Problem

Symptoms: A customer had a document containing line draw, and the line draw characters didn't line up when printed. The customer was using an HP DeskJet printer. Solutions: The customer's file had margin settings at .25" left and right. WordPerfect allowed these because they came before the landscape paper size and type code. If these commands had followed the paper size code, the program would have defaulted to .5" left. WP was formatting the margins based on the .25" left margin. When this information was transferred to View Document, the document was scanned, and the margins were adjusted to match the printer's minimum margins. This is also what happened when the document was printed. The regular document screen is not able to scan ahead to adjust the text properly. Since the customer was using Absolute Tab positions, his tabbed line draw characters were fixed to a certain position, where all other non- tabbed line draw were being shifted to meet the new margin. The solution was to move the margin codes after the paper size and type code, and then change the Absolute Tab positions to adjust for the new margin setting.
