Problem

Solutions: Hyphenation:
The hyphenation modules are built into WP 5.1. In Setup (Shift-F1), Environment (3), the user can set the External/Internal (6) and Prompt for Hyphenation (7) options. The external hyphenation uses the modules (like Automatic in WP 5.0) and internal uses spelling rules (like Manual in WP 5.0). The prompt for hyphenation has three options: Never (1), When Required (2), and Always (3). Once these options are set up, the user just sets hyphenation to Yes or No in Format (Shift-F8).

The only disadvantage to having the modules built into the program is that they take up disk space.

The Thesaurus, Speller, and Hyphenation files should all be in the same directory. If the user runs auto-install, this is done automatically.

Justification:
There are four types of justification: Left, Center, Right, Full. Left works just like having justification off in WP 5.0. Center is like being in a continual center (Shift-F6) mode line after line. This would be useful for poems or lyrics. Right is like a continual flush right (Alt-F6). Full works just like having justification on in WP 5.0. All justification types stay in effect until another is selected. Note: You cannot use Center, Flush Right, Tab or Tab Align while in Center justification.

Tab Set:
With WP 5.1, the user can now set Relative or Absolute tabs. Relative means relative to the margin. If the margin changes, the tabs shift to be the same distance from the margin as they were originally. The option to define the type is in Tab Set. When Relative tabs are set, the 0" mark will reflect where the margin is and the rest of the Tab Ruler will reflect measurements from that point (e.g., +1", +2"...). If you set a negative tab, the program will allow you to perform a true margin release into the left margin. An interesting note about Relative tabs is that they are relative to column margins also. If you set a tab at +1", there will be a 1" tab stop in each column. When Absolute tabs are set, it will look just like WP 5.0's Tab Ruler, where 0" is the left edge of the page.

There are some interesting new tidbits about the Tab Ruler. First, the Ctrl-Arrow keys will move tab stops across the Ruler. Second, the line automatically reformats so, for example, you don't have to delete an L to replace it with a D; the tab stop will be overwritten. Finally, the Up and Down Arrows move from tab stop to tab stop.
