WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: A customer was using the Tables feature, and when the customer tried joining the columns, a Tab code was inserted between the text of each column. It was impossible to tab the text over to correct the position without inserting a new tab setting. In othe words, there are three columns of text; columns 2 and 3 are joined into one cell. When the columns and rows are joined, a Tab code is inserted between the text in column 2 and column 3, so now there are two columns but in column 2 there are two sections of text. Solutions: This is working as designed. On page 711 of the WP 5.1 manual, the manual states that WP inserts a tab between text when two columns are joined, and the text will continue to be positioned the same way. This is done because "... should you split the cell, the text can be repositioned in its original cell." If the tab is bothersome it can be deleted and another one inserted.
