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

Problem

Symptoms: A customer blocked and copied a portion of text from a document to a clear screen. The block contained no style codes, but the style library showed up in Alt-F8. Another customer found that when he blocked some text and used the Move feature to copy that text to the Document 2 screen, the initial codes from document 1 were transferred to document 2 (this included Paper Size/Type codes). It appears that, in both cases, the prefix of the original document was moved with the block of text. This occurs in all releases of WP 5.0 and 5.1. Solutions: When you block and copy text, all of the prefix will be copied with the block (including all codes in Initial Codes), with the exception of graphics information (unless you are blocking a figure or equation). One workaround is to use Delete instead of Ctrl-F4. Then you can switch screens and press F1 to Undelete.
