Problem

Symptoms: Using rectangle block in parallel columns deletes text or locks WP. The user created a document in parallel columns, and wants to move Column One to another place in the document. One time, the user blocked the column, pressed Ctrl+F4, then chose Rectangle, and the computer locked. A second time the computer didn't lock, but all of the text in both columns was deleted. Also, the message "Press Enter To Retrieve" was not on the screen, nor was the Paste option available under the Edit pull-down menu. Solutions: The way WP reacts in this scenario will depend on the way the user blocks the column. In the first instance when WP locked, the Column Definition [Col Def] code was blocked as part of the rectangle (Development #: 49566). In the second instance when the "Press Enter To Retrieve" message was not on the screen, the user had blocked too far and had gone past the Hard Column [HCol] code at the end of the first column (Development #:49567).

To work around these issues, users need to block only the text of the column and not capture the [Col Def] or the [HCol] codes in the block.
