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

Problem

Symptoms: Files from AppleWorks word processor are not converting to an IBM format correctly through CrossWorks. Also, the error "Incompatible File Format" may occur when attempting to retrieve a file saved with CrossWorks. Solutions: When the file is converted to an IBM format through CrossWorks, a BDh is placed between each character of the document. When WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS converts this file, it reads the file as a WordPerfect 4.2 file. In WP 4.2 BDh represented a Subscript code. There is really nothing WP 5.1 DOS can do to prevent CrossWorks from inserting this code, but you can do a Search and Replace to remove the Subscript codes in WP 4.2. Another option is to convert the file to Macintosh format, take the file into WP for the Macintosh, and save it as a WP 5.1 DOS file.
