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

Problem

Symptoms: Text patterns created in WordPerfect 5.1 for Windows using the Color option do not print the same in WP 5.1 DOS as they do in WP 5.1 Win. Solutions: The documents are not printing the same because the WP 5.1 DOS document was using a Color code of 1%,0%,0%, and the WP 5.1 Win document was using Black (0%,0%,0%) code. The printer driver is written to send a pattern to the printer based on the percentages being used. The customer was using the Color options in WP 5.1 Win based on the Color options used in WP 5.1 DOS. WP 5.1 DOS uses percentages to select color. WP 5.1 Win uses the color capabilities based on how Windows interprets them. There is no longer a percentage of Red, Green, or Blue. Instead you specify a number between 0 to 255 to select the color combination (p.562 WPWin manual). The colors selected, along with the hue, lumination, and saturation are converted to a color percentage that the WP printer driver can recognize (i.e if you select Red = 2, Green = 0, Blue = 0, hue = 0, saturation = 100, and lumination = 0, WP will insert a color code of 1%,0%,0%).
