Problem

Symptoms: A customer wants a detailed description of [DSRT]. What is it, what does it do, under what conditions does it appear? He wants detailed information about what causes [DSRT], not the conditions under which they appear. Why are they in the program, and is there a way to avoid them, delete them, or take them out of the program? Solutions: A [DSRT] is inserted into a document when the information the user is inputing violates the format that the user has defined. It is basically used as a flag to tell the user that whatever he has typed in does not fit in the format he has chosen. For example, if the user has defined columns then has typed in a word that is wider than the column, the program has to wrap part of the word to the next line. The program does not insert an [SRT] because it is designed to wrap at the end of a word not in the middle of it; therefore, it inserts a [DSRT]. The term "Deletable Soft Return" is misleading since you cannot really highlight it and delete it. In order to get rid of it, you must fix the problem that is causing it. For instance, in the example above, you would get rid of the [DSRT] by either making the column wider or choosing a different word that did not extend past the margins for the column.
