WordPerfect problem
I know the "main" problem has got to be addressed to Corel, but this is different, I think: I get an email attachment in .wpd format, I snap on that, and WordPerfect opens up. If I just wish to print the file, I can do so. If I wish to scroll down the file, it will go, but never scroll back up. (This is the WP that they sold just a few months ago, not the old one that ran under WINE.) I read the answer to the OpenOffice problem, and I will try that with WP, but I have a different problem: Once having opened WP in this fashion, I cannot get it off the footboard of KDE. Doing a ps either from user or su, in my user directory or root does not show the process, so how do I kill it? (I think it is /bin, but I can't find it there, either.) Thanx, guys. --doug

If you did ps aux | grep wp - and it didn't give you anything don't bother, the process isn't there. To get it of your "footboard" or "systems tray" or "panel": right click on it and press "quit" in the popup menu. Regards, -- Jos van Kan
Thank you. I wasn't using the ps command correctly. Following your instructions I found both instances of the hung processes, and I used kill and got rid of them. BTW, the command that you get in the right-click pop-up is "close" not "quit" but that didn't work, of course. First thing I tried. --doug On Monday 09 August 2004 13:52, Jos van Kan wrote:
