In principal the format of this internal document part is the same like in previous versions, but one difference is that the minor version number is raised from 1 to 2. OLE embedded objects are stored inside a storage called PerfectOffice_OBJECT, whereas the real document part is now stored as stream PerfectOffice_MAIN. The file name extension and mime type still remains the same like in previous versions. This is called " WordPerfect Compound File". Since version 7 WordPerfect can also store the documents using Microsoft OLE Compound file format. See fmt/1424 The method for encryption is fairly simple and can be quickly recovered. Files having encryption created by WordPerfect 4.2 begin with the " FEFF6161". WordPerfect 4.2 allows "locking" of the document which will require a password in order to open the file. WordPerfect 4.2 use plain ascii with no magic header values. The "signature bytes" at the beginning of a WordPerfect 5+ file are (hex) FF 57 50 43, which spells "WPC" after a flag character #255. WordPerfect uses so called 'printer definitions' for "pretty printing". Name for both word processing application and file format. There are separate articles for these formats:
