- TITLE: Opening a Rich Text Format File Produces a Magic Bad Error
- PRODUCT: Ami Pro 2.0
- DATE: 13-Nov-1991
-
- PROBLEM:
-
- Attempting to open a Rich Text Format file in Ami Pro sometimes produces a
- Magic Bad error.
-
- SOLUTION:
-
- Opening (importing) a Rich Text Format file or a WordPerfect file containing a
- table in Ami Pro's draft view may produce a Magic Bad error or other
- unpredictable results. Such files can be opened in Ami Pro by changing to the
- layout view before opening the files.
-
- RECOMMENDATION: Open all Rich Text Format files and WordPerfect files
- containing tables in Ami Pro's layout mode.
-
- An updated Rich Text filter (RTF.FLT size 49408 dated 10-21-91) can be
- obtained which will enable you to open, in draft mode, Rich Text Format files
- or WordPerfect files containing tables. Contact the Lotus Development
- Corporation Word Processing Division Customer Service Department at 404-256-
- 2272 and request the Ami Pro release 2.0 filters disk. This disk contains all
- of the most current filters for Ami Pro release 2.0. The latest filters for
- Ami Pro 2.0 are also available electronically from the Lotus WPD bulletin
- board at 404-851-1371 and from library 2 Ami and Ami Pro on the LotusWP
- CompuServe forum. Download the file FILT20.EXE from either location.
-
- HOW TO INSTALL THE UPDATED FILTERS
-
- 1. From the Windows Program Manager, run File Manager (there is usually an
- icon in one of the Windows program groups for the File Manager).
- 2. In File Manager, access the drive where the updated filter files are
- located. For example, if the files are on a disk in drive A, select the A
- drive icon.
