WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The Search feature ignores Block Protect On/Off and Column On/Off codes. This problem is most evident in parallel columns but is not limited to parallel columns. If you search for [HRt][HPg], WP also finds [HRt][Block Pro:On][Column:On][HPg]. Sometimes Search finds strings in the wrong order. If you search for [Block Pro][HRt][Col On], WP finds [HRt][Block Pro:On][Col On]. Solutions: To work around this problem the customer may be able to write a macro and use the {SYSTEM}right~ command. For example if the customer wants to search for [HRt][HPg], the macro could search for a [HRt] and use the {SYSTEM}right~ command to see if the next character is equal to a [HPg]. If it is, the macro will do the appropriate action; otherwise it will search again (or do whatever the customer wants it to do).
