I remember 5.1, too! I haven't worked with WP since 6.0. Take care.

Wow! WordPerfect 12 still gives you the option of working in 5.1 mode?
That is great. I still remember that program fondly, and I guess a lot of
other people do as well, for them to keep that option for so many years.

Dear Laura Ann,
When I originally saved The Tale of Genji as an rtf file somehow I made it
as a Wordpad file apparently as I had to put it somewhere. l also, I now
discover, have it in Word Perfect 12 as compatible with Word as a read only
but I can edit it if I change the name. Okay. Now I want to have it as
OpenBook and and to edit there. Can you help me or have I completely
muddied the water. The wordpad rtf Genji is edit-able but when I tried to
move it to Openbook it coverted back to wordpad or was read-only in O-B. All
this confusion is making my head spin.
Before I started as a volunteer with Bookshare I considered myself a
fairly reasonable, educable teacher of writing which means I helped students
edit their work. Now If I can edit a freshman's confusion I really should
be able to validate a copy of a published masterwork with the original in my
lap but . . . .
Can you help me out of this mess. Since I am available most of the time
but I do not want you to be stuck with the phone bill for the telephone call
if you will tell me when to call you - edt or cdt - I will be delighted to
call you. Especially since the print size is no longer a problem if you
have the solution to the conversion all will be well.
OOPS - I don't know if it is an added problem but once in WordPerfect 12 I
get to choose between Word Perfect Mode, WordPerfect Classic Mode (5.1),
Microsoft Word Mode, and Word Perfect Legal Mode. I have always chosen
Microsoft Word Mode (I am not certain why) but with and, I believe all 4 of
them there is a period when it undergoes "conversion". I don't know how
relevant to my coversion to Openbook this is but I cannot open the file
without making a choice. [coverting from one program to another seems almost
more complicated as coverting from one religion to another]. I am beginning
to feel like a "bloomin' idjut".
Yours truly,
Amy

I sent you a note asking what the openbook folder was - I am more than
a little slow today and am running on too many days of too little sleep
[and if Tybalt doesn't let me sleep I am going to read 1000 uses for a Dead
Cat]. I know assume that you are talking about the file categey in
OpenBook. Thank you. I will try it as soon as I get at least a nap. As
you can see the date I am slowly catching up on mail starting with the
newest0 If nothing before, and if there is something on tv I really want to
see, I will probably fall asleep during whatever it is and wake up in time
to be awake all night. That is why I usually answer mail in the early am.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks,
Amy
