The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The computer locks when the customer exports a file from WP 6.0 into MS Word 5.0 format and then retrieves the file again into WP 6.0. Also, saving a WP 6.0 document in RTF format then retrieving it again into WP as RTF changes some formatting in the document. Solutions: As a workaround for the first problem, the customer can save the WP 6.0 file as an MS Word 5.0 file, open the file in MS Word, scroll through the file, and then save it from Word. The file will then open in WP 6.0 as an MS Word file without problems. Status: Next Interim after 09/13/93 (6.0a) ***|next interim|*** Press Enter on link token. How/Why: Taking the file out of WP 6.0 format and back again is called round tripping. WordPerfect does not support "round tripping" of third-party document file formats. WP is not an RTF formatter. Although a file converted to RTF format has RTF specifications, when it is brought back into WP, some formatting may be altered. WP does the best that it can with the conversion.
