Running Under WinOS/2
Tips and Tricks

This Help screen will give you more information about the following topics:

 Settings Configuration

 The /SW Startup Command

 Printing to the Network

 Possible Traps While Running in Win-OS/2

 Reinstalling WordPerfect Objects

 Corrupted .INI Files

 Moving Your Desktop from HPFS to FAT

 Your .BIF file Could Not Be Opened

Settings Configuration

Running WordPerfect 6.0a for Windows under OS/2 2.1 requires some configuration of the WordPerfect Program object's Settings notebook.  When you use SETUPOS2.EXE to install the WordPerfect Program folder, these settings are changed automatically.  The following settings are changed in the Win-OS/2 settings dialog box on the Session tab:

Setting Name	Default	Suggested
WIN_RUN_MODE	STANDARD	ENHANCED
DOS_FILES	20	100
DOS_HIGH	OFF	ON
DPMI_DOS_API	DISABLED	ENABLED
DPMI_MEMORY_LIMIT	4	128
IDLE_SECONDS	0	5
IDLE_SENSITIVITY	75/95	95
XMS_MEMORY_LIMIT	2048	6144+
WIN_CLIPBOARD	ON	ON
WIN_DDE	ON	ON

The /SW Startup Command

The /sw startup command is added to the SH_SH_.ENV file when you run SETUP.EXE.  If you are using a 256-color palette, this command will keep the background colors from changing while running WordPerfect.  If you are dragging and dropping colors, the colors may not display properly, but they will print properly.

Win-OS/2 settings and the /sw startup command are automatically changed when SETUPOS2.EXE is installed.

Printing to the Network

If you are having difficulty printing from the LPTx printer port when using a network printer, try using the corresponding LPTx.OS2 printer port.

To use a LPTx.OS2 printer port with a WordPerfect printer driver, you must print to a file using the filename LPTx.OS2.

Possible Traps While Running in Win-OS/2

If you experience a trap in WordPerfect 6.0a for Windows while running in seamless Win-OS/2 mode, and you are using the QuickLaunch feature, you may end up with some WordPerfect 6.0a open view entries in your Window List that cannot be closed.  The operating system has not told the OS/2-Win-OS/2 communication mechanism that the WordPerfect 6.0a for Windows application is no longer running.  This problem has been reported to IBM.

You can resolve this problem by closing down all of your seamless Win-OS/2 applications, then closing down the QuickLaunch application.  This will shut down the seamless Win-OS/2 session completely.  Once the seamless Win-OS/2 session has terminated, your system should be back to normal.

Reinstalling WordPerfect Objects

Try using the SETUPOS2.EXE program with the /fixwps option.  This will destroy and recreate all objects from scratch and will remove any objects that no longer exist on the hard disk.

This option works around a known OS/2 problem in the object installation and has been reported to IBM.

Corrupted .INI Files

Use SETUPOS2.EXE with the /fixwps option to reinstall OS/2 .INI files that have become corrupted.  Also, if you use different Workplace Shell .INI files, you should use SETUPOS2.EXE /fixwps with each of those OS/2 .INI files in order to install the WordPerfect 6.0a for Windows folder in each desktop you use.

Moving Your Desktop from HPFS to FAT

When running any Windows application in Win-OS/2 mode under OS/2 version 2.x, it is important to choose a disk format that will enable that application to run to the best of its ability.

With the FAT file system, all filenames and directory names have a maximum length of eight characters with a three-character extension (for example, FILENAME.EXT).

With the HPFS file system, any filename or directory name can be as long as 254 characters with more than three characters in its extension.

Any Windows or DOS application you run under OS/2 version 2.x will only be able to use files with standard DOS filenames (as many as eight characters with a maximum three-character extension).  Any files with HPFS long names will be hidden from your Windows and DOS applications, including all files with a long subdirectory name.

Steps

To move your OS/2 desktop from one disk partition to another without having to reinstall the operating system,

1	Make sure you are using OS/2 version 2.1 or later.

2	Double-click the OS/2 System folder.

3	Double-click the Drives folder within the OS/2 System folder.

4	Double-click the disk object where you installed OS/2 (C: by default).

5	Look for your desktop directory in the tree hierarchy for that disk.  It should be called Desktop or OS!2 2.0 Desktop and have an office desk icon.

6	Once you find the desktop object, drag it to a FAT disk partition.

7	While your desktop is moving, do not reboot or open other objects. Once the move is complete, wait a few seconds while OS/2 writes all desktop link information back to your hard disk.

The .BIF file could not be opened

If you get this error message during startup, place the SET RESTARTOBJECTS=STARTUPFOLDERSONLY command in your CONFIG.SYS file.

If you get this error message after startup, you probably have WordPerfect products running in separate Win-OS/2 sessions.  You cannot run WordPerfect products (including QuickLaunch) in more than one Win-OS/2 session because the .BIF file can only be used in one session at a time.


Templates

Purpose

Use templates to quickly create professional-looking newsletters, envelopes, fax cover sheets, letters, memos, and more.

Steps

To use a document template,

1	Double-click the WordPerfect Templates folder, then select the appropriate template.

2	Drag the template to another folder or to your desktop.

WordPerfect will open with the template in the document window.  If the template is an ExpressDoc, it will prompt you for information (for example, your name and phone number).  After you enter the information once, ExpressDocs will automatically merge this information into any ExpressDocs subsequently opened.
