Problem

Solutions: A customer wanted to convert IBM Writing Assistant files to WordPerfect 5.x. He was going to save the file into ASCII format but discovered that there was an option in the IBM Writing Assistant which allowed the files to be saved into IBM DCA RFT format. If this option is used the WordPerfect Convert Program will be able to convert the files and preserve a larger number of codes. Another option is to follow the steps below to convert the Writing Assistant files to ASCII text. 1. Retrieve the file in the Writing Assistant program. 2. Exit back to the main menu then press 3 for Print. 3. Change the 3rd line down from Print to:Printer to Print to:? (where ? is a filename). A Print to Disk file in Writing Assistant is in ASCII format.
