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.

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? Don Friedman Pittsburgh 2011/3/23 Laurie Corvacho <[email protected]> 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!
