As mentioned in the subject line, I am running WP 5.1 on a Zenith 286 
laptop ... with little success. I was running the initial release version
and the printer driver would always lock up (not print) a document with
graphics in it. Ok, I could cope, but when I upgraded to the Oct 11/90
release, the printer problem was fixed, but now I hit a "Inproper text
format" error when trying to replace/save the docment to disk. 

Not that this is bad enough, but it erases the old copy of the document
BEFORE telling me the current document is in the 'WRONG' format!

It is because of this I have been using Latex for all my latest projects!
Can anyone help me ... has anyone out there experienced this problem.
WP is the only program that consistantly fails on the laptop ... every-
thing else is great!

Please help!
