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

Problem

Symptoms: When the customer places graphic boxes in a table and rotates the text inside the box, the text prints in the wrong position on an HP LaserJet IIISi. If Graphics Quality is set to High (Shift-F7, G, H), the graphics print correctly. Solutions: When WordPerfect prints a document, it analyzes its position. If it is already at the vertical or horizontal position, it will not resend the code to the printer. This is good in most cases because there is no reason to send a horizontal motion code to a printer if it is already at that position. In this customer's document, WP had already printed some graphic lines. It then sent a rotation command to print the rotated text. When WP looked to see if a horizontal motion command needed to be sent for the text, it found it was still at that position, so it did not send it again. Even though WP thought the printer was at a certain position, it actually wasn't. The problem can be corrected by putting in a REPOSITION command after the Orientation command. REPOSITION forces a horizontal and vertical reset in WP. Since the positions are at 0, WP will send the position command each time it rotates. The steps to correct this are as follows: 1. Retrieve the .ALL file into the PTR Program and press Alt-F8 (Global string variables) 2. Cursor to HP3ORIENT, cursor into the expression box, and then cursor to the end of the printer string 3. Type REPOSITION 4. Exit, save, and replace 5. Update in WP (Shift-F7, S, U) This has been logged in as printer Development #1576, and will be fixed if there is another release of the printer drivers after 07/12/91.
