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

Problem

Solutions: Enhancement:
A user requested that WordPerfect 5.1 include the capability to convert endnotes to text.

Answer:
Although WordPerfect 5.1 does not currently contain a feature that converts endnotes to text, users can do one of two things to accomplish this task. The first is to select the Standard or DOS Text printer (the Standard printer is automatically installed with the initial installation of WP), set the port to a filename (e.g., C:\TEST), and print the full document. If the customer then retrieves the printed file (i.e., C:\TEST), the endnotes will be in text format after the last page of the document.

Another option is to create a macro. Customers must run this macro with Reveal Codes off, or a "y" will be typed for each replacement in the document. The commands, codes, and explanations of the codes for this macro are listed below. These commands need to be entered while users are in the Macro Editor (Home, Ctrl-F10).
