WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: A secondary merge file was exported to WordPerfect from DataPerfect. In the primary file, fields 17-21 have an advance code to position 6.75 so that they line up on a pre-printed purchase order. Field 32 also advances to position 6.75 but does not line up correctly, and WP prompts the customer for a hyphen. All of the fields have the same length in DataPerfect and stay the same length when imported to WP. The user took out all of the unnecessary spaces in the secondary file and placed [Dec Tabs] before fields 17-21 and 32 because he wanted them lined up at the decimal. This solved the problem.
