I guess clumsy is subjective.  We had to convert DECMATE documents for
administrative offices.  We used a Rainbow with WPS on it to convert
documents to DEC DX format.  The files were copied onto a floppy disk and
put in a directory on a PC.  Software Bridge from Systems Compatibility
Corp. was used to convert the files from DEC DX to WP 5.1.  Some offices
said the conversion was okay, some offices said they just retyped
everything.  Empty documents and merge control files caused error messages.

If it's a one time, one way conversion then I would keep doing what you are
doing.

Subject:      Replacing with a subscript

There have several replies to the recent question submitted by
jmarold@slic.cts.com (wherever that may be). He evidently had the need to
include a subscript in the Replace string of the Alt-F2 command. The fact of
the matter is that WP will not do it if tried in the normal way. All the
suggested methods were theoretically correct but do not work.

In order to include either a subscript or a superscript into the Replace
string, you have to first use Ctrl-F8, Size, Subscript, type the subscript, but
instead of Ctrl-F8, Normal (or right arrow which normally works just as well),
you have to again go Ctrl-F8, Size, Subscript to get the ending code into the
string.

I feel that this is a bug because no normal person would think of this
work-around.

Using "o" and "e" works fine on my HP DeskJet 500.  I was advised all
this can depend on what version of WP one has (mine is last update of 5.1).

Subject:      Re: WangWriter ---> WordPerfect? How?

It's possible to do this if wangwriter can write out a nondocument file.
That is to say a file that is pure ascii text.
Once this is done the rest will be rather simple.  The cp/m system
will need to get a copy of kermit installed on it along with the files
to be converted.  You put a null modem cable between the cp/m machine
and a pc.  You have kermit installed on the pc.  You start kermit up on both
sides and send the files to the pc.  You tell the pc kermit to act as a server
for the cp/m kermit and you can send all files over this way.
There is a utility program in msdos kermit called xsend and if it's
available for cp/m you'll be able to have xsend send all files
over using wildcard specifications on the cp/m side.  You'll need a utility
like u-flip to convert the line endings or crlf.
Once converted it will be possible to import directly into wp like you
do a dos ascii file.
If the cp/m machine can't move you will still be able to do this but it'll
need two modems and a phone call.  Use the modems instead of the null modem
cable.

hope this helps.

jude <dashiell@nadc.nadc.navy.mil>
p.s. if you can redirect wangwriter's printer output to a file on disk
you'll get the ascii text files you need if the word processor can't write
out files in ascii text format.  I don't know if cp/m has a utility like
lptx but if it does you're in luck.
Also, if you can get this, you can open up your own
conversion service for any cp/m word processor whose files you can access.

Subject:      kerning

Kerning isn't proportional spacing. Kerning allows certain letter
combinations, like LY, to overlap slightly. Proportional spacing means
spaces are narrower than most characters. Non-proportional means every
character and space are the same width. Maybe the answer to the problem
is to look for a driver that includes proportional fonts in the font
selection.

Type o instead of odd and e instead of even.

Another tip - to print from the beginning of the file to say, page 10
pick the multiple pages option and type  -10.  To print from page 10
to the end of the file type 10-  .

I do not know the details of the site-license agreement, but I do know
that here at the University of Missouri WordPerfect, DrawPerfect, and
the shell program (I forget what they call this one - maybe NotPerfect?)
are used all over campus on a site license.  The incremental cost to a

My question - how do you specify a letter position? I see in the sort

you tell it to look at the last letter of a word?

Subject:      Creating sec merge files outside WP

Our Setup
---------
My office manages a database of roughly 160,000 people on a VAX.  We use a
retrieval language called Natural (by Software AG).  We routinely get
requests for selected data in WP secondary merge format.

What We Did Using WP 5.0
------------------------
Using Natural,  we access the database and create ASCII text files which
can be brought into WP (via Text In/Out) and be recognized as WP 5.0 sec
merge files.  Merge codes ^R and ^E are entered by the Natural program
using their ASCII equivalents.

What We'd Like To Do in WP 5.1
------------------------------
We could continue to do exactly the same as before--bringing the ASCII
text file into WP 5.1--but we'd also like to take advantage of the field
naming abilities of 5.1.

Here's The Question
-------------------
Does anyone know how to build the necessary codes into an externally
created sec merge file which, when imported into WP 5.1, will be
recognized as the {FIELD NAMES} section?  I've gotten nothing but shugged
shoulders from our friends in Utah.

My Thanks

Thanks.

We have been through a major DECmate to WP 5.1 conversion on our campus as
all university offices had DECmates.  Once we found the right mix of software,
the process is most successful.  We accomplished this task as follows.


1.  We transferred all documents to the VAX using DEC's DECdx software.  We
then had a DOCxxx.DX file.   We _did not_ convert that file to ASCII.

2.  The communications software we found to be the best on the DOS micro was
Polygon's PolyCom 240.  So, we transferred them as binary files to the micro.

3.  Then we used Perfect Exchange by Software Compatibility to convert the
formatting codes.  I have been surprised at how clean this was including
super/subscripting, compose characters, control blocks, page formatting, etc.
We have been pleased, as have the users, in salvaging their documents.

Does anyone else have the problem I do with sorting tables?

When I try, it does not sort the CONTENTS of the locations, but rather
the whole cell. And since the border lines are considered part of the
cell, you always end up with the bottom of the table having NO bottom
line, and the entry that WAS on the bottom is now in the middle, and it
has a double bottom line.

Ugh.

Is there something obvious that I'm overlooking?

I have the same problem someone mentioned a few days ago--I need to print
on both sides of the paper, odd numbered pages on one side and even
numbered pages on the other.  I have tried ALL of the suggestions mentioned
on the list so far (the one mentioned in the original post, and
substituting 'o' and 'e' for "odd" and "even"), and none of them work;
my computer just clicks and whirls and nothing happens, or
sometimes the entire document begins printing, i.e. all pages (or at least
the ones specified in the Multiple pages option)

If anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.

Someone recently posted an article on how to import encapsulated PostScript
files into graphics boxes in WORD_PERFECT; Only problem is, I'm used to
seeing the graphic on the screen instead of POSTSCRIPT INFORMATION. Any help
on this seemingly absurd way of doing things.
