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

Problem

Symptoms: A customer has a document with font changes that cause the text to scroll off the right side of the screen. If the customer rewrites the screen (Ctrl-F3 twice) before saving the document as a DOS text file, then it displays properly. However, if he saves the file as DOS text while the document is spread out across the screen, then it continues to display that way, even after pressing Rewrite. The customer does not want to always rewrite his screen before saving something as a DOS text file. Solutions: WordPerfect correctly converts SRts to CR/LFs in a DOS text file. It does not reformat or rewrite the document before saving as a DOS text file because when or if the file is brought back into WordPerfect, it needs to hold the correct format.
