Wordperfect 5.0 File Size 1

[deeaccess]

Hi All,

In Wordperfect 5.0, if the document has, let's say, 30 pages and you delete all 30 pages in the document and you then leave 3 or 4 words remaining in the document. Then save the file. My question is why does the file size remain the same as if the document still had 30 pages.

This situation does not happen if you were to create a new document, and then save it with 3 or 4 words in it. The file size is much smaller.

Thank you for your help.

It is because you have wp set to save deletions for and Undo. Go into your Edit, Undo/Redo, Options history to reset your number of redos and to save them with the document or not.

See this thread for other info. faq67-5285

Thank you for your response.

However, the instructions provided in your posting are more relavent to the newer versions of WordPerfect.

I do not think there are any menus in WordPerfect 5.0 where you can go to "Edit, Undo/Redo, Options history to reset your number of redos and to save them with the document or not."

Thanks again.

I provided what I suspected might be the problem. I only go back to wp51 myself. I don't think my old xt would even boot up anymore. Maybe I will try to install wp51 on xp sometime...

You might try this other forum for some help.
