The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: Q: When trying to find a file with Quickfinder (File|Open|QuickFinder) and "WP Documents Only" selected does Quickfinder consider Ascii Dos Text files as a WordPerfect file?

A: No. "WP Documents Only" will only look at documents created in WordPerfect during it's search, thus making the search go faster) When a document is created in WordPerfect, a special code is placed in the document prefix. Quickfinder looks at this prefix and will only search documents with that special code. (A prefix is invisible codes that initialize a document)

This is also true if a file is created in WordPerfect and saved as Ascii Text. In this scenario, the Quickfinder would not find the file. It would recognize it as Ascii Text only.
