Re: [LegacyUG] Establishing a Word Processor

[gociao]

Thank you to all who responded to my problem. It's now solved.
WordPerfect x5 works reasonably will in handling and .RTF file. However,
I need to edit a great deal, but that would most likely be the case with
whatever program converts the .RTF. Creating a hardbound book is
time-consuming.

Thanks.

Jerry

As Jay said:

>From the Menu > Options>Customize> Launch> Word Processor, you have the 
>correct path for Legacy to find the exe file for your WordPerfect??<

You will want to navigate to the .exe file in Windows Explorer to get
the full path.  The path will be similar (mine is Win7) to the one for
WPX11 in the screenshot below (click on Full Size at the top to view).

http://screencast.com/t/uoxDJFuVM

This works for me.  After you save your report file to .rtf, Legacy
will ask if you want to open your word processor and it does just
that.  I'd be interested to know how well the rtf translates in WPx5.

Thanks, Jay

Virginia

Ok, now to the basics. How do I set XP so that WordPerfect x5 is the default 
program for .rtf files?

Re: [LegacyUG] Establishing a Word Processor

[Virginia Blakelock]

Jerry -

That is a Windows fix, associating a file extension with a particular
program.  Rightclick on any .rtf file from Legacy, click on Properties
/ Opens with / Change button.  Select WPX5 as the default.  That will
be a permanent fix for all future .rtf files.

That is not necessary as long as Legacy has the path to the program one wishes 
to use.

Make sure to SAVE that page whenever you make a change.

[LegacyUG] Establishing a Word Processor

[gociao]

Hello,
 Can someone tell me how to establish a word processor program as
the default for Legacy? Whenever I create an RTF file, it always opens
in word pad or note pad. I want it to open in my word processor,
WordPerfect X5, but I keep getting error 53 - File not found. Following
the instruction in "Error 53 - File not found" keeps giving me the same
message. Obviously, I'm not doing something right.
Thanks for you help.
