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

Problem

Symptoms: The customer can only get a black and white display in WordPerfect on their AST Executive 386SX 20 Laptop. A customer with an AST Advantage laptop with an LCD display is also having this problem. These customers should be able to get eight foreground and eight background colors. Solutions: AST has a utility disk that comes with their computer. On this disk, there is a program called ASTIVGA.COM that gives the user several display setup options. One of the options is the Text-Attribute setting. If the user selects Automap, the colors will be turned into shades of gray. After selecting this option, the user must exit to DOS and warm boot. Then, they can access the eight foreground and eight background shades in WP.
