WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer created a full-page graphics box with 10% gray shading and the Wrap Text Around Box option set to No. Then, the customer typed text over the top of the box. The first line of text in the box does not print on the customer's PostScript printer, but everything prints fine on the laser printer. Solutions: This problem occurs because of the way that PostScript printers print. PostScript printers set both the black and white pixels for printing, instead of just the black pixels like most other printers. When the document is printed, the first line of text is drawn, then the graphics box is drawn. The shading pattern is printed over the text, thus appearing to erase the text. The customer can print the document correctly by using the following steps when creating the graphics box: 1. When inserting text, first press Enter to move down one line 2. Use the Advance feature to advance the cursor up one line 3. Enter the text This will force the graphic to be drawn first, so that all the text is printed on top of the shading. This problem has also occurred on an HP LaserJet III.
