WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer has found that if two graphic boxes are defined on a page at about 8.7" down, the boxes are bumped to the next page and are not positioned correctly. The steps to duplicate this situation are as follows:

1.      Use hard returns [HRt] to position the cursor at approximately 8.7" down
2.      Create a figure box and load a graphic image (e.g., BALLOONS.WPG)
3.      Set the horizontal position to left and the size to 2.5" x 2.5" (leave the other settings at the default -- paragraph anchor, vertical position 0")
4.      Create another figure box with the same settings, but set the horizontal position to right
5.      View the document. The boxes are bumped to the next page and they are not positioned across from each other.
6.      If the hard returns are deleted so that the boxes will fit on the page where they are defined, they are positioned across from one another as expected.
7.      The problem can be corrected by placing a hard page break [HPg] just before the graphics box definition

Is this the way the paragraph anchor type is supposed to work? Solutions: This works as designed. It would take so much code to predict where the boxes should land relative to the horizontal positioning. Instead, WP calculates the vertical position until the box code is bumped to the next page or until a hard page [HPg] is added.

A workaround is to block the graphics codes and Block Protect them. (Shift- F8, Y)
