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

Problem

Solutions: When you use this procedure, WordPerfect creates an intermediate PostScript file when the printing function is performed. A batch file named WP!.BAT is included with the Freedom of Press package. If you run WordPerfect by typing WP!, Freedom of Press is invoked automatically to print and then deletes all filenames with a .PS extension in the \FREEDOM\PS subdirectory when you leave WordPerfect. Detailed instructions are contained in the following procedure. 1. Start WordPerfect by typing WP! at the DOS prompt and prepare your document in the usual manner. 2. When you are ready to print, press Shift-F7 to view the Printer Settings menu. It should show Apple Laserwriter Plus if you are using Version 5.0 or 5.1 of WordPerfect or LaserWriter if you are using Version 4.2 as the selected printer with output to a file \FREEDOM\PS\001.PS. If these are correct, select the other print parameters such as number of pages, copies, etc., and finish printing. If not, proceed to step 3, otherwise skip to step 6. 3. With Versions 5.0 and 5.1 only, if the printer or file specifications in the previous step are incorrect, move the cursor to Apple Laserwriter Plus and select Edit(3) to display the list of settings for that printer. With Version 4.2 only, if the printer or file specifications in the previous step are incorrect, select LaserWriter by typing the number next to it on the menu. 4. With Versions 5.0 and 5.1 only, select Port(2) then Other(8) and enter a filename (e.g., C:\FREEDOM\PS\001.PS). Press F7 twice to exit. With Version 4.2 only, press Enter, then select Device or File Pathname (8) ad enter (e.g., C:\FREEDOM\PS\001.PS). You must specify this pathname exactly as shown for Freedom of Press to print automatically. 5. Ensure that the other print parameters such as number of pages, copies, etc., are set correctly and finish printing. 6. After WordPerfect has finished creating the PostScript printer file, exit the program. At this point Freedom of Press runs and asks if you want to print now. If you answer no, it exits, otherwise it prints all files with a .PS filename extension in the \FREEDOM\PS directory. These files are deleted after printing. Files which were saved with a filename extension other than .PS are not automatically printed or deleted. These must be printed manually using the FP! command (which is explained in detail in the Running Freedom of Press with Other PostScript Files section).
