The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The screen does not rewrite properly when Merging in a Table. When the customer inputs information during the merge, the screen does not rewrite the screen as information is inserted. When the customer presses F9 to end the input, WP reformats the cell so that it does appear properly. During the input stage it can be disturbing to the user if the screen does not rewrite automatically. Solutions: WP is performing very minimal screen rewriting during a Merge within a Table. WP can add a code to rewrite the screen as it is merging in a Table. However, the code that is added would slow the process down. It is a trade off- speed or rewrite. Since speed is so important, adding the code is not practical. WP is formatting the document correctly once the user has input the information. The user will need to have confidence that WP is correctly inserting the information typed during the merge and is trading off a simple convenience for speed.
