Problem

Symptoms: The customer has a Header code and a Footer code followed by Newspaper columns. The Header Discontinue code follows the Column On code causing the footer to overprint the document text. Solutions: The footer is overprinting the text in the columns because the formatter reads the codes one at a time and allocates space accordingly. It sees the Header code and allows space for the header on the page, and then it sees the Footer code and adjusts the space for the amount of text in the footer. The rest of the space on the page is for the column code that the formatter reads next. So when the formatter encounters a Discontinue code immediately after it has finished allocating space for the previous codes, it gets confused. Because space was already allotted for the header and now needs to be taken away, the formatter does the best that it can. This results in the footer overprinting the text. A workaround is to insert the Header Discontinue code after the first word in the column or on the beginning of the next page.
