Parallel Columns Extending Over Several Pages |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: Parallel columns extending over several pages can cause slow character display on the screen in WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS. Solutions: Typing into parallel columns causes a reformatting of the columns with each character typed. In newspaper or short parallel columns, the reformatting appears to be almost instantaneous and is hardly noticeable. However, if the columns extend downward for several pages before returning to the top of the next column, the reformatting time is going to increase significantly. If the Column Definition code [Col Def] is pushed off the bottom of the document screen (with hard return [HRt] or hard page [HPg] codes), the character display speed is almost instantaneous. How/Why: The document was found to have two 55-page long parallel columns. Removing the Column Definition code caused the slow cursor response to disappear, as did pushing the [Col Def] code off the bottom of the screen with [HRt] or [HPg] codes. |
