Problem

Symptoms: The customer cannot convert files created in Word for Windows (WinWord) 2.0 to WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS. Solutions: Listed below are some options to convert WinWord files to WP 5.1 format: 1. Save the WinWord files as WP 5.1 format from WinWord. 2. Save the WinWord files as WinWord 1.1 files from WinWord and convert them through ConvertPerfect. 3. Save the WinWord files as RTF format from WinWord and convert through ConvertPerfect. The exported files should not be fast saved. WordPerfect for Windows and ConvertPerfect will both support WinWord 2.0 files in the future. Note: As of the 12/17/92 release of ConvertPerfect, Fast Save is supported in the WinWord conversion drivers. As a troubleshooting option, when customers are having problems converting files, have them turn off the Fast Save feature in Word for Windows and resave the file. In this situation, an STR should be written indicating whether or not turning off Fast Save solved the problem.
