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

Problem

Symptoms: A customer using WordPerfect 5.1 tries to convert a document into RFT format to be uploaded to a mainframe system. A line of text that was centered in WP 5.1 is not centered in the converted RFT format. Instead, there are extra spaces before the Center code pushing the text to the right of the document. Solutions: This is working as designed. If the customer uses the Center or Flush Right functions (Shift-F6 or Alt-F6), the codes will convert over correctly. However, if the user blocks the text and then uses these functions or if the user manually changes the justification on that line by pressing Shift-F8, L, J, C or R, then CONVERT.EXE will use spaces to line up the text. The reason for this is that the majority of users that convert to RFT want to port their documents into DisplayWrite, which does not recognize RFT's Center codes.
