Problem
Solutions: When using the Tables feature and Decimal Aligning a column of numbers with parentheses around the numbers, WP wraps the right parenthesis down to the next line in any numbers that have two digits (or more) after the decimal point. In Tables, the default for the number of decimal places is two. WP looks at how many digits (characters) are after the decimal point, and because there are more than two (two digits and the right parenthesis), it wraps to the next line. Customers need to change the Number of Decimal Places in Table Edit, Format (Alt-F7, 2, 2, 4) to 3 (or the number of decimal places, plus 1) to allow for the right parenthesis, or any other numbers larger than two decimal places. Another way customers can use the Number of Decimal Places feature is to move numbers in a table so that they are not completely flush right in the cells. This can be done by adding one place to the Number of Decimal Places option in Table Edit. Note: You cannot change the number of digits in a row or in a specific cell. You can only change the number of digits in a column. Some specific examples from customers using this feature are as follows: 1. A customer created a table with a column that contained numbers with multiple decimals, e.g., 1.223, 0.644, etc. There was plenty of space in the column. When the customer set this column's justification to decimal align, the numbers shifted to the right of the column margin and wrapped down, and DSRt codes were inserted. For example, 1.223 would read like the following: 1.2 2 3 The customer corrected the problem by changing the Number of Decimal Places to 4 instead of 2. 2. When importing spreadsheets, WordPerfect places a space after each number. This is so numbers with parentheses line up with numbers that don't have parentheses. However, if a customer imports a spreadsheet into a table then changes the column's justification to decimal align, a deletable soft return [DSRt] appears after every period. Users can correct this by changing the Number of Decimal Places in the Table Edit menu. 3. If the number of digits is set to zero in a cell with a formula, the result of the calculation will be 0 or 1 if the actual value was a decimal number (e.g., .54). This can happen if a user is trying to calculate a percentage without multiplying the result by 100. WP will round to the number closest to the actual value (e.g., .54 will round to 1). This can be corrected by changing the Number of Decimal Places in Table Edit. 4. The number of digits following the decimal point in a formula did not change after a user edited the table to change this setting. Changes made to the number of digits will not show up in a number generated by a formula until the table is recalculated. If a formula is entered before the number of digits is set, the user must either recalculate the table (Alt-F7, 5, 1) or retype the formula and copy it as needed before the changes to the Number of decimal places will be updated. 5. If customers want to have math numbers round off, they must go into Math Define and set the Number of Digits to the Right to Zero. The same holds true in Table Math. |
