CONVERT.EXE And Fixing Damaged Documents |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: Operators should not normally use CONVERT.EXE to process files suspected of having problems or [UNKNOWN] codes. CONVERT.EXE has no way of identifying and correcting the problem. This alternative can, and most likely does, wreak havoc on the original files due to the potential loss of formatting, features, and work put into the creation of those files. Also, if a feature has a problem and the user converts it to a product that does not have a comparable feature, then the user has merely eliminated the feature through the conversion process. The user has not really cleared up any problems. If a WP 5.0 or a WP 5.1 file is put through the conversion process to MultiMate, many features such as flush right text and footnotes are eliminated because MultiMate does not have a comparable feature. Thus, once the MultiMate file (which the file is now because WP has no way of knowing that it was originally a WP 5.0 or a WP 5.1 file after the conversion has been completed) is converted back to WP 5.0 or WP 5.1, it could be lacking much of the formatting that had been included originally in that file. Documents that need repair should be sent to the Problem Resolution group. Please enter an STR for each document. |
