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

Problem

Symptoms: When the user saves a file as ASCII text, many compose characters are converted to Ctrl-Letter characters (e.g., ^A, ^B, etc.) Is there a way to reconvert the control characters back to the actual compose characters? Solutions: If the compose character has an ANSI equivalent, it is left "as is" in the document. If there is not an ANSI equivalent, the character is stripped out. There is no difference between the smiley face and ^A, they both have the same ANSI value of 01. It just depends on how the application wants to display the character.
