WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: To change the Top and Bottom Margins for the next page, insert the first page's margin code, then a Tab and a Margin Release, then the second page's margin code. This forced the margin to affect the second page. This was helpful for printing the first page on letterhead, and regular paper for the second page. But with the 08/20/90 release the codes need to go at the top of the second page. Solutions: The problem occurs when WordPerfect reads the second T/B Margin code. WP resets the page, assuming the placement of the second margin is the first. For example, the first margin sets the top margin at two inches. The second margin sets the margin at one inch. WP has already advanced the page two inches then it resets the page, saying the two inches is really one inch. Then it prints the rest of the page. As a result, the text is nine inches long, and the bottom margin looks like it is ignored. This can be seen in view. There will be a top margin of two inches and a zero bottom margin where there should be one inch. Development has acknowledged this problem, please watch the Software Change Notices.

To have WP automatically print page 1 of a document using a Letterhead-specific Paper Size/Type and Margin settings and then print subsequent pages using "normal" settings, an Open Style could be created consisting of following codes: [Paper Sz/Typ:,] [T/B Mar:,] [HRt] [Paper Sz/Typ:8.5" x 11",Standard] [T/B Mar:1",1"]. (Settings for codes after [HRt] are optional). The Hard Return between the codes guarantees that the first set of codes will take effect uniquely on page 1 and that the last set of codes will not take effect until page 2.
