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

Problem

Symptoms: If different colors are used for a sentence that is surrounded by Shadow codes, all of the colored text will print in the shade of the last color selected. The customer is using the HP LaserJet III printer. Solutions: The HP LaserJet III printer uses WordPerfect's Shadow method on a separate pass (which is an offset method). Everything surrounding the Shadow On and Off codes will be sent to the printer based on the number of passes specified with an offset used for each pass. If the words "This Test" are surrounded by the Shadow codes, and the offset is 3, the printer will receive This Test This Test This Test. Since WP sends the entire phrase down to the printer, the variable used for color will only be used once. The last color is the one that the printer will use. The only solution around this limitation is to encompass each word with Shadow On and Off codes.
