Eva is quite right, WordPerfect transfers using WP's CONVERT do indeed work! Now, isn't that handy? I just did a limited test of it, using a short WP 5.1 document with underlining, italics, boldfacing and an endnote. All survived the conversion just fine. Indeed, once the conversion and mailing and all were finished, the final copy was exactly the same size as the original. Two small problems I did run into that folks might be cautioned against: 1. Do not use WP's long document titles. This appears to trip up the conversion. 2. Before you convert the file back to WordPerfect, make sure that there are not any blank lines in it. That is, all of the characters should be contiguous in the 7-bit format file. (I had a couple of stray carriage returns sneak in there that fouled things up.) Thanks for the guidance, Eva. This should be very helpful to SCREEN-L FILELIST. P.S. I still have the test file in my mainframe account. If anyone else would like me to send it to them so they may test it out, just send me personal e-mail: [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask]
