Exporting WP 5.1 Documents To Aldus PageMaker |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: A user wanted to export a WordPerfect 5.1 document and use it in Aldus PageMaker. Solutions: To import WP 5.1 documents into PageMaker, the WordPerfect 5.0/5.1 import filter must be installed in PageMaker. The WordPerfect document must be given the extension .WP5 so PageMaker can identify it. Documents can then be imported using the Place command in PageMaker. Note: All codes do not import properly. Fonts, tabs, indents, and some other attributes such as bold, italics, underline, superscript, and subscript DO import properly. Font sizes, tables, equations, etc., are lost when importing into PageMaker. (This is probably considered acceptable to them, since PageMaker is a desktop publishing program.) Word processors are generally used simply for convenient text preparation before insertion into the publication. Complex pages including such things as line numbering, tables, columns, etc., would not normally be imported into a desktop publishing/page layout program.) Follow the steps below to export a file from WP51/WPWin51/WPWin52 to PageMaker 4. (Note: You must have previously installed PageMaker's WordPerfect 5.0/5.1 import filter in before beginning.) 1. Save the file from WordPerfect with the extension .WP5. 2. In PageMaker, open the file into which you are importing the WP document, or create a blank document by selecting File|New. 3. Import the WP document by Selecting File|Place. After selecting the document, PM will show a small page icon. Click this icon (like a mouse pointer) on the place where the top of the WP document should begin. |
