Problem

Solutions: In the PTR program for both 5.0 and 5.1 the option exists to change the redline character when using the WP Redline on Separate Pass method. The WordPerfect Printer Definition Program: A Technical Reference manual mentions on page 141 that you can enter a value for any WP character (from the WP Character sets) by using a formula and entering the result of that formula in brackets. However, you must enter the number without brackets, otherwise the error message "Error: Number Is Too Big" results. I tried this with a customer who also got the same results. In other words, the number or value from the formula should NOT be entered in brackets and this error message will then be avoided and the character will print. The steps for this process are as follows: 1. Enter PTR program and retrieve .PRS file 2. Enter Attributes and choose Redline (do not enter AFC) 3. Enter WP's Redline Method 4. Delete the string of codes for the current redline method 5. Type the value of the character desired. This value is a result of a mathematical formula. For example, if the character desired is 3,2, then this is the formula to be used: [(256 x 3) + 2]=770. 3 represents the character set and 2 represents the value of the character in that set. 770 is the value to be entered. 6. Exit to the previous screen and mark WP's Redline Method with an asterisk (*) 7. Exit PTR and save .PRS file
