WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer is printing a document created with a fixed-pitch (monospaced) font (i.e., Courier 10cpi). The numbers do not display lined up in View Document. The numbers are separated by spaces, and they are aligned on the screen. The position indicator at the bottom of the screen (on the status line) indicates that the numbers should align. The document prints fine in the Line Printer font. Solutions: The document had Justification set to Full. When the Justification is set to Full, WordPerfect will use the hyphenation percentages to determine if a line will wrap, compress, or expand. The hyphenation percentages are set at 10% Left and 4% Right. Any lines that were positioning .1" past the margin were being compressed by WP to fit into the margins specified. To correct the problem, the customer can use Justification Left or Hyphenation 0% Left and Right. Doing this will cause the existing document to wrap the lines that were going to be compressed to wrap. An easier way to correct the dilemma is to decrease the margins; this allows more space for the text. Users can also work around the problem by changing the Word/Letter Spacing percentages (Shift-F8, 4, 6, 3). One customer used 95% of optimal to eliminate the problem.
