Problem

Symptoms: The user receives the error message "Document Line Too Complex to Print" when trying to print or view a certain page of an 80 page document. The printer prints the first several pages fine but always stops on a particular page, and this error message appears in Printer Control. The same message appears when the customer tries to print any subsequent page or go into View Document. Solutions: The error message was caused by one code in one of the headers in the document. It was an unformatted Date code. In Reveal Codes it looked like [DATE :]. WordPerfect was not able to interpret the code, so the result was the error message. Removing this code solved the problem. The ability to enter an empty date code was eliminated with the 12/31/90 release of WP. A customer temporarily worked around this problem by deleting the Date code and manually typing the date on each of the pages with the problem. The "Document Line Too Complex To Print" error can also be caused by having too many font codes, embedded printer commands, Advance codes or other printer codes (see Appendix E in the WP51 manual). One user received the error after inserting two line spacing codes side by side (e.g., [Ln Spacing:0.95][Ln Spacing:0.92]), and another user received the error when a superscript code appeared around every letter in a word in a paragraph. A third user received this error because all of the text in the complex document was on one line; the user had positioned it with Advance and Font codes. One user corrected this error by removing the five lines at the bottom of the document that contained only s's. Another user got the error messages "Text Too Complex To Print" or "Line Too Complex To Print" while trying to view a certain document. When the customer removed a Widow/Orphan code at the beginning of the file, the error disappeared. Status: Sent to Development ***|sent to dev|*** Press Enter on link token.
