WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: When the user retrieves a DOS Text file using the option to convert the Carriage Returns/Line Feeds (CR/LF) to soft returns [SRt] within the hyphenation zone (Ctrl-F5, 1, 3), some of the lines in the document have hard returns at the end of the lines, instead of soft returns. Solutions: The lines that do not have the soft return character are those lines that fall outside of the hyphenation zone. For example, a word at the beginning of the next line (after the line with the hard return) is lengthy. The word is not hyphenated. Instead, the word wraps, leaving many spaces from the last word on the line to the right margin. To work around this, the customer can set the hyphenation zone to 30% (left) and 4% (default right) and then retrieve the document again. This increases the size of the hyphenation zone enough for the program to "see" the hard return in the offending line and convert it to a soft return.
