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

Problem

Symptoms: The customer is trying to convert UK WordStar files to UK WP through CONVERT.EXE, but the files convert to US WP. Solutions: CONVERT.EXE does not support different code pages, but ConvertPerfect does. There is no mention in the WordPerfect 5.1 Reference Manual about using code pages in CONVERT.EXE. The documentation for changing code pages in CV is found on-line by selecting H for Help from the opening screen, selecting N for Name Search at the Help Index, and searching for the keyword language. Pressing Enter on the word language in the Help Index will give information on changing and converting to and from different Code Pages. The information includes valid code page codes. If the customer does not have CV and does not want to purchase it, the customer can create a macro that changes the language code in the converted document from UK to US.
