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

Problem

Solutions: A document saved into ASCII format in WordPerfect (Ctrl-F5) displayed full of the female characters when "typed" (TYPE) at DOS. The document had been formatted using the column feature. The column codes were stripped from the file, but the hard page breaks remained. The [HPg] codes displayed as the female character when the document was typed at DOS. The user eliminated the garbage characters by retrieving the document in WP, replacing the extra hard page breaks ([HPg]) with hard returns (or nothing) using a search and replace, then resaving the file into an ASCII format. *This information is given as a troubleshooting option.
