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

Problem

Solutions: You can save files with a default extension through Document Summary.

The keystrokes for WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS are as follows:
1.      Press Setup (Shift-F1)
2.      Press 3 for Environment
3.      Press 4 for Document Management/Summary
4.      Change Create Summary on Save/Exit to Yes
5.      Choose 4 for Default Document Type, and type the three letter extension

After taking these steps, every time you save a document WordPerfect will take you to the Document Summary screen. When you type the filename, WP will automatically save the file with the extension you specified.

In WordPerfect for Windows you can get the same result by entering File|Preferences|Document Summary and typing the three letters you want as the extension for Default Descriptive Type and putting an X in the Create Summary on Save/Exit box.

WP was saving one customer's files with a .DOC extension automatically, and the customer didn't know why. The customer had set the Create Summary on Save/Exit option to Yes and specified DOC as the document type. After the customer deleted the "DOC", WP no longer saved the files with a .DOC extension.
