The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: When a customer tries to run a macro, the error "Incorrect Format" displays. Solutions: The macro is trying to nest a macro that is the incorrect format; for example, a WP 5.1 macro or a WPWin 5.2 macro. Check to see if the macro really is a WP 6.0 macro by retrieving the file. If it is a valid WP 6.0 macro, then check to see if the macro is nesting another macro. Then check to see if that macro is a valid WP 6.0 macro. Another customer received the error "Incorrect Format" when playing a macro. The customer had the default file format for saving documents set to WordPerfect 5.1/5.2. When the customer changed the default file format to WordPerfect 6.0, the error no longer occurred. How/Why: In order for a WP 5.1 macro to be executed in WP 6.0, it needs to be converted from WP 5.1 using the MCV (Macro Convert) utility.
