Problem

Symptoms: When importing spreadsheets as text, what is the exact rule used by WordPerfect to determine the widths of the tabbed columns? The manual indicates that the tabs are set according to the column widths set in the spreadsheet. However, from there it seems to allot a certain amount of space between columns. Solutions: When a spreadsheet is imported into WP as text, WP will calculate the column widths by using an average character width of the font being used. WordPerfect will take the column width from the spreadsheet and add two spaces. WP adds one space for any format symbols that need to be placed to the right of any numbers, and one space for a fudge factor.
