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

Problem

Solutions: Load Lotus and retrieve the desired file. Print the file to disk, using /Print, File. This operation creates a .PRN file.

In a blank Lotus worksheet, use /Import, Text to bring up the .PRN file. Every row is one continuous line of text, rather than a series of separate cells.

Use the /Data, Parse operation to separate the text into fields. Format all fields as labels in this procedure.

Save the Parse'd output data as a new .WK3 file.

Exit to the Lotus Translate utility and translate the new .WK3 file document to a .DIF format, following the menu prompts.

Exit to DOS. In the WP51 directory where the Convert program is located, use the convert option .DIF Document to WordPerfect Secondary Merge, following the menu prompts.

Load WordPerfect. Retrieve the new secondary merge file. The field data will be in the desired text format and not in scientific format.
