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

Problem

Symptoms: The user wants to set the window size of the Document 1 screen to 21 or 22 lines (Ctrl-F3, 1), but WP keeps changing the size to 23 lines. Solutions: This feature is working as designed. (Pages 862 and 863 of the WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS reference manual give some information on this feature.) When you display both the Document 1 and Document 2 windows, WP uses one line to display the tab ruler splitting the windows and one line in each document window for a status line. This immediately makes three lines unavailable for text. The smallest editing window available in WP is two lines high, so if the user has a 25-line screen and WP uses three lines for the tab ruler and status lines and two lines for Document 2 text, the largest window the user can select for Document 1 is 20 lines high. Selecting 23 lines will only display one document with lines 24 and 25 displaying the status line and tab ruler respectively.

Selecting a 28, 43, 50, etc. line screen display (Shift-F1, 2, 3) allows the user to view more text, but the same rules apply. Users aren't able to request a 24-line window in a 28-line display mode for example.

Status:      Working as Designed
