WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer was trying to set Absolute tabs in 5.1. She typed out a line of text just using spaces. Then she went back to the first character in each column and wrote down the position numbers. She went into the tab set feature, changed to absolute, and cleared the tab line of all default tabs. She then entered the numbers of each column's starting position (1.33",1.92",3.75",4.75",6.92") by typing in the number and then pressing "Enter." When she returned to the document and tried to delete the first space and insert a tab, it skipped the 1.33" stop and went to 1.92". The starting position was 1.25" before pressing the Tab key so it should have stopped at 1.33". She was able to make it work by going to each of the original column positions listed above, going into tab set, and typing an "L" where the cursor was. Ex: She went to position 1.33", went into tab set, typed an "L", and then exited out. Then she went to 1.92" in the document and did the same thing. When she finished, she had a different tab set code for every column position, the last one containing the stops for all of the columns. Since the last tab set code was then complete, she deleted all of the extra codes and moved the complete one to the top of the document. The tabs then worked properly.
