WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: Enhancement:
A user requested that WordPerfect 5.1 include the capability to list all documents created on a specified date in order to save those files to a particular directory.

Answer:
Users can do this using List Files and Document Summary. The List Files feature in WordPerfect 5.1 has a Find option that lets users search the document summaries of existing files for specific keywords, authors, or creation dates (F5, Enter, F, C). When using the Find feature for creation dates, users can either list a single date or a range of dates. Once the files are found, they will be listed separately from the main files listing.

This procedure requires that users create a document summary for all the documents. Users can manually create a document summary (Shift-F8, D, S), or they can have WordPerfect prompt for either Long Document Names (Shift-F1, E, L) or Document Summaries (Shift-F1, E, C) when saving a file. Any of these options will save files with a Document Summary.

To save all files in a list to another directory, users should mark the files (Alt-F5), then use the Copy command in List Files to copy those files to the desired directory.

Users may also do the same type of operation for the revision dates of files, (F5, Enter, F, C, D). When this option is used, the document summary is not necessary. The revision date is the date displayed next to the file in List Files.
