Indent - With [DSRt]s Displays Inconsistently |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: When a customer uses Indent, the position of some of the lines changes. He is using the default tab settings. He presses Indent, which moves him to position 1.5". He then holds one key down, such as the letter d, until he has five rows of one character. Then he moves up to row 2, which begins on position 1.5" and presses Indent to move to position 2". When he scrolls down the document to row 5, rows 3 through 5 indent to position 2.5", and when he scrolls back up to row 1, the lines move back to 2", which is correct. He would like to know why this is happening. Solutions: The problem with the sporadic indent is caused by the fact that when he holds down the "d" key for five rows, five [DSRt] codes are inserted at the end of each line. The [DSRt] code says that you have a line without a break that stretches from margin to margin. The program temporarily continues this long "word" to the next line. When you change the margin (i.e., by pressing Indent), the [DSRt] then becomes confused since it is initially, at least in part, based on the margin of the previous line. In this example, if you remove the [DSRt]s by placing a space at the end of each line, the problem no longer occurs. |
