Search And Replace Stops On Second Character
DocumentID: 606361

The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: When the customer searches and replaces anything (code or character) in both the DOS and Windows versions of WordPerfect, the cursor (insertion point) stops on the second character of a word. For example, if the customer uses Alt-F2 (Edit|Replace) to find and replace a Center code with nothing and the word this follows the Center code, WP deletes the [Center] and places the cursor at the letter h in "this." The customer could have problems using Search and Replace in a macro if the cursor had to be at a certain position. Solutions: This feature is working correctly. After WP replaces something, it places the cursor just to the right of the change. When WP replaces something with nothing, it still places the cursor one character beyond the change.
