SYMPTOMS
Converted WordPerfect documents may not have sufficient leading between
lines. Lines in a paragraph may be spaced so that they touch each other, or lines
of text may be cut off.
WORKAROUND
Use the following procedure to change the line spacing between lines.
- On the Edit menu, click Select All.
- On the Format menu, click Paragraph.
- On the Format Paragraph dialog, select Line Spacing. Change from
Single to Multiple. In the At box, type "1.20" (without the
quotation marks).
This sets the line spacing to 120% of normal.
If this setting is insufficient, you can continue to fine tune the
settings by 0.01% of single line spacing until the leading in the
converted document matches the leading in the second document.
Example: Setting Format, Paragraph to Multiple 1.20 sets line spacing
to 120% of single. Setting it to 1.21 sets the spacing to 121%, etc.
STATUS
This behavior is a limitation of the WordPerfect 5.x converter as
provided by Microsoft Word for Windows.
