Line Draw - Broken Lines Caused By Subscript |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: When the user is subscripting text within line draw, the line draw lines are broken. Solutions: Apparently when using subscript or superscript with line draw, if the pitch and point size of the line draw characters are not the same as the pitch and point size of the text, there will be either broken horizontal or vertical lines. This is because the printer is using absolute vertical motion. This is the way that line draw is and has always been. In this situation, when subscript is selected, a smaller font is being chosen for text than for line draw. Some work around options are to use a text box for the footnote or use advance codes to position the line draw characters. One user even found that adding several spaces between the superscripted character and the closing superscript code ([SUPRSCPT]#______[suprscpt]) eliminated the jagged line problem. The customer was using a 10cpi font, and since superscript was 60% of the base font, they entered six spaces between the codes. The following list are some questions to ask when troubleshooting Line Draw problems: 1. Are they using a non-proportionally spaced font? 2. Are they using Typeover when inserting text? 3. Are there hard returns after text which has been placed in a line draw box? 4. Are there any tabs being used? 5. Are there any headers or footers? 6. Are they using superscript or subscript? 7. Are there any font changes within the text? |
