Converting RFT Files - "Invalid Text Unit"
DocumentID: 651229
Revision Date: 29-Feb-96 8:29:05 PM

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

Problem

Symptoms: The customer is using Personal Services/PC communication package version 1.3 to transfer files from IBM 5520, which saves the files in RFT format. He then uses the Convert program to convert to WP and receives errors: "Invalid Body Text Structure" and "Invalid Text Unit." Some documents work correctly, but others do not. Solutions: This particular problem was caused by the inability of CONVERT.EXE to convert files that were larger than 60K. This has been fixed in the release following the 06/29/90 release of CONVERT.EXE. However, if the file size is not a problem, the customer should check another item. Before customers save their documents created with the IBM 5520, they must unmark all of the words in their files that are marked for spelling from within the 5520 in order for WP to convert correctly.

Users can convert IBM 5520 MCD files with ConvertPerfect by selecting IBM DCA format.
