Editing Date Code in WP.LRS File |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: When a user has a language code in a document, WordPerfect looks to the WP.LRS (Language Resource) file for the proper date format. The format for most languages besides US English is DATE MONTH YEAR, for example, instead of June 1, 1990, the date would be formatted 1 June 1990 and 06/01/90 would be 01/06/90. The situation may arise that a user, although using a language code, still wants his date formatted in US English. To do this, the user can edit the WP.LRS file and change the date code for the language he is using. Because the WP.LRS file is in Notebook format, the file can be edited in WordPerfect or in Notebook. To edit in WordPerfect: 1. Retrieve the WP.LRS file into a clear screen in WordPerfect. 2. Search for the language code being used in the document (for example UK for UK English). 3. The line after the language code will say 1 3 4. Change this to 3 1, 4. 4. Save the document and exit WordPerfect. 5. When you enter WP again, the date format will show correctly for the document even if the language is other than US English. To edit in Notebook: 1. Retrieve the WP.LRS file into Notebook. 2. Cursor through the List Display to the language code being used in the document. When the correct language code is highlighted, press Enter. 3. Press Tab to move to the field for the date format. 4. Change the 1 3 4 to 3 1, 4. 5. Exit Notebook, saving the WP.LRS file. When you enter WP, the date format will show correctly for the document even if the language is other than US English. If users have more questions about editing the .LRS file, there is a lot of information in the reference section of the WordPerfect manual under "Language" and "Language Resource File." |
