WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: Will MultiMate Key Procedures files, Library files, Information Handler files, Template files, and Merge codes convert to WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS? Solutions: Key Procedures, Library, Information Handler, and Template Files
No. MultiMate Key Procedures, Library, and Information Handler files are mini databases comprised of a template that allows users to input several fields. The information is then saved to another file. There is no way to access the information or data file. Additionally, Template files are not in the standard MultiMate document file format.

As a workaround, the customer could convert the entire MultiMate Library file to ASCII text.

Merge Codes
Merge codes will not convert either. MultiMate uses Library styles as part of the merge process in the MultiMate program and ConvertPerfect has no way to read these complex styles. The Merge codes will simply convert over as text.

As a workaround, the customer could merge the files in MultiMate before converting them.

How/Why:
Key Procedures are similar to macros and Library files are similar to WP Merge files, except that they are linked to a library. WP can detect if a Library file (MM Primary Merge file) is being used, but it cannot find or convert it. When converting a MultiMate file, ConvertPerfect will convert until it encounters a library link, at which point it will give the error "Input File Not In Format Specified."
