WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The graphics box is overprinting the footer. The customer sets up a footer and suppresses it for the current page. He then defines a graphics box that will skip one page and print at the bottom of the second page. This results in the graphic overprinting the footer. Solutions: This is working as designed. Anytime a page anchored graphic is bumped to another page, WordPerfect uses the settings for the page the code is on to determine where it will place the box and how large the box will be, etc. In this case, the footer has been suppressed for the page the graphic code is on, so WP calculates the position of the box as if there was no footer. The customer needs to move the code for the box to the top of the second page. WP will then take the footer into account when positioning the graphic. If WP tried to calculate positions relative to the page the graphic was bumping to, the program would be too slow. In addition, any feature that changes page formatting (e.g., footers, headers, margin changes, page numbering, footnotes, etc.) that is started on a page after the page that contains a code for a graphics box that is bumping will cause the box to overprint or be mis-positioned.

One customer was able to work around this problem by including two extra Hard Returns in the caption. This moved the graphics box up so it would not overprint.
