Fife Disk TITE Cr.

ASCII.TXT Processing file. TEXTWPT: Converts an ASCII file into a Brother Word • Conversions to or from ASCII files are carried out according to the IBM PC Code on page 193. For details about code page switching, refer to your DOS manual (DOS command mode device codepage). A table on page 175 shows all characters that can be correctly converted. Characters which are not included in that table are converted into blank spaces. BROTHER.SPR ->LOTUS123.WK1: Converts a Brother Spreadsheet file into the Lotus® 1-2-3® format. • Conversions to or from Lotus® 1-2-3® files are carried out according to LICS (Lotus International Character Set). For details, refer to your Lotus® 1-2-3® manual. Converting Brother Word Processing Files to a PC Format • WP TEXT.WPT -> ASCII.TXT(Text Only) • WP TEXT.WPT ->ASCII.TXT(Text with Layout) You may wish to use the data you create with the Word Processing application on a PC. To do this, you must first convert the Word Processing file into the ASCII format. Once this is done, you will be able to import the ASCII file into most word processing applications available on PCs. An ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) file consists of printable data including no special formatting codes for underlining, boldface, etc. These special formatting features, such as underlining, do not translate correctly between your word processor and a computer. Therefore, when a file is converted to ASCII, all special formats are eliminated. Once the file is transferred, the file must be reformatted and any special effects must be added.
