The 11/6/89 version of WordPerfect 5.1 has a problem printing to IBM
printers (at least Proprinters) from documents that were created under
5.0 and imported to 5.1.

The problem is that all fonts print in half-height mode.  There is a
workaround, and they will send you an update disk free if you call
their Printer number (800) 541-5160.

The workaround:

Start WP.  Enter the Print menu with Shift-F7.  do Select Printer, and
then highlight the Proprinter and hit 3 for Edit.  Go into #4 -
Cartridges and Fonts.  Select Built-In fonts with RET.  Remove the *
from each half-height entry.  Then, hit F7 twice.  Then, hit F7 again,
select your default printer and hit 1 for Select.

Next, whenever you want to print a document that causes this problem,
be sure to put a Font Code at the top of the document, even if it is
in the default font.  You can do this with Home-Home-Up, Cntl-F8, 4 -
Base Font, and RETURN.  

This fix will work until you get the update fix.  The update fix
should allow half-height again correctly.
