=================================================================

This README file contains information not found in on-line Help
or in other *.DOC files concerning ConvertPerfect 2.0.
ConvertPerfect is a conversion program that works with
WordPerfect 6.1 to convert your files to and from specific
formats.

Two conversion documentation files (RTF.DOC and WP5X.DOC) are
installed with WordPerfect 6.1. These *.DOC files are in DOS
text format. They document the conversion of codes between
WordPerfect 6.1 and Rich Text Format (RTF), and also between
WordPerfect 6.1 and WordPerfect 5.1/5.2. See the end of this
README file for information on ordering additional format-
specific README files.

Before you start ConvertPerfect, you need to set both Files and
Buffers in your CONFIG.SYS file to a minimum of 20.

Also, to use a mouse with ConvertPerfect, you must use either
MOUSE.COM or install MOUSE.SYS.

There is no printed documentation for ConvertPerfect 2.0. To
display online information about ConvertPerfect, press Help (F1).
You can display context-sensitive Help as well as an index of
features. To learn about specific conversion drivers, select
Insert Job from the main ConvertPerfect dialog box, tab to either
the Source File Format or the Target File Format list box,
highlight a driver, then press Help.

After you convert a file, you need to retrieve it into the target
program and then save it in order to validate the new file
format. Otherwise, further file conversions may not be supported.

You can use ConvertPerfect on networks. For information
regarding network capabilities, review the use of the /PS and /U
switches under Command Line Switches in online Help.

While you are using ConvertPerfect, information on Customer
Support is available under Customer Support in the online Help
index.

When you set up ConvertPerfect 2.0 under Shell 4.0, make sure the
Shell 3.x Compatibility check box is marked in the setup of the
ConvertPerfect menu item. To select this option in Shell 4.0,
highlight the ConvertPerfect menu item on the Shell desktop,
press F6, choose Advanced Options, check the Shell 3.x
Compatibility box, then choose OK.

When you convert files that contain spreadsheets, keep in mind
that a spreadsheet with many named ranges can cause memory errors
on low memory configurations when you import it into a table.
You may be able to avoid the memory problems by retrieving the
file (Shift+F10) instead of importing it.

To display a list of ConvertPerfect startup options and the
command line syntax for them, enter CV/? at the DOS prompt.

Additional conversion drivers are available from WordPerfect.
The Additional Conversion Drivers 1 disk contains drivers for the
following formats (conversion driver names that are followed by
an asterisk are installed with the original installation of
WordPerfect 6.1 and its conversion files):
