"Unknown File Format" Converting MS Word 5.0 |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: A customer has a file that originated in MS Word 5.0 for the Mac 2se. In Word 5.0, there is an option to convert to MS-DOS/DCA RFT format. When she tries to convert that MS-DOS/DCA RFT file to WP 5.1 using the auto-detection as her source format and WordPerfect 5.1 as her target, the message "Unknown File Format" comes up. She also tried selecting IBM DCA RFT as her source format and that gave her the same message. Solutions: The file was not saved as or converted to DCA format. Development does not know what file format it is in. It was suggested to the customer that she save her files as the native MS Word 5.5 format, then bring it over to DOS and use ConvertPerfect on the original file. The fewer the number of conversions, the better. |
