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

Problem

Symptoms: The customer is experiencing problems converting MultiMate II files into WordPerfect 5.1. Greek characters and mathematical characters are not converting across properly; these characters are converting to regular ASCII text characters. Solutions: Because of the way MultiMate composes the characters, it is impossible for WP to know which character is being represented by which keyboard; thus, those special characters come over as the key that was pressed after the keyboard change. For the characters to convert properly, the customer must first change the fonts, change keyboards, type a remapped character which represents the composed character, and then change back to the base font.

A work around, however, is to perform a Search and Replace for a font change, followed by that character, and then replace it by the composed character desired after the document is converted from MultiMate to WP.
