WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: If the user sets a right aligned dot leader tab at position 5", when Tab is pressed the proper right aligned dot leader tab is inserted. After the dot leader tab is inserted, the user types John##555-1212 for a telephone directory entry. Then, if the user performs a search and replace to change the pound signs to the right aligned dot leader tab, the right aligned tab is insert but without the dot leader. The user searched for the ## characters and replaced the characters with Ctrl-F6 (Tab Align). If the user searches for the ## characters and replaces them with a tab, the phone numbers become left aligned at the tab setting, even though the setting is defined as right aligned tab with dot leaders. The only way the user has found to do the search and replace and obtain dot leaders to the tab position is to search for the ## characters, press Backspace, and then press Tab to replace the alignment.

Another customer found that dot leaders were not displaying correctly when performing a search and replace. The customer wanted to replace any occurrence of $% with dot leaders using Alt-F6 twice. The customer used the keystrokes Alt-F2, N, $%, F2, Alt-F6, Alt-F6, F2. WordPerfect pushes any text existing to the right of $% against the right margin, and the dot leaders do not display at all. Solutions: WPCorp is aware of the problem and is currently working on trying to find a solution. However, because a structure change in the program would be needed, it may not be possible to implement this until the next version of WP.
