Another option is to use WordPerfect 8 for Windows or some later version. WP 8 does an excellent job at simulating WP 5.1. So you can use Instant Text with WP 8 and produce 5.1 output. Here is how.

Instructions to Setup Corel 8 to print as WP 5.1

There are three steps:

Go to Tools/Settings/Files
In this dialog, you can specify the Default save file format.
You should specify WordPerfect 5.1/5.2
To get compatibility, you will also need to use the same font:
Go to Format Font
Select Default Font and specify the Courier font they use.
Finally, you will need to change the line spacing as follows:
Go to Format/Typesetting/ Line/Word Spacing
Put a check in the checkbox:
Format document based on WordPerfect 5.1 Specifications.

Now your document will be in 5.1 file format and the line spacing identical to that produced by 5.1 natively.

Hope this helps.
