SUMMARY
The following is a summary of corrections and enhancements made to the WordPerfect converter and supporting components supplied with the Word 6.0 for Windows Supplemental WordPerfect 5.x/6.0 Converter Kit. This converter is used to convert between Word and WordPerfect 5.0 and 5.1 for MS-DOS and WordPerfect 5.1 and 5.2 for Windows file formats.

All corrections and enhancements listed here have been made since the immediately previous Word 6.0c product release.

Indentation
A significant number of causes for incorrect indentation when importing WordPerfect documents have been resolved. Corrections have been made to the application of hanging and normal indentation in footnotes, indexes, tables of contents, numbered paragraphs, and normal document body text.

Paragraph Numbering
A significant number of paragraph numbering import problems have been addressed by emulating WordPerfect [Par Num] numbering with Sequence fields instead of heading numbering or multilevel lists. Previous problems resulted from numbering model differences in the two products. Issues addressed include:


 * Paragraph numbering sequence restart ignored (for example, a numbering change from 109 to 201 instead converting to 109, 110,...)
 * Loss of text preceding paragraph numbers
 * Skipped (missing) numbers in a numbering sequence

Character Mapping
Two enhancements have been made to allow retention of a greater number of WordPerfect characters when importing a WordPerfect 5.x document:


 * Several TrueType fonts that contain equivalents for WordPerfect special (compose) characters are supplied and installed with the updated converter, and the converter has been optimized to detect and take advantage of these fonts. These fonts include:
 * If the TrueType special character fonts supplied with WordPerfect 6.0 and 6.1 for Windows are installed on your system, the updated WordPerfect converter will detect and use them to preserve all of the special characters they provide. These fonts include:

WPG Graphics Import
The WPG graphic import filter has been updated to provide support for WPG versions 1.0, 1.0a, and 2.0. In addition, a variety of causes for the following problems have been addressed:


 * General protection (GP) faults
 * "Not Enough Memory to Display or Print Picture" errors
 * "Unable to Convert Graphic" errors
 * "Out of Memory" errors
 * Shading reversal
 * Missing pictures
 * Loss of fill patterns
 * Loss of colors
 * Incorrect font mapping
 * Text loss
 * Image sizing, cropping, and scaling problems

"Cannot Find the Graphic File..." for Available Graphics
When you open a WordPerfect document containing a link to a graphic on disk, Word will no longer return the following error message when that graphic is actually available in the directory specified by the link:

"Cannot find the graphic file specified by the document."

Hard Row (Page Break in Table) Ignored
If a WordPerfect table contains a hard page break (represented in WordPerfect Reveal Codes by the [Hrd Row] command), the page break is no longer ignored.

All Endnote Numbers Lost
When a WordPerfect document containing a corrupt Endnote Option ([End Opt]) code is opened in Word, endnote numbers in the document body are no longer lost.

General Protection Faults
Several causes for general protection (GP) faults when importing WordPerfect 5.x documents have been addressed. Among other more isolated causes, the following scenarios will no longer generate a fault:


 * An endnote entry immediately followed by a table of contents entry. For example:
 * An attempt by the converter to embed a Sequence field within a TC field.
