Converted Document Shows Incorrect Line Number Spacing

1.10

WINDOWS

Summary:

If you create a document in Microsoft Word for Windows and convert it for use in WordPerfect 5.0, using CONV-WP5.DLL, the document will display incorrect Line Numbering if the defaults are accepted in Word for Windows. When Line Numbering has been turned on in Word for Windows, and the default values are accepted, including “distance from text = Auto”, the distance from page is zero when the document is loaded in WordPerfect 5.00.

Only AUTO in Word for Windows converts incorrectly as zero. When any other value is manually formatted for the distance, the converted document displays that value as the “position” value in WordPerfect.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows version 1.10. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
