Problem

Symptoms: A customer has a Lotus spreadsheet and uses the Translate Utility to save it as a DIF file. She then uses CONVERT.EXE to convert her DIF file to a WordPerfect Secondary Merge file. When she retrieves that converted file into WP, all the numeric values that are 195.00 in Lotus, appear as 1.9500000E in WP. This could not be duplicated with a PlanPerfect file saved as DIF. Solutions: The customer's problem was corrected by using fixed decimal numbers in Lotus instead of formulas. DIF format does not support formulas.
