Table Does Not Display Hidden Text When Editi |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: In any Table with a cell that is a full page long, when you try to add text at the bottom of the cell, it does not display. However, if you edit the cell, what you typed comes back. Similarly, if you have a wide cell and make it narrow, then the bottom text of the cell disappears. Another customer has a large multi-page table with single cells that are more than one page long. In one section, the customer added additional text, but some of the text "disappeared." When the additional text is deleted, the original text reappears. This also happens when merging information into a table. Solutions: The program is working correctly, it just isn't documented very well. When you get to the end of a cell, you can still enter text and it is contained in a buffer. WordPerfect saves the text, so that if you ever modify the cell (such as delete some of the original text or widen the cell), the additional text in the buffer can be inserted. This is a hidden text feature, but it's not really documented and can give unexpected results because people aren't aware of what's happening. The customer feels that there should be some type of message explaining why the text is "disappearing" on screen. Status: Enhance ***|enhance|*** Press Enter on link token. |
