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

Problem

Symptoms: A customer received the error "File Not Found" when converting an MS Word file to WP 5.1. The file was in the correct directory, but the Convert utility did not find it. Solutions: The customer forgot to add the extension on the filename. The default extension for MS Word documents is .DOC. CONVERT.EXE and ConvertPerfect assume the file doesn't have an extension if the user doesn't specify one.

This same concept applies to converting WP 6.0 documents as well. Customers must include a .DOC extension when converting WP files to MS Word files for the files to display in an MS Word file list.
