File Structure

WordPerfect files are ASCII files.  The text is neither encrypted nor
compacted.  There is no end-of-file character, and padding past the end of a
document with garbage may cause WordPerfect to crash.

Formatting or function codes are embedded as they occur in the text.  No code
is used for beginning of file or end of file.  When creating WordPerfect files
from other programs, keep in mind the following:

o    The initial WordPerfect margin settings are usually 10 and 74,
     and it is best to keep the line length to 65 or less, unless you
     change the margin settings.
o    It is best not to pad with spaces.


Function Codes

All function codes are listed in hexadecimal.  All except the first five have
the high bit set.  Function codes above $C0 are discussed under "Multi-Byte

Multi-Byte Functions

Multi-byte function codes mark commands which require more than one byte.
They mark both the beginning and end of such functions in the file.  The
length is indicated for most functions, but some have a variable length.  In
these cases, programs should scan for the second occurrence of the function
code to indicate the end of the function.

     Length    Code    Command                    Format

     Note:  Spacing values are stored in half-line increments.

     Note:  If the alignment character is $0A (hard new line) then

     tab stop.

Bits 0-1:    Type:    0 = Header A    Bits 2-7:    Occurrence: 0 = Never
                      1 = Header B                             1 = All pages

                      3 = Footer B                             4 = Even pages

Note:  The low-order two bits of the old def byte (the old types) must be correct.

     The Def Byte is defined as follows:
     Def Bit 0:    0 = use numbers
                   1 = use characters
     Def Bit 1:    0 = footnote
                   1 = endnote

     If Def Bit 0 = 0, then Values A and B are the footnote or
     endnote number taken together (see below.)  If Def Bit 0 = 1,
     then Value A is the number of characters and Value B is the
     character.

     Note:  Values A and B (when taken together) and Values C and D
     (always) are 14-bit numbers split into 7-bit bytes, high order
     byte first.

     Note:  For endnotes, there is just a null between Value D and
     the $FF byte.
