The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: Using Compose (or the Equation Editor) to print brackets and braces: in Character Set 7 - 118, 119, 120; 25, 26, 27, 28, 33, 34, 35, and 36. Character 120 prints 1/8" to the left, 28 prints 1/32" to the left, 36 prints 1/32" to the left. View document shows it correctly. She has tried using Swiss 9pt., Swiss 10pt., Courier, 10pt., and New Century Schoolbook 10pt. Using Tabs with Justification to Left she tried using Equation Editor. No change in the results. The Lasermaster 1000 (1000 dpi Add'l) driver has no values mapped and appears to be printing graphically. The user has the actual Lasermaster 1000 printer PKL ver. 2.13 and version 3.0 of software for Lasermaster. She tried using all the Lasermaster drivers with the same result. She also tried using a Lasermaster 1000 dpi 35 font driver from Lasermaster. Solutions: This turned out to be a problem with character cell alignment between WordPerfect and LaserMaster. Some of the characters the customer was using were being accessed by LM, and some were being produced graphically by WP. Each manufacturer has a different idea of how these characters are to be placed in the cell and the widths they should have. The customer can delete out the values in character map 7 using the PTR program. The steps are to retrieve the .ALL file into the PTR program and Press F4 (Character maps). Go to the LMSymbol map and then to character map 7. Delete the values found for any characters in this map. Exit, Save, Replace in PTR, and Update (Shift-F7, S, 7) in WP.
