WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: WordPerfect files print as garbage through a Novell network. A Capture command was being used. The problem was that the customer was not using NT in the Capture command. When NT was added, the files printed fine. This solution also resolved the problems of words being misplaced horizontally, graphics not printing correctly, and characters created with the Hebrew Language Module printing as garbage when they were printed over a network. The NT command indicates to the network "No Tabs". When WordPerfect sends a Tab code to the printer, it sends a Binary 8 code. The network then interprets the Binary 8 and prints the network specified number of spaces for a tab. The problem occurs when the Binary 8 code is used by WP for more than just tabs. Graphics, for example, may also use the code. When the job is sent, the communication appears the same to the network for both tabs and graphics and will therefore give the undesirable printed results. Using NT in the Capture command will eliminate the problem. Note: This information also applies to WordPerfect for Windows.
