Problem

Symptoms: The customer had Justification set to Full in his document. When he typed "April 20 - 22," the first line ended with "April 20 -", and the "22" wrapped to the next line without a soft return code. The space before the "22" wrapped to the next line along with the "22" so that the first character of the line was a space. Reveal Codes showed the hyphen in square brackets [-]. Why didn't WordPerfect insert a soft return code after the "-" so that the space before the "22" would not wrap to the next line? This phrase wraps properly with Justification set to Left. Solutions: This is working as designed. A hyphen with square brackets, as appears in Reveal Codes, is a valid end-of-line character if it reaches the right margin. WP's valid end-of-line characters are [HRt], [-], [SRt], [HPg] etc. The reason the next line started with a space in front of 22 is because that space was typed in after the hyphen. This works differently with left justification and full justification because of the different hyphenation zones. If the user wants the second line to start with "-" instead of a space, he can use a hard hyphen by pressing "Home -" (Home-Hyphen) as a work around.
