Codes On Replace Line |

WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: It can be frustrating not knowing what codes can and cannot be placed in the Replace string (Alt-F2). In the past, only single byte functions have been allowed in the Replace string. Multibyte functions are harder to replace; but beginning with the next release of WP 5.1 (the release after 01/19/90), a few multibyte functions will be allowed in the Replace string--namely, advanced merge codes. The merge codes are multibyte, but they are relatively small ranging from 3-8 bytes. The Replace string is only capable of holding 60 bytes. At this time, the largest string of codes that can be placed in the Replace string is 60 bytes. That means that the total byte size for the Replace string cannot exceed 60 bytes. Many people would like to put the date codes in the Replace string but they will not be accepted. The date code is a multibyte function that contains approximately 75 bytes. |
