Converting Documents To ASCII - Indents Are W |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: When a customer uses CONVERT.EXE to convert multiple WP 5.1 documents to ASCII text, indents are not converted to the correct number of spaces. Solutions: ConvertPerfect handles this problem better than CONVERT.EXE does. How/Why: The Problem Resolution specialist tested this problem by creating a WP 5.1 document with several different indents and tabs. This file was then saved as a WP 5.1 document and converted to ASCII text in the following ways: 1. Using Ctrl-F5, Save as DOS Text 2. With CONVERT.EXE dated 12/17/92 3. With ConvertPerfect, using the Standard ASCII option 4. Using the DOS Text Printer and printing to disk Of those different conversion methods, the only file that was identical to the Ctrl-F5 method used in WP 5.1 was the ConvertPerfect converted file. The only difference was that WP 5.1 left an end of file marker (^Z) at the end of the DOS text file and the ConvertPerfect file did not have an end of file marker. |
