The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: Customers may experience one of the following after tabbing to a tab stop close to the right margin and typing text in a document with full justification turned on if the text does not wrap to the next line:
1.      The characters overprint each other
2.      The text is in reverse order (e.g., 1.5 displays as 5.1)
3.      The characters are too close together Solutions: This is working as designed. In order to understand this the customer needs to think about what he or she is asking WP to do. The tab is a fixed position and is close to the right margin. Since full justification is turned on, the text is actually allowed past the right margin due to the hyphenation zone. If the customer types enough text to go past the right margin but not enough to pass through the hyphenation zone, WP compresses the text between the tabbed position and the right margin when the document prints or when the customer looks in View Document. Similarly, if the customer types text after a tab and part of the text wraps to the next line, WP may expand the word(s) between the tab stop and the right margin to justify the line. A tab setting cannot be altered through expansion or compression to fully justify a line like a space can.
