Block Move - Rectangle Or Tabbed Columns |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer is trying to block and move using Rectangle. The document has tabbed columns. The customer blocks the second column, goes to the top of the text, inserts a hard page break, and then presses enter to restore the text. WP should push the page up and put the whole column on the new page. Instead, it puts only the first word on the page and pushes the rest onto the second page below the hard page break. It's like there's nowhere to put it-- as if the program doesn't realize there's a new page to put the rectangle of text onto. It works fine if you make the page break down below or after another page, but it just doesn't want to work BEFORE it. Solutions: This is working correctly. When WP moves a tabbed column or rectangle, we simply move it to the place where the cursor is when you press enter. The text is inserted at that point and below, and will mesh in with what's already there if necessary. To avoid this, the customer just needs to reserve enough blank space for the text by pressing enter 3 or 4 times. When blocking and moving regular text the hard returns go with the text, but in a rectangle there are no hard returns there. So, it's just dropped into your document beginning at the current cursor position. |
