The following italicized note was added to the end of the "Notes, Decimal/Align Character/Thousands' Separator" section:

If you are using an international version of WordPerfect, you can use a period (.) as the decimal/align character regardless of the primary decimal/align character of the package language. However, you cannot use a period (.) as the decimal/align character when you are using the Math function, where both the decimal/align character and the thousands' separator are used together. (This applies to international versions only.) (#1,933)

Appendix G: Initial Settings
      Page(s): 750
The Initial Setting for "Format Retrieved Documents for Default Printer" was changed from "No" to "Yes." (#1,873)

The "Superscript, equation 166, 176, 189" index entry was changed to the following:

Superscript
attribute 36
equation 166, 177, 189 (#1,665)

Labels
      Page(s): 319
The following information was inserted at the end of the "Labels Macro" third-level heading (right after the italicized note):

When you retrieve the Labels macro, a list of preset label definitions for laser printers appears. Press Switch (Shift-F3) to see a list of label definitions for tractor-fed (dot matrix) printers.

You can scroll through either list by pressing the arrow keys or Page Up (PgUp) and Page Down (PgDn). You can also move the cursor to a particular definition by typing the name of that definition. With the definition highlighted, press Enter to begin building the label.

WordPerfect prompts you to specify how paper is fed into your printer. For information on these location options, see Editing a Definition under Paper Size/Type in Reference.

When you select an option, a message on the status line asks whether you want to insert the label definition into Document Initial Codes. Even if you choose not to insert the label definition into Document Initial Codes, the definition will still be added to your Format: Paper Size/Type menu. (#2,181)

Language
      Page(s): 325
An entry for Turkish (Language Code TK) was added to the Language Codes list. (#1,879)

Compose
      Page(s): 81
1. The following paragraph was inserted immediately under the third-level
"Ctrl-v" heading on page 81:

You can use the Ctrl-v keystroke to access Compose from the normal editing screen and from many other places in WordPerfect. However, if you press Ctrl-v from Window Edit structures such as comments and document summaries, or from Line Edit structures such as macro descriptions and other document summary fields, the "Key =" prompt will not be displayed on your screen.

2. The first sentence in the next paragraph (existing first paragraph) on
page 81 was changed to read:

You cannot use the Ctrl-v keystroke to access Compose from the Macro Editor. You must press Ctrl-2 instead. (#1,864)

Paper Size/Type
      Page(s): 474
The third paragraph under "Codes" was changed to read:

If you edit a definition after a code has been inserted into the document, WordPerfect automatically updates the Paper Size/Type code to reflect the new definition when you exit the Format: Paper Size/Type menu. (#1,934)

Appendix K: Macros and Merge, Programming Commands
      Page(s): 821
The following paragraph was added after the existing first paragraph in the NEST SECONDARY}filename~ section:

If you nest a secondary file from a secondary file, the first record in the nested secondary file effectively replaces the record
containing the {NEST SECONDARY} command in the original secondary
file and execution continues in the nested file. When execution
returns to the parent secondary file, the record pointer skips to
the next record after the one containing the {NEST SECONDARY}
command. (For more information on the record pointer, see Record
Pointer under Notes at the end of this section.) Therefore, you
can only nest one secondary file per record in the parent secondary
file. In addition, any field text following the {NEST SECONDARY}
command is ignored. (#1,146)

Language
      Page(s): 325
The Language Code for Czechoslovakian was changed from CS to CZ. (#1,936)

To use the option, enter convert/cp=code page number to start the program.
