-
- I work in WordPerfect. Bet your problem is WP. What is your
- default printer? (Shift F7) What is the default font? (edit)
- Pick a small one! 12cpi or 10 points. What are default margins?
- See setup (Shift F1) initial settings (4) and initial codes (5).
-
- When you call up an ascii file - List Files (F5) and select it
- (Ctrl F5) (best) or (1) your document gets formatted as
- specified in all these places and hard returns inserted as
- necessary to conform.
-
- There is an alternate way to call up an ascii file, which may
- solve the immediate problem. Directly from the screen, (Ctrl
- F5) Dos text (1) Retrieve CR/LF to [Srt] (3) Document: C:\etc.
-
- Remember, you can install any printer into the program, if you
- want to see what another printer selection can offer you.
-
- The above remarks apply to WP5.1 and 5.0.
-
- Best, Dag
