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

Problem

Symptoms: There is a DSRt (in WordPerfect for Windows 6.0, 6.0a and 5.2+, and WordPerfect for DOS 5.1 and 5.1+) or a TSRt (in WordPerfect for Windows 6.1, and WordPerfect for DOS 6.0c and 6.1) at the end of a line and it cannot be deleted. Solutions: When typing in any version of WordPerfect, if you type to the end of a line of text and continue to type, the text wraps around to the next line. Under common circumstances, the code placed at the end of the line of text, where it wraps, is SRt, which is a Soft Return code. This simply means that text wraps here to the next line.

Common typing circumstances is typing words with spaces between them, and WordPerfect wraps text where a space is placed between words. The space lets WordPerfect know that a break has occurred in the text.

Under uncommon typing circumstance, text has been typed that has no spaces or breaks, and the text is too long to place on one line. The text needs to wrap--but there is no space letting WordPerfect know where to make the break to wrap to the next line. When this occurs, a DSRt or a TSRt code is placed at the end of the line, where WordPerfect is forced to make a choice to break a continuous line. DSRt means "Deletable Soft Return" and TSRt mean "Temporary Soft Return". Both terms are ways of stating that when a break or space is entered in the text, WordPerfect will remove, or delete, these codes with an SRt code that will show where a proper line wrap could be performed. Hence, the DSRt/TSRt codes are deleted, or temporary. Causes: A long line of text or characters that has no word break and is too long to fit on one line of text will cause this problem.
