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

Problem

Symptoms: When you merge and use an ASCII delimited file WordPerfect gives an option for field and record delimiters but not for a character to be stripped. Is there a reason for this? Also, when converting from an ASCII delimited file to WordPerfect even though there is a comma between a city and a state. WordPerfect does not put an end field code there. However, when you have a number (12,000) WordPerfect will insert an end field code. The customer would like a work around for this. Solutions: This problem has been assigned a low priority. Problems that have been assigned a low priority are subject to review, and may change if the reported number of customer calls increases. If you receive calls on this, please submit it as a candidate for the Hotlist.
