Editing WordPerfect (section)

===Printer drivers===
WordPerfect for DOS shipped with an impressive array of [[printer driver]]s—a feature that played an important role in its adoption—and also shipped with a printer driver editor called PTR, which features a flexible macro language and allows technically inclined users to customize and create printer drivers.

An interesting feature of version 4.2 for DOS was its Type-Through feature.  It allowed a user with certain compatible printers to use WordPerfect as a conventional typewriter.  This functionality was removed in version 5.1 for DOS.<ref>{{cite book |title = Word Perfect Made Easy |publisher = Mincberg |year = 1990 |page = 485 }}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |magazine = Atari Magazine |title = Reviews WordPerfect 4.1 |url = https://www.atarimagazines.com/startv2n6/wordperfect.html |quote = type-through .. allows you to print what you type }}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |magazine = [[PC Magazine]] |date = August 1986 |page = 395 |url = https://books.google.com/books?id=a91QXlvTPHAC |quote = providing a type-through (typewriter emulation) mode |title = Productivity enveloping: WordPerfect }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |title = Easily into WordPerfect 5 |page = 29 |url = https://books.google.com/books?isbn=1349110175 |isbn = 1349110175 |first = Joanna |last = Gosling |year = 1989 |quote = USING TYPE THROUGH FOR ADDRESS LABELS }}</ref>
