Entering Delimiters In The Convert Program |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: Customers may be confused by the prompts in the Convert program. The first prompt requests that users "Enter Field Delimiter Characters Or Decimal ASCII Values Enclosed In {}." The wording is correct in the Convert program, but if read quickly it may lead customers to think that anything they entered needed to be put in the French brackets {} instead of only ASCII values. One customer came across this problem when converting a mail merge file from dBASE IV to a WordPerfect secondary merge file. She wanted to use a comma (,) for the field delimiter but thought it had to be enclosed in the brackets i.e. {,}. When she did this, the file was not converted correctly. After entering the delimiter without the braces, the file converted correctly. |
