1. INSTALLATION
==================================
This section presents information on installing new filters.
1.1 FILTER INSTALLATION
If the filter is an update to a filter that is currently installed
in your ALDUS.INI:
a) Copy the filter file to the C:\ALDUS\USENGLSH\FILTERS directory
replacing the old filter with the new filter (they should be
named the same).
b) Restart PageMaker or Persuasion.
If this is a completely new filter for you:
a) Copy the new filter file to the C:\ALDUS\USENGLSH\FILTERS directory.
b) Edit your ALDUS.INI file in a text editor such as Windows Notepad.
The ALDUS.INI is normally located in the C:\ALDUS\USENGLSH directory.
c) Add an entry for the new filter. If adding a new import filter, add
the new entry under the [AldusImports] section. If adding a new
export filter, add the new entry under the [AldusExports] section.
The following are sample entries for use with the filters that are
found on the Drivers/Filters Pack #4. Copy the entry from below that
matches your new filter into your ALDUS.INI under the appropriate
section. Note: some filters have more than one entry, e.g. the Lotus
1-2-3 and the DCA/RFT import filters.
[AldusImports]
ASCII/ANSI Import Filter=ASCIIMP.FLT,TXT
DCA Import=DCAIMP.FLT,DCA
RFT Import=DCAIMP.FLT,RFT
Excel Spreadsheet Import=EXCELIMP.FLT,XLS
Excel Chart Import=CHARTIMP.FLT,XLC
Lotus 1-2-3 Rel 1A (.WKS) Import=123IMP.FLT,WKS
Lotus 1-2-3 Rel 2-2.2 (.WK1) Import=123IMP.FLT,WK1
Lotus 1-2-3 Rel 3 (.WK3) Import=123IMP.FLT,WK3
Symphony 1.0-1.01 (.WRK) Import=123IMP.FLT,WRK
Symphony 1.1-2.0 (.WR1) Import=123IMP.FLT,WR1
Word for Windows 1.0 Import=WINWDIMP.FLT,DOC
Word for Windows 2.0 Import=WNWD2IMP.FLT,DOC
Samna Word Import=SAMAWIMP.FLT,SAM
Table Editor Import=TEIMP.FLT,TBL
Ventura Publisher Import=VPIMP.FLT,CHP
XYWrite III Import=XY3IMP.FLT,DOC
WordPerfect 5.0-5.1 Import=WP5IMP.FLT,WP5
[AldusExports]
XYWrite III Export=XY3EXP.FLT,DOC
WordPerfect 5.0-5.1 Export=WP5EXP.FLT,WP5
d) Save the ALDUS.INI as a text only ASCII file.
e) Restart PageMaker or Persuasion.
1.2 IMPROVING PERFORMANCE
Because PageMaker and Persuasion load each installed filter during startup,
the more filters you install, the longer PageMaker's and Persuasion's
startup time will be. We suggest, therefore, that you install only those
filters you will typically use.
But if you must install several filters, there is another option for
accelerating startup. By making modest changes to the filter lines in
ALDUS.INI, you can reduce startup time while still installing all the
filters you need. To do this, open ALDUS.INI using the Notepad and type a
semicolon at the beginning of the line for each filter entry you will
rarely use.
For Example: [AldusImports]
ASCII/ANSI Text Import=ASCIIMP.FLT,TXT
;Rich Text Format (RTF) Import=RTFIMP.FLT,RTF
;Windows Word 1.x Import=WINWDIMP.FLT,DOC
Table Editor Import=TEIMP.FLT,TBL
When you restart PageMaker or Persuasion, these filters will not be loaded.
When you want to use these filters again, remove the semicolon from the
filter lines in ALDUS.INI, and then restart PageMaker or Persuasion.

2. FILTER INFORMATION
=========================================
WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS/Windows Import Filter - WP5IMP.FLT (.WP5)
Version support: This filter supports WordPerfect for DOS versions 5.0 and
5.1 and the new WordPerfect for Windows version 5.1. It was written to
best support the file formats created by versions of WordPerfect for DOS
5.1 with release dates of 12/31/90 and later and versions of WordPerfect
for Windows 5.1 with release dates of 11/4/91 and later.
Face name mapping: This new filter will query the current target printer
used in PageMaker to determine which face name should be used to
replace a face name used in the WordPerfect file. If a user uses the same
target printer as he used in his WordPerfect document file, all face
names should be retained after importing.
Better table importing: A hard return is now inserted after each row of
a table and a tab key is inserted between cells.
Better indent handling: An indent key pressed at the very beginning of a
paragraph will be imported as changing both the left and right margins on
subsequent paragraph. An indent key pressed in the middle of a paragraph
will be imported as a tab key.
Cyrillic characters translation: The new filter supports the WordPerfect
Cyrillic character set (character set 10). In order to take advantage of
this feature you need to be using the Cyrillic version of Windows and fonts
that conform to Microsoft's Cyrillic Windows 3.1 Character Set (CP1251).
