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

Problem

Symptoms: In WordPerfect 5.0, the user allowed the text to automatically wrap thus leaving soft returns. The top and bottom margins were set at 0" and 0" (.2 and .3 default). After the last soft return, the user went to a new line and inserted an indent, and it printed fine. When he converted this same file to 5.1, the margins automatically changed to (.22 and 3.1), thus bringing less text on the line. This brings the indent code on the same line as the last soft return. This will also occur if you do the following: Insert an indent after a soft return, type text and then change the margins. Is there a way to keep the indent code on a line by itself, without putting a hard return on the previous line? Solutions: This feature is working as designed. The indent is treated like regular text, and when the line above (ending with the soft return "SRt") is lengthened or shortened, either by a margin change or adding or deleting text, the [SRt] is deleted and the indent is brought up to the line above. You cannot keep the indent at the first of the line and make changes to the text unless there is a hard return on the line above. If a correctly documented feature is generating a large number of customer calls, it can (and should be) addressed through the common call list.
