Hi, Don, it was so nice to meet your family at that time, too!  Be sure to tell 
them hi from us here, if they remember us.

The whole reason I got started using DP way back when was because it could 
import word processing files - and keep the underline and bold formatting.  
Paradox and Access couldn't do that.

DP23 can import merge files from WP42, WP51, and anything up to the latest WP 
for Windows, which is what I am currently using (WPX5).  It truly is an amazing 
program.

Laurie

  Hi Laurie. Still remember "Surf City" and your families' hospitality so very 
well. Frankly, I never knew that DP ever did import 5.1 merge files but then 
again, it isn't something I would often have thought of doing and it's been so 
long since I've used 5.1 I can hardly remember it. Does 2.3 import 5.1?

    Hello, everyone,

    I just installed the DP2.6Y to try it again after some years (I have been 
using 2.3 all this time), and I think now I remember why I stopped using it all 
those years ago.  I tried to import some WP51 merge files (with the new{END 
FIELD} and {END RECORD} merge codes), and it won't import anything at all. 
Strangely, it will import WordPerfect 4.2 merge files, with the old style ^R 
and ^E merge codes.  Have I done something wrong, or is this a known "feature" 
of DP2.6?

    Thanks!

    Laurie
