WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer is trying to block and move the first column of multiple tabular columns. All formatting codes between the last [HRt] code before the tabular columns and the beginning letter of the first tabular column are picked up and moved with the block. This causes the formatting codes to be lost or moved if the blocked column is deleted or moved. The steps to duplicate this situation are as follows:

1.      From a clear document screen, adjust the tab settings so that there are three tab stops. Then, add any other formatting codes desired such as fonts, margins, etc.
2.      Type information into each column so that there are at least three rows.
3.      Place the cursor on the first character of the first column and turn block on (F12 or Alt-F4).
4.      Move the cursor to the last character in the last row of the first column.
5.      Press Move (Ctrl-F4) and then 2 to move the tabular column.
6.      Press 1 for Move. Place the cursor at the end of the document and press Enter.
7.      Press Reveal Codes (F11 or Alt-F3). The formatting codes were moved with the block.

If the customer places a space at the left hand margin after the formatting codes and before the tab code, the formatting codes are not moved in the above process. Solutions: To work around this problem the customer needs to insert a [HRt] following the formatting codes and just prior to the first tabular column.
