WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: Tab and Indent are affecting the way word wrap works. For example, the customer had a document with a tab set at five inches. He later needed to go back and change the tab to a left indent (F4). When he did this, the lines of text wrapped differently. Solutions: The problem is when there is an indent code, the WordPerfect program temporarily redefines the margin. This affects the percentage calculation in the hyphenation zone and the point at which words wrap. Very often the user will see a difference of one or two words depending upon their length. Because a tab does not affect the margin, the word wrap is not affected. In addition, the user probably will see a one word difference with a tab, indent combination as opposed to a tab, tab. Tab and Indent are not meant to produce exactly the same results.
