Discussions about other Corel products included in the Suite are also fair game. 2 - Discussion of non-WordPerfect software should be taken to the appropriate echo. However, discussion of commercial and shareware third-party applications designed to work with WordPerfect (i.e., document templates, macros, font systems, off-line readers, etc.) is allowed. Discussions about tweaking operating systems or writing batch files to optimize the use of WordPerfect are permissible until they move away from the focus of this echo, which is WordPerfect. 3 - When asking for help or posting information on a product please include the version number and platform of the software. This will help everyone keep track of what we're talking about (i.e., "I'm using WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS..."). Discussion of all versions of WordPerfect products on all platforms is welcome. 4 - No personal attacks (aka flaming) are permitted in the echo. This includes berating a reader for asking a question or posting a message you find simple/stupid/offensive. The moderator will deal with any violations of the rules. If you feel you must reply, please use private mail. In addition, profanity will not be tolerated. 5 - ANSI Graphics are not allowed in any message. This includes personal signatures and taglines. These characters can cause severe problems on some systems that receive the echo. Lengthy signatures with ASCII art are also frowned on. 6 - As the majority of the echo users are English speaking, messages in this conference should be in English whenever possible. However, all users are welcome. 7 - Software/Hardware wars (My word processor/drawing package/computer is better than yours) will not be tolerated. 8 - Real names are preferred. In other words, please refrain from using an alias. 9 - Above all else, enjoy the conference and feel free to jump in on any message or conversation that interests you. NOTE - This echo is in no way affiliated with Corel Corporation and is run by and for users of WordPerfect. All Corel product names are trademarks of Corel. Thanks!

This is easier than responding to the letters received. I have been trying to find this version and have had NO LUCK. PERIOD! Does anyone have a version that they are no longer using and would like to sell it? Am just getting a little desperate. This version runs on older machines which version 6 DOESN'T!. It also FAXES. From what I have seen, it is identical in almost every way to 5.1 so I see no limitations, it doesn't require the memory that 6 does so thanks for those notes but I DON'T WANT 6. 5.1 is what I am looking for and no one stocks in anymore. If anyone has a copy they no longer require, please contact me. *********************** John aka RANGER *************************** ---> Screams? WHAT screams?

I can't speak for Corel Central 8, but I downloaded Corel Central 7 from Corel's web page a couple of months ago. I'm just about to lean in the way of upgrading to WPWin 8, but haven't quite justified the expense to myself yet. For what I do, I'm so far quite happy with WP Suite 7. Cheers, Phil ... Capt'n!

About an hour after I sent the original message, Airborne dropped off my copy of Corel WordPerfect Suite with the new Corel Central. I haven't had time to play with it, but at least it answered my question about it being available. __ (__ ___)teve shattuck@execpc.com via Windows 95 CMPQwk 1.42 #329 ... CLINTON.SYS install failed.

I've got a client who's running WordPerfect 5.1 under Win95. Swears they can't live without it. Was running WP5.1 with a shortcut, all fine. Now they go and get an HPLJ6 printer. Install the HPLJ software. Works fine with Win programs. No drivers for WP5.1 with the HPLJ6 (or on either HP or Corel website), so I use the HPLJ5 WP5.1 driver. After printing a page, it prints a second page that says "2345X" (or something like that), but only when WP5.1 is running in a DOS box, not if you exit to DOS. So, set up the shortcut to exit to DOS. Now when you exit WP, the computer reboots. Running in a DOS box was far preferable (mouse worked, program loads and exits cleanly). Any suggestions on how to make it work properly ? No, upgrading to a later version of WP is not an option.
