Link Lotus 1-2-3 Spreadsheet - Scrunches Last |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: When the customer uses a link to his Lotus 123 spreadsheet, the last two columns are scrunched together. This happens when the document is set to standard landscape or legal landscape. Both setups leave white space on the right edge of the paper with more than enough room for the columns to spread out. Solutions: This is working as designed. The problem is that when a spreadsheet is imported into WordPerfect, the tab stops are figured by taking an average character width from the current base font and adding two spaces: one space for a right and left tab stop which is needed for each column, and one space for a buffer factor. Because so much of the spreadsheet text is right aligned, a right tab stop is needed along with a regular tab. If there is not enough room before the right margin position for the column width, not just the text, the text will stack up on the right margin because of the right tab stops. The text will tab over as far as possible and print back to the left, then it tabs over again and prints back to the left again. This will be repeated for all the columns of information that would extend past the right margin. Because the tab stops are figured when the text is imported, changing the font after importing the spreadsheet would not help the situation. The font would have to be changed before importing the text. |
