The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: A customer converting from WP 4.2 to WP 5.1 using the Convert Program was getting the message "Divide Error." It was not Divide Overflow. After the error appeared the WP 4.2 and WP 5.1 WP.EXE files were gone. Solutions: After speaking with the customer it was discovered that they were converting the WP 4.2 files using *.*. This is a problem when all of the program files and personal files are in the same directory. Program files cannot be converted. After creating a separate WP 4.2 document directory, the convert ran without any problems.

ConvertPerfect has an auto-detection feature that will detect the format of files being converted and will prompt the user if an unknown format is encountered.
