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

Problem

Symptoms: A customer is having problems printing WordPerfect 5.0 documents in WP 5.1 using a font cartridge. Solutions: The program is working as designed. WordPerfect is purposely remembering the original font the document was created with. This is part of the smart document feature. The document prefix is what is trying to load the old soft font because that font was the 5.0 initial font. Go into Shift-F8, 3 for document, and 3 for Initial Base Font (it will probably list the old soft font), and change the setting to the desired font. Press F10 to save the change, and print it out. A different option would be to load the 5.0 document using the Space Bar retrieve, which would automatically apply the 5.1 prefix settings to the document. Then save the document and print it out; it should print properly.
