• Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

SYMPTOMS

When a WordPerfect 6.1 document that was modified with the "Make it Fit" command is converted to Word, the location of page breaks change.

CAUSE

The WordPerfect "Make it Fit" feature reduces the number of pages in your document by reducing the font size to a value that may include a fraction of a point--for example, 9.5 points. When you convert the document to Word, the point size is rounded down to a whole number.

RESOLUTION

After you convert the document, correct the pagination by selecting the entire document and changing the font point size to match the point size of the WordPerfect document.

MORE INFORMATION

WordPerfect's "Make it Fit" feature reduces the number of pages in the document by adjusting the font size and line spacing. The nearest equivalent feature in Word for Windows, version 6.0, is the Shrink To Fit tool. This feature reformats the document to fit on one less page. To locate this option, click Print Preview on the File menu.
