Problem
Solutions: How do relative tabs work in columns? Does the user have to set tabs separately for each column? Relative tabs work in columns the same way they would work on a regular form. If you have L/R margins of 1" and you're doing X number of columns and with a 1/2 inch tab in each column, you only have to set one tab at .5". That tab would then be used for every column "relative" to the left margin of each column. With absolute tabs you would have to set a tab for each column. Customers should use absolute tabs if they want a different tab setting for each column. One customer experienced a problem with this feature. Having misunderstood the purpose of relative tabs, they set a specific tab for each column; 4", 5", 6". Since the tabs were relative, when the Tab key was pressed, the cursor did not move. The user obtained the desired movement/tabs by changing the tabs to absolute. When converting 5.0 to 5.1 will the tabs convert to Absolute or Relative tabs? Absolute tabs. If tabs and pluses (+) are used while not in the Math function, will the pluses work as addition symbols after turning on Math? No. You must change the tabs in the Tab Set to decimal tabs so that those numbers that need to be calculated have the correct tab code before them, not just the regular tab code. Also, the pluses (+) will need to be re-entered while Math is turned on so that the pluses, in Reveal Codes, have brackets [+] around them. The brackets are needed around the + sign so that WP will recognize the column that the sign is in as a calculation column. |
