The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: Redline will not allow a solid vertical line in the margin even if the user changes the redline character to be a compose character 7,14. Currently the user can get a short vertical line in the margin indicating redline. Solutions: By printing to screen, the user was able to determine that the character used for redline was accessed from the initial font. The character that should be used for a solid vertical line is 3,9. Since the character used comes from the base font, there are two rules that need to be followed:
1.      If you are using a PS (proportional) font, WordPerfect adds an additional 2 points leading, so your initial font should be 2 points larger than the font used in the document.
2.      If you are using a fixed pitch font, WP uses no additional leading, so you want your initial font to be the same font used in the document.
Both of these steps require you to use the base font function (Ctrl-F8, 4) to select your document's font.
