Using Courier Font And 1" Margins - Text Exte |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: When you use a Courier 10cpi font and have 1" Top/Bottom margins, why does the text extend only to line 9.83"? Solutions: When WordPerfect performs vertical formatting, text is aligned from the top of the text instead of the baseline. Text will not print inside the margins (of course), so the top of the first line of text will be at the top margin. If there are 1" Top/Bottom margins, this means that the top of the first line of text will start at 1". A 1" bottom margin means that text should go to 10" on an 11" page. The last line of text will be placed at 9.83". This is because the program is measuring from the top of the text, not the baseline. The font height of Courier 10cpi is .167". By subtracting .167" from 10" (and rounding to three significant digits) the program obtains 9.83". Different fonts will have different heights, and WP will calculate the line height accordingly. |
