WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: Absolute Tab Positions. The user set absolute tabs at .683, 4.55, 6, 7.26, 8.03, 8.68. He tabbed over to 4.55" and typed some text. He tabbed to the next position and it seemed to skip an entire tab stop. Solutions: WP 5.1 makes sure that the movement by the tab is at least 1 space width. The space width for the 12pt font is 67/1200ths, 10pt is 56/1200ths. For the 12pt font 1.45" (1740/1200ths) = 67 is 1807, or 7/1200ths past 1.5" tab stop. So WP selects the 2" tab stop. The 10pt font works out to 1796, 1200ths or the 1.5" tab stop.
