SUMMARY
The following is a summary of corrections and enhancements made to the
WordPerfect converter and supporting components supplied with the Word 6.0
for Windows Supplemental WordPerfect 5.x/6.0 Converter Kit. This converter
is used to convert between Word and WordPerfect 5.0 and 5.1 for MS-DOS and
WordPerfect 5.1 and 5.2 for Windows file formats.
All corrections and enhancements listed here have been made since the
immediately previous Word 6.0c product release.
CORRECTIONS AND ENHANCEMENTS
Indentation
A significant number of causes for incorrect indentation when importing
WordPerfect documents have been resolved. Corrections have been made to the
application of hanging and normal indentation in footnotes, indexes, tables
of contents, numbered paragraphs, and normal document body text.
Paragraph Numbering
A significant number of paragraph numbering import problems have been
addressed by emulating WordPerfect [Par Num] numbering with Sequence fields
instead of heading numbering or multilevel lists. Previous problems
resulted from numbering model differences in the two products. Issues
addressed include:
- Paragraph numbering sequence restart ignored (for example, a numbering
change from 109 to 201 instead converting to 109, 110,...)
- Loss of text preceding paragraph numbers
- Skipped (missing) numbers in a numbering sequence
Character Mapping
Two enhancements have been made to allow retention of a greater number of
WordPerfect characters when importing a WordPerfect 5.x document:
- Several TrueType fonts that contain equivalents for WordPerfect special
(compose) characters are supplied and installed with the updated
converter, and the converter has been optimized to detect and take
advantage of these fonts. These fonts include:
Greek Symbols
Iconic Symbols Ext
Math Ext
Multinational Ext
Typographic Ext
- If the TrueType special character fonts supplied with WordPerfect 6.0
and 6.1 for Windows are installed on your system, the updated
WordPerfect converter will detect and use them to preserve all of the
special characters they provide. These fonts include:
WP Arabic Sihafa
WP ArabicScript Sihafa
WP BoxDrawing
WP CyrillicA
WP CyrillicB
WP Greek Century
WP Greek Courier
WP Greek Helvetica
WP Hebrew David
WP IconicSymbolsA
WP IconicSymbolsB
WP Japanese
WP MathA
WP MathB
WP MathExtendedA
WP MathExtendedB
WP MultinationalA Courier
WP MultinationalA Helvetica
WP MultinationalA Roman
WP MultinationalB Courier
WP MultinationalB Helvetica
WP MultinationalB Roman
WP Phonetic
WP TypographicSymbols
WPG Graphics Import
The WPG graphic import filter has been updated to provide support for WPG
versions 1.0, 1.0a, and 2.0. In addition, a variety of causes for the
following problems have been addressed:
- General protection (GP) faults
- "Not Enough Memory to Display or Print Picture" errors
- "Unable to Convert Graphic" errors
- "Out of Memory" errors
- Shading reversal
- Missing pictures
- Loss of fill patterns
- Loss of colors
- Incorrect font mapping
- Text loss
- Image sizing, cropping, and scaling problems
"Cannot Find the Graphic File..." for Available Graphics
When you open a WordPerfect document containing a link to a graphic on
disk, Word will no longer return the following error message when that
graphic is actually available in the directory specified by the link:
"Cannot find the graphic file specified by the document."
Hard Row (Page Break in Table) Ignored
If a WordPerfect table contains a hard page break (represented in
WordPerfect Reveal Codes by the [Hrd Row] command), the page break is no
longer ignored.
All Endnote Numbers Lost
When a WordPerfect document containing a corrupt Endnote Option ([End Opt])
code is opened in Word, endnote numbers in the document body are no longer
lost.
General Protection Faults
Several causes for general protection (GP) faults when importing
WordPerfect 5.x documents have been addressed. Among other more isolated
causes, the following scenarios will no longer generate a fault:
- An endnote entry immediately followed by a table of contents entry. For
example:
[Endnote:1;[Note Num]text][Mark:ToC,1]text[End Mark:ToC,1]
- An attempt by the converter to embed a Sequence field within a TC field.
