I use an IBM A/T with a VGA card and EGA monitor, and have not had any
problems.  I have discovered that if you are going to display italics,
you can only use half of the colors available to you normally.
(Remember, you need not *display* italics in order to *print* italics.)

First - Before you select "Colors/Fonts/Attributes," make sure you have
chosen the appropriate "Graphics Screen Type" (Shift-F1 DG), then go
into "Colors."  "Graphics..." selects which type of card you are using
for your monitor.  If your card is not listed specifically, you might
try the "auto-select" feature and let WordPerfect figure it out.

I suspect this will take care of your problem.  If not, . . .

The nearest WordPerfect distributor would be:
	    Word Perfect Software GmbH
	    Frankfurter Strasse 33-35
	    6236 Eschborn
	    West Germany
	    Telephone:  (0 61 96) 48 17 22
	    Telex:  4072602 wpg d
	    Fax:  (0 61 96) 4 60 03


There is also an "International Division" at WordPerfect Corporation
	    WordPerfect Corporation
	    International Division
	    1555 North Technology Way
	    Orem,  UT  84057
	    USA

Good luck.

true?
