The following are some special considerations to be aware of in this
conversion.
The Running head code and the Tab definitions are in the Paragraph
attributes in the internal file format. These attributes are under
the "Document" menu in Write for Windows.
Write for Windows places the extra space between lines before the
paragraph where the line spacing attribute is set. WordPerfect puts
this space after the paragraph. Because of this the White space
before or After a paragraph may not be equivalent and will need to be
edited by user to achieve the same results.
Write for Windows 3.1 stores all figures as a type of OLE object.
These objects do not have the graphic image associated with them.
Because of this WordPerfect 5.2 for Windows doesn't display the
objects correctly. WordPerfect 5.2 for Windows will keep the box in
the document, but it will throw away the OLE.
Write for Windows needs not have any white space before the tab set to
have a tab align at the tab set. WP requires some white space before
a tab set for its tabs. If there is not enough white space before the
tab set WP will align at the next tab set. This could cause tabs to
align improperly.
