Problem

Solutions: A customer using CONVERT.EXE to convert DisplayWrite files into WP 5.1 format received the error message "File Not Converted -- Null Pointer Assignment." When prompted for the name of the input file, she typed *.DOC without specifying the directory for the files. The problem was corrected by specifying the directory along with the filename. Another customer received the same error when converting files from DisplayWrite also. However, this customer's files were not actually in DisplayWrite format; they were in Microsoft WinWord format. Users should check what format the files are in before trying to convert. *This information is given strictly as a troubleshooting option.
