NOTES ON UPGRADING FROM WPWIN 6.0 TO 6.1
========================================
If WPWin 6.0 or 6.0a is already installed on your computer, WPWin
6.1 will be installed in the same directories unless you specify
otherwise. Version 6.1 will overwrite version 6.0/6.0a. See
Installation of Existing Files later in this README for
information about installing in existing directories.
If for some reason you want to install version 6.1 in different
directories from version 6.0/6.0a, you may either perform a
standard installation and choose a different drive, or perform a
custom installation and change the directories.
If you perform a standard installation but specify a different
drive for version 6.1 than the drive used for version 6.0/6.0a,
only the WordPerfect program files for version 6.1 will be
installed to the new drive. The PerfectFit files (or shared
program files) for version 6.1 will be installed in the location
currently used for version 6.0/6.0a's shared program files, and
the WordPerfect program files for version 6.0/6.0a will remain
intact on your disk drive. If you run version 6.0/6.0a using the
PerfectFit files of version 6.1, the Button Bar in version
6.0/6.0a will look different, but it will still be fully
functional.
If you perform a custom installation, you can specify new
directories for version 6.1's PerfectFit files (or shared program
files) as well as its WordPerfect program files. The shared
program files and WordPerfect program files for version 6.0/6.0a
will remain intact in their current directories.
The WordPerfect setup program determines whether version 6.0/6.0a
is already installed by checking the WIN.INI and REG.DAT files on
your computer.
Running Versions 6.1 and 6.0/6.0a on the Same Computer
------------------------------------------------------
WordPerfect, the Novell Applications Group, recognises that new
versions of software programs such as WPWin 6.1 may require some
time for training and transition, especially in large
organisations. Therefore, the Software License Agreement allows
you to have both the current version and the prior version on
your computer, as long as you do not run both versions at the
same time. Please be aware of the following items if you run
both versions of WPWin on the same computer.
- WPWin 6.1 includes Grammatik version 6.0 (WPWin 6.0/6.0a
included Grammatik version 5.0). Once Grammatik 6.0 is
installed, it is the only version of Grammatik you can use. For
example, if you run Grammatik from within WPWin 6.0/6.0a, you
will be running Grammatik version 6.0 instead of version 5.0.
- WPWin 6.1 includes new fonts for the Multinational character
set. Only the fonts from version 6.1 are available once this
version is installed. When you run WPWin 6.0/6.0a, you may see
empty boxes on the screen in place of some multinational
characters.
- WPWin 6.0/6.0a and 6.1 can use the same .BIF file. Preferences
for version 6.1 will be stored in the WordPerfect 6.1 group in
the .BIF file.
- You will experience the least disruption to your 6.0/6.0a
environment if you use different shared code (or PerfectFit
files) and different .BIF files for WPWin 6.0/6.0a and WPWin 6.1.
Use the /wpc startup option to specify the location of the shared
code or PerfectFit files, and use the /pi startup option to
specify the location of the .BIF files. See Appendix F: Startup
Options in the WPWin 6.1 User's Guide for information about using
startup options.
- Both the Draw and Chart modules of WP Draw are updated when you
install WPWin 6.1. TextArt is also updated. You may encounter
problems editing drawings, charts, or TextArt objects in version
6.0/6.0a. See the notes below for more information.
Notes on Using WP Draw in WPWin 6.0 After Installing WPWin 6.1
--------------------------------------------------------------
Please keep the following tips in mind if you need to edit
drawings, charts, or TextArt objects in documents that are
exchanged between WPWin 6.0/6.0a and WPWin 6.1.
- When you are running WPWin 6.1 and you edit a drawing or chart
created in WPWin 6.0/6.0a, that drawing or chart is converted
automatically to WP Draw 3.0 format (WPWin 6.0/6.0a used WP Draw
2.1 format). Likewise, TextArt objects created in WPWin 6.0/6.0a
are converted to TextArt 2.0 format when edited in WPWin 6.1
(WPWin 6.0/6.0a used TextArt 1.0 format).
- You cannot edit a WP Draw 3.0 drawing or chart, or a TextArt
2.0 object, in WPWin 6.0/6.0a.
- To determine the format version for a drawing, chart, or
TextArt object from within WPWin 6.0/6.0a, right-click on it and
notice the first item on the QuickMenu.
If the QuickMenu reads The format is *
------------------------------ ------------------
Activate WP Graphic 2.1 Object Draw 2.1 Drawing
WP Chart 2.1 Object Draw 2.1 Chart
Edit TextArt Object TextArt 1.0 Object
Edit WP Draw 3.0 Drawing Object Draw 3.0 Drawing
WP Draw 3.0 Chart Object Draw 3.0 Chart
Edit TextArt 2.0 Document Object TextArt 2.0 Object
* Tables in this README file are formatted for display in the
setup program. Columns may be misaligned if you retrieve the
file into a text editor.
When you want to edit a drawing, chart, or TextArt object in
WPWin 6.0/6.0a, it's always a good idea to right-click on it and
check the QuickMenu first. That way you can tell whether the
object is still in the old format. If it's not in the old
format, do not edit it in WPWin 6.0/6.0a.
WPWIN 6.1 ENHANCEMENTS
======================
For a summary of enhancements since the initial release of WPWin
6.0, as well as a summary of changes since version 5.2, see
What's New in Help (in WordPerfect, choose Contents from the Help
menu, choose Additional Help, then choose What's New).
The following enhancements have been made to WPWin since version
6.0a.
PERFECTOFFICE 3.0 INTEGRATION -- WPWin 6.1 shares a common user
interface with other PerfectOffice 3.0 applications. This
includes changes to the menus, Toolbar (formerly called Button
Bar), Power Bar, and status bar. The appearance of the dialog
boxes has been slightly modified, too.
Changes to the menus include the following: Preferences has been
moved from the File menu to the Edit menu, Select Printer has
been moved from the File menu to the Select button on the Print
dialog box, QuickFinder has been removed from the File menu (it's
still available from the Open File and Save As dialog boxes), the
Layout menu has been renamed Format, and the positions of the
Tools and Table menus have been swapped.
OLE 2.0 -- WPWin 6.1's support for Object Linking and Embedding
(OLE) version 2.0 improves in-place editing, drag-and-drop across
programs and document windows, and linking or embedding of any
OLE object. TextArt and WP Draw both make use of OLE 2.0.
You can press the Alt key while double-clicking an OLE object to
edit the object using open editing. This is not mentioned in the
WPWin 6.1 User's Guide.
WP DRAW -- Both the Draw and Chart modules in WP Draw have been
updated. See the WPWin 6.1 User's Guide and the online Help in
WP Draw for more information. If you have Presentations 3.0
installed on your computer, it can function as your graphics
editor in place of WP Draw. Whichever program was installed or
run last, either WP Draw or Presentations, will be registered as
your graphics editor in WordPerfect.
FIND AND REPLACE -- The Find and Replace dialog boxes have been
combined into a single dialog box.
GRAMMATIK -- The Grammatik grammar checker included with
WordPerfect has been updated to version 6.0. Grammatik 6.0
identifies grammar errors in your document and then rewrites
sentences for you when you click Replace.
TEMPLATES -- Templates have been made more accessible. Now when
you choose New from the File menu, you can immediately select a
template, or you can create a blank document as you've always
done.
QUICKFORMAT -- Now when you use QuickFormat to copy the
formatting of one heading to other headings in your document,
those headings are formatted with a QuickFormat style. When you
change the style in one place, the same style is updated
automatically in the rest of the document.
UNDO AND REDO -- A Redo feature has been added, and Undo has been
enhanced to catalog up to 300 of your last editing and formatting
actions, so you can go back and undo or redo anything you decide
to change.
TEMPLATE MACROS -- Macros assigned to templates are now a
separate category on the Tools menu from macros that are stored
in files.
CUT AND PASTE -- Cut and Paste now "clean up" after themselves by
adding or deleting spaces where needed when you cut, paste, or
drag and drop words and phrases.
MERGE - The new Merge option in File Preferences lets you specify
a default file extension for merge forms and data files. Also, a
REPEATROW command has been added to make it easier to merge
information into a table from a data file.
POWER BAR -- The Power Bar is now implemented as a specialised
Toolbar and is edited using the Toolbar Editor.
SELECTING A PRINTER -- The Select Printer dialog box has been
modified, and a Windows Default Printer option has been added.
REFORMATTING DOCUMENTS FOR THE SELECTED PRINTER -- WordPerfect
now displays a message when it reformats a document for the
selected printer. The option "Reformat Documents for Default
Printer on Open" has been moved from the Environment Preferences
dialog box to the Print Preferences dialog box.
TABLES -- You can now use spreadsheet-like row and column
indicators to select rows, columns, or the entire table. You can
automatically size a column to the width of a selected cell or to
the width of the cell with the largest number of characters.
QUICKFINDER -- The QuickFinder dialog box has been enhanced and
is now easier to use.
QUICKCORRECT -- QuickCorrect can now make several types of
sentence corrections for you, such as capitalising the first
letter, changing two spaces between words to a single space, and
changing a single space to a double space (or the other way
around) at the end of a sentence.
WATERMARKS -- A Shading button has been added to the Watermark
feature bar so that you can easily adjust the shading (or
brightness) of a watermark. When you create or edit a watermark,
WordPerfect now zooms automatically to full page view.
HELP -- The online Help includes an expanded How Do I section, an
Examples index, and Coaches you can select while you are in Help.
GRAPHICS IMAGE BOX -- Image has replaced Figure as the default
graphics box type.
TILING WINDOWS -- Using the Window menu, you can tile windows
vertically as well as horizontally.
IMAGE SCANNER SUPPORT -- If you are using an image scanner with a
TWAIN compatible driver, you can now scan images directly into
WordPerfect.
ODMA SUPPORT -- Support for Open Document Management API (ODMA)
provides tight integration with document management software,
most notably SoftSolutions.
UNC FOR SHARED CODE -- You can now specify the location for
shared code using Universal Naming Convention (UNC). However, if
you have installed GroupWise 4.1 or you plan to continue
using WordPerfect 6.0a for Windows on the network, do not use
Universal Naming Convention (UNC) when specifying the location
for shared code. If you do, GroupWise 4.1 and WordPerfect 6.0a
will not run unless WordPerfect 6.1 is already running.
NEW COACHES -- Coaches have been added for the following
features: Columns, Styles, Templates, and Watermarks.
CONVERSION DRIVERS -- Conversion drivers have been added for the
following word processor, spreadsheet, and database formats:
Microsoft Word for Windows 6.x, Quattro Pro for Windows 5.0 and
6.0, dBase V, Fox Pro 2.5, and Paradox 5.0.
WORDPERFECT CHARACTER SETS -- New typefaces have been added for
better font matching in the Multinational character set.
WordPerfect now matches Roman, Helvetica, and Courier font
styles. Also, four characters have been added to the end of the
Hebrew character set.
ABOUT WORDPERFECT DIALOG BOX -- The About WordPerfect dialog box,
available from the Help menu, now can list your Personal
Identification Number (PIN) so you can have easy access to it for
Customer Support Services.
QUATTRO PRO BUTTON -- If you have Quattro Pro installed on your
system when you install WordPerfect, your default Toolbar will
include a button for Quattro Pro. This button appears in place
of the TextArt button.
WPWIN 6.1 ADDITIONS
===================
The following features have been added to WPWin since version
6.0a.
WORD FORMS -- WordPerfect now can use word forms in the Find and
Replace, Thesaurus, and QuickFinder features. For example, using
the Word Forms option in Find and Replace, you can search for the
word forms of "go" to find "go," "goes," "going," "gone," and
"went," or you can replace all word forms of "run" with "walk" to
replace "run" with "walk," "runs" with "walks," "ran" with
"walked," and so on.
Thesaurus lets you look up words using any form. When you select
a new word, Thesaurus inserts it in the same form as the original
word. For example, if you look up the word "processing,"
WordPerfect will recognise it as a form of "process." If you
replace it with a form of "operation," WordPerfect will insert
the correct form "operating."
With QuickFinder, you can now find files on your hard drive or
network that contain any form of a specified word.
DOCUMENT EXPERTS -- Advanced templates called Document Experts
have been added to simplify the process of creating many common
documents, such as letters, calendars, and fax cover sheets.
TABLE EXPERT -- The new Table Expert offers predefined table
formats that you can quickly apply to your tables.
MAKE IT FIT EXPERT -- The new Make It Fit Expert reformats your
document to fit on the number of pages you want it to.
CHARTS AND AUTO UPDATE TABLES -- You can now create a chart from
a table in your document, and have the chart automatically update
when you make changes to the table.
DROP CAP -- The DropCap macro has been replaced with a new Drop
Cap feature that offers 12 predefined styles of drop caps for
paragraph beginnings and also lets you customise your own.
DRAG TO CREATE -- With Drag to Create, you can insert images and
size any type of graphics box by clicking and dragging anywhere
in your document.
OPEN AS COPY -- An Open as Copy check box has been added to the
Open File dialog box. This option lets you open a read-only copy
of a document. You can then use the document as a model for a
new document without worrying that you will overwrite and lose
the original document.
FEATURE HISTORIES -- WordPerfect gives you easy access to your
last 10 search strings in Find and Replace; the last 10 macros
you played, recorded, or edited; the last 10 files you opened;
and any number of custom Sort definitions--right from the dialog
boxes.
/DTF STARTUP OPTION -- The /dtf startup option tells WordPerfect
to use the Document Initial Font specified in the default
template, instead of the Printer Initial Font, each time you
create a new document using the default template. Unless this
startup option is specified, the default template always uses the
Printer Initial Font as its initial font. This startup option
was not included in Appendix F: Startup Options in the WPWin 6.1
User's Guide.
OTHER WPWIN 6.1 CHANGES
=======================
Besides the enhancements and additions listed above, the
following other changes have been made to WPWin since version
6.0a.
TRANSITION TEMPLATES -- The templates WP51DOS.WPT, WP60DOS.WPT,
WPAMIPRO.WPT, WPWIN52.WPT, and WPWORD.WPT have been removed.
OTHER TEMPLATES -- WPLITE.WPT and WORKGRP.WPT have also been
removed.
TRANSITION ADVISOR -- Transition Advisor has been renamed Upgrade
Expert.
WORDPERFECT PRINTER DRIVERS -- WordPerfect printer drivers are no
longer available under a custom installation. To install
WordPerfect printer drivers, run the setup program again, choose
Install, choose Options, then choose Printers. Also, the files
WP60DM08.ALL, WP60HP02.ALL, and WP60PS02.ALL have been removed.
CONVERSION DRIVERS -- Several conversion drivers for word
processing and spreadsheet formats have been eliminated from the
standard installation and made available only under a custom
installation. For more information, see Conversion Drivers in
README.FIL.
GRAPHICS FILES -- Several .WPG files have been removed.
TRUETYPE FONTS -- The following TrueType fonts have been removed:
Brush 738 (TT0806M_.TTF), Blackletter 686 (TT1044M_.TTF),
Bitstream Arrus Black (TT1149M_.TTF), and Bitstream Arrus Black
Italic (TT1150M_.TTF).
INSTALLATION OF EXISTING FILES
==============================
When installing WordPerfect 6.1 for Windows into an existing
directory, WordPerfect checks for any existing template, macro,
or graphics files that have the same filename as the file that is
being installed. Instead of overwriting the file, WordPerfect
will rename the existing file using <name-of-file>.!?? as the
naming convention. For example, the existing file DRAGN.WPG is
renamed DRAGN.!PG.
To determine if a file already exists, WordPerfect checks the
date of any .WPT, .WCM, or .WPG file that has the same name as
the file being installed. If the file has a different date, a
backup copy will be made of that file. Note that the Environment
files (files with a .ENV extension) are also backed up and new
Environment files created.
NOTE: If you have modified the STANDARD.WPT file since
originally installing WPWin 6.0/6.0a, the following changes will
be made to that file when you install WPWin 6.1:
1) A new STANDARD.WPT file that is included with WPWin 6.1 will
be merged with your modified file of the same name, creating an
updated STANDARD.WPT file. The merge will accept any new objects
that you have created for the template, such as a new Toolbar,
but it does not merge with modified objects, such as the
WordPerfect default Toolbar.
2) Your modified file from WPWin 6.0 will be renamed to
STANDOLD.WPT.
3) The new STANDARD.WPT file that is included with WPWin 6.1
will be renamed to STAND61.WPT.
4) The files STANDOLD.WPT and STAND61.WPT will be moved to the
OLDTEMPS subdirectory of your WPWin 6.1 Template Files directory,
along with any other templates you created in WPWin 6.0/6.0a.
THE DDEML.DLL FILE
==================
We are aware of conflicts with a Windows file titled DDEML.DLL
dated 4/22/92. The correct version of this file should be found
in your Windows System directory (for example,
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM). If the above file is found in your Windows
directory, and the correct version is found in the Windows System
directory, the file will automatically be deleted from the
Windows directory.
MACRO HELP
===========
If you are installing WPWin 6.1 for the first time on your
system, and you choose the standard installation, the online
macros manual (or Macro Help) will not be installed. The WPWin
6.1 online macros manual is available only under a custom
installation.
Macro capability has been added to WP Draw. The Macro Help file
for WP Draw is available only on the Utilities Disk. To order
the Utilities disk, call one of the Sales Center numbers listed
below.
In the UK call -- 0932 821421
In Australia call -- (02) 925 3804 or 1 800 060 374
MODIFYING THE PERSONAL INFORMATION DIALOG BOX IN TEMPLATES
==========================================================
When you create your own templates, you can edit the _AUTOFIL.WCM
macro to add or delete fields in the Personal Information dialog
box. However, you cannot modify the fields in the Personal
Information dialog box used by WPWin's built-in Autofill feature.
USING WORDPERFECT OUTLINES IN PRESENTATIONS 3.0
===============================================
You can create slide shows in Presentations 3.0 from outlines you
create in WordPerfect.
Presentations uses paragraph numbers (not styles) to distinguish
one slide from another and one level of information from another.
For example, each first level item in your outline corresponds to
the title of a new slide, and each second level item corresponds
to the next level of information on that slide, such as a bullet
point on a Bullet Chart slide.
To create an outline item in WordPerfect that will be displayed
as a subtitle in Presentations, make the outline item be a third
level item following a first level item. To do this, follow the
steps below.
1 Choose Outline from the Tools menu.
2 Type the text for the title of the slide (the first outline
item).
3 Press Enter.
4 Press Tab twice, type the text for the subtitle, then press
Enter.
5 To add bullet text (or whatever the next level of
information is for that slide), press Shift+Tab, then type
the text.
INSTALLATION OF BITSTREAM TRUETYPE FONTS
========================================
To view WPWin 6.1 templates as designed, the Bitstream TrueType
fonts must be installed. Without these fonts, system fonts will
be used, which will cause display problems. The Bitstream
TrueType fonts are installed as part of a standard installation.
If for some reason you did not install these fonts, follow the
steps below to install them.
1 Insert the diskette labeled Setup into disk drive A (or B).
2 Choose Run from the File menu in the Windows Program
Manager.
3 Type A:SETUP (or B:SETUP), then choose OK.
4 Choose Install, choose Options, then choose Fonts.
5 Make sure the Install from and Install to text boxes contain
the proper pathnames, then choose OK.
6 Follow the prompts until the fonts are installed.
WINDOWS DESKJET PRINTER DRIVERS & PRINTING ENVELOPES
====================================================
The following changes need to be made in the Paper Size dialog
box if you are printing envelopes with a Windows printer driver
on any of the following printers: HP DeskJet, HP DeskJet Plus,
HP DeskJet 500, or HP DeskJet 500c. With these printers,
Envelope #10-Wide needs to be the only paper size for envelopes.
1 Make sure the appropriate Windows printer driver is
selected.
2 Choose Page from the Format menu, then choose Paper Size.
3 Highlight Envelope #10 Landscape, choose Delete, choose Yes,
then choose Close.
Now when you print envelopes, the Envelope #10-Wide paper
size will be selected by default.
NOTE: If Envelope #10-Wide is not listed in the Paper
Definitions list box, delete all of the paper size
definitions by selecting them one by one, choosing Delete,
then choosing Yes. When all the paper size definitions are
deleted, choose Close. Then repeat the steps above. This
time when you choose Paper Size in step 2, a new list of
paper size definitions will be created, including both of
the envelope definitions.
When loading the envelope using a Windows printer driver, place
the envelope face down in the printer and gently push it under
the rollers. Do not press the envelope button(s) on the
printer's control panel to preload the envelope.
NOTE: If you are using an HP DeskJet Series (version 3.0 or 3.1)
Windows printer driver, you will not have a Manual Feed option as
described in step 5 above. Therefore, you will need to select
either the Default option or the In Tray option. Printing an
envelope that is appended to a document is not supported with an
HP DeskJet Series (version 3.0 or 3.1) Windows printer driver.
After making these changes, you can print envelopes by selecting
Envelope from the Format menu. Make sure you select the envelope
paper type from the Envelope Definitions pop-up list.
ERROR 21 WITH WINDOWS HP LASERJET 4 DRIVERS
===========================================
If an Error 21 occurs while you are printing graphics at 600 dpi
resolution on an HP LaserJet 4 family printer (while using the
Windows printer driver), we recommend that you make the following
changes to the driver settings to possibly allow the document to
print.
1 In WordPerfect, choose Print from the File menu, then choose
Select.
2 Highlight the appropriate HP LaserJet 4 Windows printer in
the Specific Printer list box.
or
Select Windows Default Printer.
3 Choose Setup from the Options drop-down list, then choose
Options.
4 Change the Graphics Mode from HP-GL/2 to Raster, then
choose OK.
5 Choose OK to exit the Setup dialog box. If your printer
has additional memory, you may consider turning on the page
protection option before exiting the Setup dialog box, then
try printing the graphic again.
6 Choose Close to return to your WordPerfect document.
SQL DATABASE IMPORT
===================
If you are importing an Access database file using spaces
(instead of an underscore character) in the field name or the
table name, make sure you place a double quote (") at the start
and end of the full name, otherwise a syntax error will occur.
The SQL database drivers that were included with WPWin 6.0/6.0a
are not included in WPWin 6.1. However, they are still
supported.
ATM FONTS UNDER WINDOWS NT
==========================
Adobe is currently not supporting ATM under Windows NT, therefore
Type 1 fonts are unavailable for use.
WPCFONT.INI FILE
================
WordPerfect 6.1 for Windows has the ability to read a .INI file
and use the information to translate and map fonts that do not
match fonts in the current font list. The purpose of this file
is to translate font names from WordPerfect 5.x and 6.x printer
drivers to windows printer drivers. The file should not be used
to store all font names that do not match since performance is
affected by the size of the file and the number of names found in
the sections.
The WPCFONT.INI file consists of three major sections:
1) Printer Name Translation
2) Printer Font Translation
3) Substitute Fonts
Printer Name Translation
------------------------
Because many printers use the same drivers in Windows and in
WordPerfect, the font translation sections for those printers
will be the same. To avoid duplication of translation sections
and to keep the file as small as possible, translation sections
are given unique names, and then printer names are equated to
those unique names. For example, many of the PostScript printers
in Windows use the same driver.
Printer Font Translation
------------------------
These sections are printer specific and list font name
translations for fonts that are the same between WordPerfect
printer drivers and Windows printer drivers. To keep the
sections as small as possible, base font names are listed with
the styles in braces. The rules of .INI files require that the
names on the left side be unique because they are key names. For
consistency, the WordPerfect driver font names are listed on the
left, and the Windows driver font names are listed on the right.
However, the order does not matter because, in trying to match a
name, both sides are compared, and if a match is made, the name
on the other side is used.
Substitution Font Section
-------------------------
This section is a general font substitution table and is checked
by WordPerfect for all printers. The table attempts to match the
name on the left side of the equation to the name from the
document. If it matches, WordPerfect then checks all of the
names on the right side for a match with the current font list.
One or more names can be listed on the right side, and
WordPerfect will search the font list until a match is found.
The names are separated by commas.
FILE ACTIVITY LOG
=================
The File Activity Log feature provides a log file that records
the date and time at which the following actions occurred:
- WordPerfect was started and exited
- Files were opened, closed, or saved (with Save or Save As)
- Changes were discarded
- New files were opened
Along with the log file, File Activity Log verifies that files
are saved correctly by DOS. File Activity Log detects problems
that may occur when DOS or some document management programs have
trouble saving a file. It then warns you that there is a problem
so you can find some other method of saving the file before you
exit WordPerfect.
File Activity Log is inoperative by default. To enable File
Activity Log, add the following lines to the [WPCorp] section of
your WIN.INI file:
FileActivityLog=1
FileActivityLogFile=filename
IMPORTANT: Specify a full pathname with the filename to ensure
that File Activity Log can always find your log file.
To disable File Activity Log, set FileActivityLog to 0 in your
WIN.INI file.
WordPerfect checks the settings for FileActivityLog and
FileActivityLogFile only when it starts up, so changes made to
the settings take effect only after you exit and restart
WordPerfect.
IMPORTANT: Information is appended to the log file as you use
WordPerfect. To preserve disk space, you should make regular
backup copies of your log files, and then delete them and start
again with new log files.
CUSTOM WINDOWS COLORS IN HELP
=============================
The WPWin Help screens were designed to use specific colors for
background, text, and so on. However, if you have customised
your Windows colors, and you would like to use those colors in
the Help screens in WPWin, you can do so by inserting the
following line in the [Windows Help] section of your WIN.INI
file:
Colors=None
RESTRICTION ON RENAMING NETWORK DIRECTORIES
===========================================
Because network directories cannot be renamed using NetWare 3.x,
you will get an error message if you are using NetWare 3.x and
you choose Rename Directory from the File Options drop-down list
on the Open File or Save As dialog box. If you want to remove
the Rename Directory option from the File Options drop-down list,
see Disabling Open File Options in README.NET.
There are no restrictions on renaming network directories with
NetWare 4.x.
OPTIMISING WPWIN 6.1
====================
Many performance issues can be resolved by configuring your
computer to run optimally under Windows. As a starting point, we
suggest the following:
- Use a disk cache such as SmartDrive.
- Set up a permanent swap file. For example, one common
configuration is to have the total of your computer's physical
RAM and your swap file equal 16M.
- Have an adequate FILES statement in your CONFIG.SYS file. We
recommend 50 or more if you are running Windows applications.
For additional information, see General Tips in Appendix H:
Troubleshooting in the WPWin 6.1 User's Guide, or refer to your
Windows documentation.
ODBC SETUP
==========
If you will be using Microsoft's ODBC to import database data
into WPWin, you will need access to the ODBC driver manager. The
ODBC driver manager is typically included with database programs
that use ODBC, but if you do not have the ODBC driver manager,
you may obtain a free copy for use with WPWin 6.1 by ordering the
ODBC Setup disk.
To order the ODBC Setup disk, call or write one of the Sales Center
numbers listed below.

NOTE TO BORLAND OFFICE 2.0 USERS
================================
The version of Desktop Application Director (DAD) included with
Borland Office 2.0 will not function properly with WordPerfect
6.1 for Windows. An updated DAD will be included in
PerfectOffice 3.0.
DOCUMENTATION CHANGES
=====================
Because of program changes made since the WPWin 6.1 User's Guide
was printed, the following information in the manual is incorrect
or incomplete.
RECOMMENDED SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS -- The disk space requirement
stated on page 3 is incorrect. WPWin 6.1 requires approximately
32M of free disk space for a new, standard installation,
including 1.2M for OLE 2.0. The files required for OLE 2.0 will
be installed only if you do not already have them on your
computer, or if you have older versions of them.
STYLES -- The information about Updating Styles on page 536 does
not apply. The Update feature has been removed from the Styles
button on the Power Bar. However, styles are still updated
automatically as described under Automatic Paragraph Styles on
page 536, and you can manually update styles using the macro
command StyleUpdate.
AUTO START FOR SPELL CHECKER AND GRAMMATIK -- Spell Checker and
Grammatik now start automatically when you select them from the
Tools menu or from the Toolbar. You no longer need to choose
Start as instructed on pages 189 and 512.
SUPPORTED DATABASES -- The dBase V and Paradox 5.0 database
versions are now supported, but they are not listed as Supported
Formats on page 525.
SHARED CODE -- In several places in the User's Guide, you will
find references to "shared code" or "shared program files." For
example, there are several such references in Appendix D:
Networking WordPerfect. These references are generally to files
that are installed under the PerfectFit Components group in the
setup program.
APPENDIX E: PROGRAM FILES -- The list of files included in a
minimum installation has changed somewhat since the manual was
printed. Also, the complete list of program files is located in
README.FIL, not README.WP as indicated on page 717. Please see
README.FIL in your WordPerfect directory.

SUPPORT OPTIONS FOR AUSTRALIAN USERS
====================================
Technical Support is handled in Australia by the Novell
Applications Support Group. On registering your software
with us, you are automatically credited with three free
support calls, that can be used at any time within three
months of registration. Once the three months are up, or
your three calls are used (whichever happens first) a
variety of support options are available:
Classic Support Program
Classic Support is available free of charge to all
registered customers. This range of electronic services
gives you quick and easy access to technical information
and assistance. Included in Classic Support are:
* The Bulletin Board Service gives you access to
technical bulletins, standard information sheets,
printer drivers and general product information.
Online technical infobases are also able to be browsed
via the BBS. You can dial into the Bulletin Board
Service using your modem 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,
on (02) 925 3810.
* The Faxback system gives you answers to the questions
technical support is asked most frequently. When you
select a topic, an information sheet is sent to the fax
number you nominate (or may be mailed if you do not
have access to fax machine). Also available are tips
and tricks to help you get the most out of your Novell
Applications. Faxback can be contacted on (02) 611
4567 or (03) 414 5567.
Silver Support Program
The Silver Support program is designed to meet the needs of
our registered customers who, in addition to the
electronic services offered through our Classic Support
Program, would also like to talk to support technicians.
This service is available from 8am to 7pm Australian
Eastern time for the maximum cost of a local call.
After making use of the three free calls provided with
purchase/upgrade of a Novell Application product,
undertaking relevant training and gaining an
understanding of the online help facilities, customers
should be positioned to choose which option is most
appropriate to them:
* For those customers who feel that they will only very
occasionally want to refer to Novell Application
Support, the per incident support is suggested.
Customers call the Silver Support line, provide their
registration and credit card details and the support
technician will work to resolve the problem. Per
incident support calls cost $30 for Business
Applications (WordPerfect, Presentations, Quattro
Pro, Office / GroupWise Client, LetterPerfect,
Works).
* The annual subscription is recommended for customers
who are regularly using a particular business
application product and who will have occasion to call
the support line on a more regular basis. The annual
subscription covers one person for support on one
Business Application product and costs $250. If the
person requires support on additional products, this
is available at $150 per product. Where there are
several people in an office using Novell Application
products, all of whom require access to Novell
Application Support, once a full subscription has
been purchased, subsequent subscriptions can be
purchased at $150 per person per product.
* Support 10 Packs are also available. 10 packs are
probably most relevant when you have a number of
people in the office who require only occasional
support from Novell - not enough to justify an annual
subscription for each person. In this case, you can
purchase a 10 pack and nominate those who are able to
access the calls. Then, when someone calls in, they
can use the credit support calls available. A 10 pack
can be used to support several people (you just need to
nominate who they are), and can be used for support on
any application in that category. For example, if
your organisation uses WPDOS 5.1+, WPWin 6.1 and
Presentations 2.0, a Business Applications 10 pack
can be used for questions on all these products. A 10
pack is also an economical way to purchase your
support - a 10% discount applies over the per incident
fee. A Business Application (WordPerfect, Quattro
Pro, Presentations, Office / GroupWise Client,
LetterPerfect, Works) 10 pack costs $270.
Subscriptions to the Silver Support programs may be
purchased over the phone if you have a credit card, or may
be paid for by cheque or money order. Please note that all
programs and pricing are subject to change.
Phone numbers
The Silver Support hotline for Windows products can be reached
by calling (02) 925 3804, or outside of the Sydney area, by
calling 1 800 060 374 for the maximum cost of a local call.
