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

Problem

Symptoms: Changing spacing between text and lines in tables is causing the customer's machine to lock. The user has a table with a very thin column that is decimal-aligned. The spacing between text and lines is set to "0". When he tries to change it back to the default settings, (after entering information) the computer locks. Solutions: WP was setting margins for alignment and since the alignment width wouldn't fit inside the cell, it used the width of 1 cell instead. However, it didn't fit either, so the margin was being set outside of the cell margins. Since this could not function in this manner, the document could cause the system to lock. There is no damage to the table, since it could not be saved and function is this manner. Any setting that causes the table to try to display spacing within the table's cell that is physically impossible, will lock. This will be fixed in the release date after 08/20/90. Please watch for this change in the Software Change Notices.
