I'm getting a little confused here, Su. I mention use of 5.1+ (as in plus) and you reply about 5.1. I mention "shell to DOS ... 17K" and it sounds like you are talking about 5.1's _running_ memory requirements. Big differences. SM> to 32MB from my current 16MB.

Either that or the action of WIN95 is completely different depending on your machine and components; especially video drivers!@!! * OLX 2.2 * don_nickell@nm-us.campus.mci.net --- Maximus 2.02 * Origin: Selective On-Line (tm) - Santa Fe, NM - (505) 473-9765 (1:15/11) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 163 WORD PERFECT Ref: DCC00004 Date: 08/07/96 From: DON NICKELL Time: 12:00am \/To: ALL (Read 8 times) Subj: WordPerfect 6.1 and Word This message was from ENRIQUE IGNARRA to ALL, originally in Win95 conference and was forwarded to you by DON NICKELL. Maybe someone can help this guy via his e-mail address. Sounds to me as if he has too many word processors on his HD. ;=) ------------------------- I have both WordPerfect 6.1 and Word 7.0. If I make a document in Word 7.0 and save it as Word 7.0 I can't open it in WordPerfect 6.1. But if I make a document in Word 6.0 and save it as Word 6.0 and then open it in WordPerfect I can. Why is it that if both Word 6.0 and Word 7.0 formats are the same, why is it that I can't open a Word 7.0 document in WordPerfect 6.1?

Thanks You also duplicated that in a separate message to me ... that's not needed ... And avoid 'nice' formatting -- that quotes badly (see above) You have the right printer driver? I really can't help you other than that -- not enough experience with color printers. Other than that it won't work at all in WP5.1dos.
