Style Codes Misplaced After Expanding Master |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: Style codes are being misplaced after expanding a master document. The customer has a master document with several subdocuments. He has a Paragraph Number Definition in the master document and Paragraph Number codes in the subdocuments. The Paragraph Number Definition uses a style, and the first five levels of that style are paired. The customer added the Paragraph Number codes to the subdocuments while the master document was expanded, so the Paragraph Number code also provided a pair of side-by-side Style On and Style Off codes. He then added text between the Style On/Off codes. Then he condensed the master document and saved the subdocuments. Next, he edited the subdocument alone and saved it again. When he retrieved the master document and expanded it, the Style Off codes were immediately in front of the next Paragraph Number/Style On code. His whole paragraph was between the Style On/Off codes instead of just the text he had placed between them at the time he created the Paragraph Number code. Solutions: The Style On/Off codes are dependent on the Paragraph Number codes, but the Paragraph Number Definition is in the master document, so when the document is condensed, the Paragraph Number codes cannot see the Paragraph Number definition. The codes don't know that they are using a style, so the On/Off codes are invalid, and all that remains is the Paragraph Number code. Now, when the master document is expanded again, the Paragraph Number codes can see the Paragraph Number Definition again, so the style is used again. WordPerfect puts the Style On code where the Paragraph Number is placed, but now the program doesn't know where to put the Style Off code. Since Paragraph Number/Outline styles cannot be nested, the style has to be turned off before another style can be turned on, so the Style Off code is placed right in front of the next Paragraph Number/Style On code. |
