Problem

Solutions: FYI: To save Reflex (database program) files into WordPerfect, you must do the following while still in the Reflex program: 1. Load Reflex2, select Report. 2. Retrieve the database file. 3. Using F10, enter each field across a single body row starting with Column 1, Row 1. 4. Use the Export Attribute option to put the file in comma delimited format for each field. After the last field, type the asterisk (*) character. 5. Use Variable Width Attribute to make fields as wide as necessary, but omit this step on the asterisk character. 6. Under the Print/File menu select Change Printer Settings, set the output to a disk file, and give it a filename. 7. Set Top/Bottom margins to 0, left to 0 and right to 254. Set print with page breaks to No, and print the report to a file. Exit the Reflex2 program. 8. Using the ConvertPerfect program, choose the DOS Delimited to WP option. If using CONVERT.EXE, use the Mail Merge to WP option. 9. Set the field delimiter as a comma (,), the record delimiter as an asterisk (*), and the characters to be stripped as a comma and an asterisk (,*).
