Typeover In Keyboard Merge

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

Problem

Symptoms: When using typeover in a keyboard merge, the text to the right of the merge code shifts to the right. This did not occur in 5.0. Solutions: WordPerfect 5.0 and 5.1 are different in the way they merge files. The WP 5.1 merge actually merges primary and secondary files into the current document. The program inputs the primary file until it comes to the pause, then the information the user types is inserted until they press F9. Then, the next section of the primary file is inserted. Therefore, typeover is working correctly since nothing exists to the right of the cursor at this point of the merge. In WP 5.0, the primary file was retrieved and the text was inserted into the file.

Refer to memo WP51_5252A for more information since the problem was fixed, then unfixed and fixed again.
