WP Not Allowing Tabs Past Right Margin
DocumentID: 653742

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

Problem

Symptoms: The customer has set the margins to left 5 right 4 (4.2 units), the font to Courier 10cpi, the justification to left, the tabs to ABS;12,16,74,78, and Math to On. He types some text at the left margin, does a Shift-Indent, and types a line that wraps around to the next line. He then presses Tab twice (78 is a decimal tab and that column needs to be added). However, the cursor will not go past the tab stop at 74. It works fine in WordPerfect 5.0, but does not work with any release of 5.1. Solutions: This is not possible in WordPerfect 5.1. Tables and full justification design in 5.1 requires that a new temporary right margin be created when Shift-Indent is used. WP 5.1 will not allow a tab past the right margin, temporary or permanent. WP 5.0 did allow this, since no temporary right margin was created.
