Problem

A customer with a VGA display card was unable to select the 512 Characters/8 Foreground Colors under Setup|Display|Colors/Fonts/Attributes. The customer had WP=MONO in his AUTOEXEC.BAT file. After removing the WP=MONO and rebooting, he was then able to select the 512 Character Display. Because the customer had a monochrome monitor, he was prompted to put the WP=MONO in his AUTOEXEC.BAT file when installing the program. Customers using the Russian, Greek, or Arabic Language Module, attempting to select the 512 character display may encounter this problem. Another customer was unable to select the 512 character option on the Setup: Colors/Fonts menu. He was using a color graphics card with a monochrome monitor. He exited WordPerfect, changed to the DOS directory, and typed MODE CO80. This allowed the customer to select the 512 Character option so he could see the Russian or Greek characters when using his language modules. *This information is given as a troubleshooting option.
