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

Problem

Symptoms: Does the Widow/Orphan feature work in parallel columns in WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS? Solutions: Yes. This is the same for all WPCorp word processing products.

How/Why:
The customer had one word in column one and two, and then had column three filled up to the next to the last line on the page. The customer then pressed Ctrl-Enter and typed one word on the last line in column one and two. When the customer moved to column three and typed more text, WP left one line on the previous page, and the remainder of the text moved to the next page.

The program is working as designed. By definition, parallel columns "are grouped across the page in rows." This means that where column one starts, column three will start. Since column one had only one line of text and began on the last line of a page, column three would do the same.

Status:      Working as Designed
