Line Draw - Attributed Text Moving Right Edge |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer has created a box using Line Draw. The customer is in the Typeover mode. If the customer selects the bold attribute and types information into the box, the right vertical line of the box is moved over. Should this happen if the customer is using Typeover instead of the Insert mode? Solutions: This is working as designed. Line Draw uses spaces to fill in areas as needed. In Insert mode, when text is typed into the box, the right edge of the text box is pushed further to the right as expected. In Typeover mode, the text simply overwrites the spaces that are already there. However, when dealing with attributed codes (or any codes for that matter) it doesn't matter whether you are in Typeover mode or Insert mode because you cannot type over a code. As soon as a code of any sort is used inside the line draw box, that code and everything to the right is pushed over as if the Typeover mode were no longer active. There are very good reasons for the program to work this way. Codes can contain a great deal of information. If the customer were able to indiscriminately overwrite codes, they could easily destroy a document in a single keystroke. |
