Works: Paragragh Indenting Lost When Converting

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

Paragraph indent formatting that is applied using CTRL+H for a hanging indent or CTRL+N for a nested indent is lost after going through the Works conversion utility WPTOWP.EXE. This utility is accessed by choosing Convert from the File menu. This problem occurs for all the choices under Convert:

Microsoft Word Microsoft RTF IBM DCA

All other paragraph formatting that is applied using the paragraph formatting keys (as noted in the “Microsoft Works Keyboard Guide”) convert without problems.

Workaround
Apply paragraph indenting manually using the menu commands. Select the Format menu, then choose Indents & Spacing (ALT, T, A), and insert the appropriate measurements. This method of formatting will convert properly to any of the above formats when using WPTOWP.EXE.

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
