WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: The ASCII equivalent of a tab code is 9. This code can be inserted in a document by pressing Alt-9 (on the keypad) or by pressing Ctrl-V, 4,1. The character that appears on the screen is a round hollow bullet. This may prove helpful when wanting to maintain tab codes in a document that is saved in DOS text format. Tab codes that are entered in a document are converted to spaces when the document is saved into DOS text format. Therefore, when the same document is retrieved in WordPerfect, the tab codes do not appear. If the customer replaces all tab codes with the ASCII tab character, before saving the document, the tab codes are maintained when retrieved into WordPerfect.
