1. WordPerfect Graphic (WPG) files
WPG files are bitmap images contained in a proprietary WordPerfect Corp format. Their advantages are:
·
Device independence -- only one WPG file is needed for all printers supported by WordPerfect.
·
Simple to use -- moderately experienced WP users can insert graphics with ease.
Disadvantages:
·
WordPerfect may rescale your graphics, which can lead to mushy appearance or loss of detail}
·
Printing time can be longer than for fonts if the same graphic is used several times in the document, e.g.
signatures in a form letter.}
·
in most instances, WPG files cannot be used with other non-WP Corp. applications
A )NSTALLING 70' GRAPHIC FILES ON YOUR SYSTEM
Installing WPG files is simply a matter of moving them to a convienent placeon your hard disk. It is best to keep
these files separate from your font library (if you have one), and away from user document files. A typical
directory path might be
C:\WP51\GRAPHICS
.
