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

Problem

Symptoms: Keyboard Merge. In 5.0 a user could see the document on the screen and move the cursor wherever desired before pressing the F9 key. Often, it was necessary to refer to the context of the document in order to know what should be entered at the merge prompt. In 5.1, the only thing that appears on the screen is the text preceding the input code and the prompt at the bottom of the screen. The document does not appear until the input code has been accessed by pressing F9. This must see the full text and be able to scroll through it at any time, making editing changes if necessary, pressing F9 to take him back to his prompt. Solutions: In 5.0, the merge process would take the primary file into memory and then merge the secondary file into the primary file already in memory. To conform more to industry standards, merge in 5.1 now simultaneously merges the primary and the secondary file into memory at the same time. Therefore, instead of inserting the secondary file into the primary like 5.0 does, 5.1 combines the files together as it loads the files into memory. The text below the merge code cannot be seen in 5.1 because not all the file has been pulled into memory yet. This is the way most of the rest of the industry now works.
