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

Problem

Symptoms: A customer wants to place escape codes in WordPerfect documents, so he can get ANSI colors to display on screen in a text file. Solutions: This is possible in WordPerfect, but tedious. To put escape codes in a document, you can hold the Alt key down and type the appropriate decimal value for the code you want to enter. For example, the decimal value of ESC (Escape) is 27. So, holding the Alt key down and typing 27 on the number pad will put the proper code in the document. You must save the document as ASCII (DOS) text using the Text In/Out (Ctrl-F5) feature. Other companies make utilities that are designed specifically for this purpose, many of which are shareware. Customers may want to look to local Bulletin Board Services (BBS) for these products.
