Restrictions on ASCII documents

ASCII documents must conform to the following restrictions:

• The documents must be made in codepage 1252 (Microsoft Windows ANSI).
• The documents can only contain the following control codes: Tab (ASCII 9, Hex: 0x09); Line Feed ( = Paragraph break) (ASCII 11, Hex: 0x0a); Carriage Return (ASCII 10, Hex 0x0d); Form Feed ( = Page break) (ASCII 12, 0x0c). Conventional ASCII editors can only produce these four control codes.
• KCM matches these tabs, line feeds, and Form feeds to their appropriate equivalent within Microsoft Word. Carriage returns are ignored.
