Problem

Symptoms: When the customer is in Typeover mode, they cannot tab to a Math calculation column, and the "!" does not display. Also, the user cannot calculate anything while in the Typeover mode. Solutions: Development states, "While using the Math feature, pressing Tab inserts a Decimal Tab code [DecTab] in numeric or calculation columns and a Left Tab code [Tab] in text columns." The Reference manual (page 752) states, "A Tab moves the cursor through the text to the next tab stop or inserts a tab if none exists." If the user presses the Tab key while in Typeover mode, WordPerfect will not allow insertion of text (i.e., [!]). The program will only perform the keystroke of Tab as described in the Reference manual. To sum this up, if the user is in Typeover mode and enters the Math feature, pressing Tab will yield a Decimal Tab [Dec Tab]. If the user is not in Typeover mode, pressing Tab yields a [Dec Tab][!]. This feature is working as designed. If a correctly documented feature is generating a large number of calls, it should be addressed through the Hotlist.
