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

Problem

Symptoms: The customer was prompted for a password after retrieving a WordPerfect document into the program Xywrite 3.51, storing it using the Xywrite (ST-store) command, and then trying to retrieve the document into WP 5.1 again. If the user selects the option in Xywrite to quit, then the message "File Open, Quit Any Way, Yes or No?" comes up. When the file is brought back into WP, it does not prompt for a password. Solutions: The problem occurs because Xywrite is an ASCII editor/processor. When the customer retrieves or saves WordPerfect files in Xywrite, Xywrite alters the information in the WP prefix which makes it invalid. However, saving a WP file in DOS Text format will allow the user to make the transition without difficulty. Also, original Xywrite files retrieve into WordPerfect without any problem.
