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

Problem

Symptoms: When converting a DisplayWrite shell (WP primary file equivalent) file to WordPerfect 5.1, the variables (field codes) do not convert correctly. The customer has tried saving the file in the RFT format as well as bringing it in directly through the DisplayWrite convert utilities. Solutions: Due to the complexity of the many different ways that third-party programs perform merging, WPCorp products do not support converting merge codes from DisplayWrite or RFT other than stop codes to {KEYBOARD} codes. In fact, when a variable is encountered during the conversion process, the variable is just thrown away (converted to nothing).
