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

Problem

Symptoms: When using the Printer Command File feature in WP to insert Postscript codes from an ASCII file, the customer noticed that creating the ASCII file in WP caused the ^Z to be inserted in the document after the ASCII text file. When he creates this ASCII text file in MS Word the ^Z in not inserted into the document. Solutions: This is working exactly the way it is designed. This is also the same way DOS works if you create a text file out at DOS. We did not claim that WP could be used as a program/text editor, only that it works with DOS text files. If the customer does not want a ^Z, put this in as an enhancement request. He can remove that ^Z if he has some type of program editing device.
