ASCII Character 172 Doesn't Convert Correctly |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The ASCII 172 character comes into WP as a triangle (WP Character 8,8) after the customer exports it from Quattro Pro to a Lotus file and imports the spreadsheet into WP. Other ASCII characters before 32 and after 126 have similar problems. Solutions: When the file is saved from Quattro Pro in Lotus format and retrieved into Lotus, ASCII characters before 32 and after 126 do not convert correctly. The triangle is what is sent to the Lotus file. To convert the file correctly, the LICS/LMBCS conversion must be turned on. To do this, go into Options|International and set LICS/LMBCS Conversion to Yes in Quattro Pro. This allows the ASCII 172 character to convert correctly. |
