[HRt] And [HPg] Placed After [SRt] |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
The customer wants to use Full Justification in a document. If the customer edits the document by placing the cursor at the beginning of a line and pressing Enter, the hard return [HRt] code ends up on the end of the previous line and replaces the soft return [SRt] that was there. |
Answer:
This process is working as designed. You can try setting the Right Hyphenation Zone to 0% as a work around. To do that press Shft-F8, Line, Hyphenation Zone. |
Details:
To duplicate this problem: 1. Type about four lines of text 2. Turn on Reveal Codes 3. Place cursor on the first letter of the third line of text. 4. Press Enter and notice where the hard return [HRt] is placed. The same thing happens with the hard page [HPg] code. This is a problem because the line with the hard return [HRt] or hard page [HPg] code will not be full justified. The hard return [HRt] is not replacing the soft return [SRt]. Look closely and you will see that the soft return [SRt] is changed to a space and the hard return [HRt] is inserted; this is how it should work. At the end of the previous line (before editing) is really a space, but it is currently formatted and displayed as a [SRt]. The word which follows it would extend past the right margin if it were allowed to remain formatted as a space. However, when you insert a hard return [HRt] after a space (which is currently a soft return [SRt]), there is no longer any reason for the space to remain formatted as a [SRt], so it reverts to its natural state: a space. WordPerfect 5.0 had an unfortunate weakness in that it sometimes allowed a space to remain in its [SRt] form, even after the reason for it being a [SRt] was gone; WordPerfect 5.1 corrects this. |
