TITLE: Button Bar Replaced by Gray Shaded Area
PRODUCT: WordPerfect 5.1/5.2 for Windows
Problem
A gray, shaded area displays on your screen in place of the
Button Bar.
Concept
Displaying the Button Bar consumes computer memory, so in order
to display a Button Bar, you must have enough memory available.
When you select View Button Bar, WordPerfect for Windows uses the
BARNAME=PATH\FILENAME.WWB command in the WPWP.INI or WPWP###.INI
file (þ###þ represents network user initials) to determine which
Button Bar to display. A BARNAME command must exist to display a
Button Bar. WordPerfect for Windows retrieves Button Bar (.WWB)
files from the directory you specify Under Preferences in
Location of Files. A Button Bar can only be retrieved if a .WWB
file exists in the specified directory.
Solutions
You first need to verify that the correct directory is specified
in Location of Files.
1 Select Location of Files from the Preferences menu.
2 Verify that the Button Bar directory is correct.
If the cause is not enough memory:
Close other applications before you open WordPerfect
for Windows.
Minimize Windows program groups.
If the cause is the WPWP.INI file:
Place a BARNAME=PATH\FILENAME.WWB command in the
WPWP.INI or WPWP###.INI file.
Create buttons if the Button Bar (.WWB) file size is
approximately 530k.
1 Choose Button Bar Setup from the View menu, then choose
Edit.
2 Select the options you want to display as buttons on the
Button Bar.
3 Choose OK.
