Tables - Saving In ASCII Format |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The user cannot save tables in ASCII format (through Text In/Out) without hard pages [HPg] appearing. The user would like the text left in a columns format just as it is in the tables. Another user wants hard returns [HRt] between each row, not hard pages. When another user converted a table to an ASCII delimited file, the cell codes were not replaced with tabs when the table definition code was deleted. Solutions: Exporting to ASCII format will strip all WordPerfect codes from the document. A document containing Tables when exported to ASCII will replace cell codes and then separate each row with a hard page break. Finally, the Table Definition code is removed (this is not in order of how the codes are actually stripped). To avoid this action, simply remove the Table Definition code before exporting the file to ASCII. As the document is exported, WordPerfect will have already removed the table definitions and cell codes, and rows will then be separated by [HRt] codes. However, ASCII format will strip the [Tab] codes inserted by WP when the Table Definition code is deleted. The document will appear in ASCII as if separated by tabs; however, there won't be any WP codes in the document. ASCII format will not support the text to appear exactly as it does in WP. Another user experienced this problem because there was a Center Justification code in the file. Removing this code corrected the problem. |
