Problem

Symptoms: The customer was having problems expanding and condensing a master document. Expanding his master document went fine until it reached his seventh subdocument. At that point, his document started condensing on its own and locked up. After he rebooted, he noticed that a large portion of that document had been deleted. Solutions: If a user reboots their machine during a condensing session, WordPerfect creates a file with a .BK! extension which keeps all codes intact and the original file will have 0 bytes. The user can then rename the .BK! file to its original name and everything should work fine again. The above problem was being caused by a missing [Tbl Off] code in the customer's first subdocument. After creating another table and copying the text from the original table, then deleting the original table, everything appeared to work without any problem. When a user condenses a master document, saving the subdocuments, the program actually replaces the document prefix on the individual subdocuments. (The document prefix is also changed on subdocuments with long document names.) If the user happens to reboot before WP has a chance to replace the document prefix completely, it is possible to lose information.
