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

Problem

Symptoms: A user tries to open a RTF file directly into WP 5.1 for DOS, yet no conversion takes place. The document is retrieved into WP 5.1 for DOS containing several strange codes (i.e., s{rtf1\ansi \ddeff1{). Solutions: WP 5.1 for DOS is working as designed. WP 5.1 does not have an automatic document conversion detection feature like WP 6.0 Dos/Windows and WPWIN 5.2. The user will need to convert the file to a WP 5.1 format with ConvertPerfect 2.0 for DOS. This way it can be retrieved correctly into WP 5.1. Causes: Because the RTF file is an ascii file format, it is retrieved into WP 5.1 with the RTF codes.
