Moving the QuickCorrect to New Location
One will need to copy the UWL file from the previous folder to the new. At the same, if the QuickCorrect file is for a different version of WordPerfect, one will need to change the number of the file name.
If going from WordPerfect 12 to WordPerfect X5, the file will need to be renamed from "WT12US.UWL" to "WT15US.UWL"
