Paradox 8 and Wordperfect 8

Messy but doable. Try this.
Unless I am wrong.
1. Create a merge file.
It should read field1, field2, field3,
2) merge your data.
3) do crtl F.(search) Choose Match>codes. Replace HPG with
HRT (Page with paragraph). Replace all.
Copy the ensuing piece to Notebook. You will have a certain amount of detritis on the top (font codes, etc) and possibly at the end. Delete this and save the notebook file as whatever.csv (choose any file and then write out the entire name)
I save these to my desktop to make it easier, since Paradox stubbornly insists on using only the working directory, even if you have been somewhere else.
Now import it.
If this isn't exactly right, open any csv file with wordpad and check out the structure, then readjust your system.
OR
I thought there was a way to save .dat info in a table, but I can't find it. If there is, you can just cut the table and paste it into excel or whatever the Corel counterpart is, save that as csv and import that into pdx. Corel has never been about making things easy. Intricately flashy, yes. Easy, no.
I remember one of my early complaints when they still listened, more or less, that using the address book left me with two entries, which messed up searching. "Oh," said the sweet woman in Canada, "Our techs know about that, but I guess they just don't think it's importane enough to fix. We've had a lot of complaints about it."
I remember when the stock shot up to seventy. Never figured out why. But thre mus be a better way to solve your problem. SOmebody help this person.
