Tab Set Stops Not Recognized |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: A tab stop .02" away from the cursor is not recognized, but by-passed. In 5.0, a tab stop .01 inch away is recognized, therefore, user expects it to react the same way in 5.1. Solutions: This is working as designed for WP 5.1. In WP 5.0 you could tab to a position very close to your current position. This sometimes caused overprinting problems because the characters were so close. So, in WP 5.1, you can't tab to a position unless it is a least the width of a space away. For a fixed-pitch font, a space is equal one divided by the characters per inch. For example, the space in a Courier 10cpi font takes up .1". To determine how much room a space takes up with a proportional font, press the space bar and look at the position indicator at the bottom right of the screen to see how far the cursor has moved. |
