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

Problem

Solutions: As explained in the WordPerfect 5.1 manual, there are two types of Tab codes, a regular Tab and a hard Tab. The difference between the two is that the regular Tab (entered by pressing the Tab key) will reformat to the current Tab setting type but hard Tabs (entered with Home, Tab) will remain constant regardless of the Tab setting type. The regular Tab, when entered in a document will appear in List Files as [Tab]. The hard Tab will appear as [TAB] in all caps. Because there are two types of Tabs, a problem may arise when users convert files from other programs into 5.1 format. If this is not what the user would like, a Search and Replace can be run to change the hard Tab to a regular Tab after the file is converted to WordPerfect.
