Go To Counts By Characters - May Not Return T |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: Using Go To (Ctrl-Home) twice to return to the same place in a document does not always return to the same place if I make any editing changes in the document. For example, type two paragraphs, both Indented (F4). Position cursor within 2nd paragraph and note the exact position of the cursor. Press Shift-F2, F4, and F2 to move to the previous paragraph. Then press Backspace, Go To, Go To. The cursor is now to the right of where it was originally. This might not seem like such a big deal, but when you have macros that depend on being in the correct position, then it can be disastrous. When this does work correctly should the cursor return to the same position, or is it suppose to return to the same text character? Solutions: This works the same as in WordPerfect 5.0. If text is inserted or deleted after the search and then Go To, Go To is pressed, WP will return to the previous location in the edit buffer; however, the cursor will not necessarily be at the same page location or on the same character. In simpler terms, the cursor position is not remembered but rather the distance (or number of characters) between point A (cursor position before the Search operation) and point B (cursor position after Search). When Go To, Go To is pressed, the cursor moves forward or backward the remembered distance (or number of characters). |
