Does Prefix Move When Document Is Blocked And |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer had a document that was 40 or 50 pages long originally. He deleted all the text leaving only the prefix and typed a few new paragraphs. For some reason WordPerfect kept repeating a phrase over and over (about 30K worth of garbage). The customer was unable to correct this problem by either putting a space on the screen, retrieving the file, and deleting the space; or by blocking the paragraphs and moving them to a new screen. Solutions: All files created by WPCorp products begin with a 16 byte file prefix that identifies the type of file it is, what product it was created with, and what version of the product it was created with. This part of the prefix always stays with the document so WPCorp products will be able to identify the file type. For more details about this 16 byte prefix see the 5.1 Developers Tool Kit, WordPerfect 5.1 Document Format section (pg 3) subheading Prefix Area. This customer's file was probably damaged within this 16 byte prefix area. |
