WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: When typing text within tabbed columns, the text appears to be fine in the last column but prints compressed. Solutions: The customer is using Justification Full, and text is exceeding the right margin. If Justification is set to Full, WordPerfect will use the hyphenation percentages (Shift-F8, 1, 2) to decide when a word should be wrapped to the next line. This percentage controls how many characters will be allowed to pass the right margin before the word is wrapped to the next line. If a word passes the right margin but does not exceed the hyphenation percentage, WP will compress the line to give a straight right margin. Since tabs do not move, a compression can look stronger the less space (or percentage) given WP. The solution is to either set Justification to Left (Shift-F8, 1, 3) or set the Hyphenation to 0% (Shift-F8, 1, 2). Then, a word that crosses the right margin will automatically be wrapped down to the next line and there will be no compression.
