Problem

Solutions: Final Form Text (FFT)

FFT is very similar to RFT; the main difference being that FFT is a final form that cannot be revised. The main purpose for using FFT format is to send information to terminals on the mainframe and be able to print it or look at the text. It is similar to printing to disk.

There are only a few codes in FFT that will be converted, such as tabs. WordPerfect does not convert footnotes; they become part of the text.

WordPerfect is able to save to FFT format, but WordPerfect does not convert from FFT.

The following features are converted when the FFT option is chosen. These features convert both ways.

Auto Outline Set Horizontal Margins
Bold On/Off Set Lines Per Inch
Center Set Page Number
Columns Set Pitch
Extended Characters Set Tabs
Flush Right Set Underline Style
Hard Hyphen Set Vertical Margins
Hard Pages Soft Hyphen
Hard Return Soft Page
Hard Spaces Soft Return
Headers Spacing Reset
Hyphenation Zone Reset Strikeout On/Off
Indent Superscript/Subscript
Left Margin Release Tab
Line Draw Tab Right Align
Overstrike Tab Center Align
Page Number Inserted Right Tab Decimal
Right Justification Underline On/Off
Set Alignment Character
