Merge - ^I From Clipper Not Converting To Tab

DocumentID: 652983
Revision Date: 29-Feb-96 8:29:20 PM

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

Problem

Symptoms: A secondary merge file was created in Clipper, and ^I's used to come in as tabs. If you merge this secondary file directly from Clipper, the ^I's just come in as ^I's. If you retrieve the secondary file into WordPerfect and then save the file and remerge, then the ^I's will come in as tabs. However, the tabs are not right-aligned as they should be. Why won't WP recognize the ^I as a tab directly from the Clipper program? Solutions: This information should be written up as an enhancement. If you continue to receive calls on this, please contact your team leader who can take the necessary steps to include the problem on the common call list.
