Search And Replace Merge Codes |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: The 03/30/90 release of WordPerfect 5.1 has the ability to search and replace merge codes. Users with versions of WP 5.1 prior to that date may do the following to search and replace with Merge E (^E) and Merge R (^R) codes: 1. Start at the top of the secondary file and search for two hard return [HRt] codes, the normal delimiter for a record. Replace the [HRt] with [HRt]^E[HPg]. This action will divide each record with a page break. 2. At the top of the secondary file, search for a [HRt] and replace with ^R[HRt]. This action will place a Merge R (^R) code and a [HRt] at the end of each line. 3. Press Ctrl-F9 (Merge), 3 (Convert Old Merge Codes). The secondary file will now have the WP 5.1 {END FIELD} and {END RECORD} codes. Note: Copies of the WordPerfect 5.1 manual dated 10/90 and earlier state that search and replacing merge codes is not supported. |
