Notebook - Comment Code From WP 5.1 Not Ignor
DocumentID: 655087
Revision Date: 29-Feb-96 8:29:35 PM

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

Problem

Symptoms: The merge code {COMMENT} is not ignored by Notebook. The steps to duplicate this problem are as follows:
1.      Retrieve a Notebook file into WP 5.1, cursor to any field and insert a comment using Shift-F9, 6, and cursor to {COMMENT}.
2.      Type in some text after {COMMENT} and before the tilde.
3.      Save the file, exit WP, enter Notebook 3.0, and retrieve the file.
The comment shows up as part of the field information in both list and record display. Then if you go back into WP and merge using this Notebook as the secondary file, the comment is not merged (as is correct). It seems to the customer that this comment should not show up in Notebook. Is this an error or is it working as designed? Solutions: This is working as designed. Comments are designed to display but not print. Therefore, when this code is brought into Notebook it displays. While it is an annoyance it is currently working as designed.
