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

Problem

Symptoms: The user has set Create Document Summary On Exit and Long Documents to Yes through Setup (Shift-F1, 3, 4). When the user saves a document and names it AAAA BBBB CCCC DDDD 1, WordPerfect saves under the DOS filename AAAABBBB. When the user retrieves and alters this document and wants to save it under a new filename, he presses F10 to save and WP gives the name as AAAA BBBB CCCC DDDD 1. He cursors over and deletes the "1" and changes it to "2". However, WordPerfect then asks if he wants to replace AAAABBBB. But, if he creates a new document and saves it as AAAA BBBB CCCC DDDD 2, WP gives it the DOS filename AAABBBCC. He wants to know why WP prompts him to replace a saved document after he changed the long document name. Solutions: As noted in the Folio memo WP51_3646D, changing the Long Document name should not change the DOS filename. For this reason the user was prompted to replace saved files which he had retrieved and made long name alterations. Creating a new file will give a different DOS filename if the first formula yields a DOS name of an already existing file.
