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

Problem

Symptoms: In menus where there is a text box with a list button to the right of it, clicking on the list button causes the directory lists or file lists to come up blank. For example, under File|Preferences|Location of Files, to the right of the Backup Files text box is a list button. After the user clicks once on the list button, WPWin brings up a directory list or file list. Sometimes after the customer installs Windows 3.1 over Windows 3.0, this list is blank. Solutions: One reported fix is to close or minimize WPWin, click on Control Panel|Color, and change the Color Scheme to something different than what is currently selected. Then click on OK, go back into Color, and re-select the previous color scheme. After doing this, the file list in WPWin should appear with files in it, and it should be dimmed.
