The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: Flush Right underscores in a table are not printing right aligned. The customer, typing in the cell of a table, types a word, presses Alt-F6 (Flush Right), and then types the underscore (_) character. When the document is printed, the underscores do not line up correctly. The customer is using the HP LaserJet III printer and a Universe 12pt font. Solutions: There are two factors to this problem. First, the document being created is using a fixed pitch space fill technique and a proportional font. Second, WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS is not able to calculate the widths of the scalable fonts on the HP LaserJet III correctly. This is because the largest unit WP can use is 1/3600th of an inch, and the printer uses 1/8782nd of an inch. The solution for now is to create the document using underline in conjunction with tabs or flush right.
Example: [UND][TAB]text[und] or [UND][Flsh Rgt]text[und].
