WordStar for Windows

wswin.dll Causes A Windows GPF When Reading
The WordStar for Windows How-To Guide

Introduction

Some systems experience a Windows general Protection Fault (GPF) when the WordStar for Windows How-To Guide written by Judy Miner is paged through around page 49. The actual page number varies, probably due to the system's default printer and paper size settings.

This problem seems to be caused by the layout at the bottom of the page where the GRAPHICS section starts. The bottom of the page is formatted as follows:

That is, there is a heading spanning both columns, a sub-title in the LH column and just two lines of text in the RH column before the page ends.

Solution:

1. Save a copy of the document and work with that.
2. Go to Page 49 and carefully scroll to the bottom.
3. Click to set the insertion point at the end of the last para in the right-hand column.
4. Switch to Draft Editor: View > Draft Editor.
5. Scroll down until you find Graphics at the left of the screen.
6. Reset the insertion point immediately before the tag.
7. Type <CTRL><ENTER>, i.e., hold down the Ctrl key and press Enter once.
8. Switch back to Page Editor: View > Page Editor.

You will find that the Graphics section now starts a new page and you should be able to view the whole document.

If you can now view the entire document save the new version.
