WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: A document converted from a Leading Edge word processing system displayed garbage when retrieved into WordPerfect. The document was saved as ASCII text in the Leading Edge program then retrieved into WordPerfect as DOS Text. The customer found that all Leading Edge files are saved with a .DOC extension. Saving the file as ASCII text was not overwriting the previous file. The problem was corrected by entering the extension as part of the filename during the conversion process.

Another customer received the error "Incompatible File Format" when retrieving a Leading Edge wordprocessor file that was saved as ASCII. The customer eliminated the error by renaming the extension of the filename.
