Problem

Symptoms: The customer is using the Replace feature with Confirm to search for hard return [HRt] codes and replace them with spaces. When WP comes to a Left/Right Margin [L/R Mar:] code and the user presses "Y" to confirm the replacement, the program sticks there and inserts spaces in front of the [HRt] code on the previous line. The customer is continually asked to confirm, and the search doesn't continue until the user presses "N." If Confirm is set to "No", the [HRt] on the line with the Left/Right Margin code is replaced with a space. The same problem exists in WordPerfect 5.0. Solutions: The program is working correctly. Since the Left/Right margins codes have to be at the beginning of a line, WP continues inserting new [HRt]s after the old [HRt]s are replaced with spaces. Then, WP is again needing to replace an [HRt], so it inserts another space. This action will continue until there are enough spaces to soft wrap the line. Then, the [HRt] will not come back and need to be replaced again. Status: Sent to Development ***|sent to dev|*** Press Enter on link token.
