Graphics Boxes Spanning Multiple Columns - Se |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: A graphics box will not fill the entire page. When defining a graphics box while in columns, a user would like to have a graphic stretch across the entire page rather than just one column without having to set the size manually. Solutions: This is currently working as designed. If a user defines a graphics box to span the full margin width AFTER the Column On code, the graphics box will only span the width of the one column. It will span the width of the column that the cursor was in when the box was defined. If the user would like the box to span more than one column, the anchor type of the box will need to be changed to Page. Then the user will need to select Horizontal Position and choose Columns. At this point the user is asked for a column(s). If 1-2 is entered, then the graphics box will span those 2 columns. If 1-3 is entered, it would span 3 columns and etc. After entering the number of columns choose (4) Full and the box will now span the full width of the specified columns. One customer wanted to have at least three newspaper columns covering several pages and wanted to put two graphics boxes at the top of the first page; one box spanning two columns, the other box in the third column. If the following conditions are encountered, the code for the box spanning two columns has to come before the single-column box code or it will bump to the next page. Only when the codes are reversed will both boxes be on the same page. 1. Both boxes have an Anchor type of page. 2. Both boxes have Vertical Position of Top. 3. One of the boxes has Horizontal Position of Columns x, Full (x is a column #) 4. One of the boxes has Horizontal Position of Columns x-x, Full |
