WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer is importing spreadsheets into tables using the Spreadsheet Link option (Ctrl-F5). On each spreadsheet, all decimal points come in as uppercase U's and all dollar signs come in as another character. This happens on all machines at their company (they are all using the same Canadian release date 09/06/90). This problem occurs consistently on all spreadsheets being imported into WP (Quattro Pro versions 1 and 2, and Lotus 1-2-3 2.2). Solutions: This seems to be caused by updating WP51 and installing only the Program 1 disk. The .LRS (Language Resource File) file was not updated. To correct the problem, the customer updated the .LRS file. This was done by installing the copy of the file found on the customer's latest WP program disks. The date of the dates does not seem to matter, as long as the .LRS file is from the same release as the WP.EXE and WP.FIL files.
