starting with /_ornt 6. You will see three lines starting with orntsv 1 eq orntsv 2 eq orntsv 3 eq then three more lines starting with dup 1 eq dup 2 eq dup 3 eq Replace all the 1's with 3's and all the 3's with 1's 7. Exit, save the file, and if the customer made the changes to the .ALL file, update the .PRS file in WP 5.1 DOS (Shift-F7, S, U) NOTE: Some printer drivers may be accessing a different Prologue. Please check under Printer Commands|Initialize at Start of Print Job|Expression after retrieving the printer driver to see what prologue variable is being used. An example would be the IBM 4029 printers that use the PROLOGUE.IBM variable rather than just the prologue variable.
