Document Preface Causing Multiple-Page Print |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer wanted to print multiple pages. His document was divided into chapters with a new page numbering code at the beginning of each new chapter so that the chapters each started with page 1. He also had a page number style code for each chapter. The style was the chapter number, followed by a period, followed by a ctrl-B; for example, 3.^B would be the style code at the beginning of chapter 3. He wanted to print pages 2 through 7 from chapter 6. After selecting the option for multiple pages, he typed in 6:2-6:7. The pages that were printed were from chapter four. He then changed the order of the codes so that the page number style code was before the new page number code. Then he regenerated his document and this time it printed pages from chapter five. When he tried selecting pages 7:2-7:7, the right pages came out from chapter six. It turned out that there was another section of pages before chapter one with different page numbers, which was the preface of the document. The result was that the seventh section of text was his chapter six, so it appears that for this document, he will need to count the number of sections from the beginning of his document to find out what number he needs to put in when printing multiple pages. Solutions: The user has different page number styles in his document. The first one is a preface (i.e.: i.^B) with no new page number code before the page numbering style. (The ^B is arabic numbers, not roman number because that is the default). The second one is 1.^B (for the chapter one, then page number) with an arabic new page number code before it, the third one is 2.^B, etc. When he prints using the multiple pages feature, he types in 3:2-7 to print out chapter 3 and it prints pages 2-7 from chapter 2 instead of chapter 3. Because the user did not put in a new page number code of "i" in the preface, WP treats the preface as the first chapter and the first chapter as the 2nd chapter. Roman and Arabic page numbering are counted separately. If the user puts in [Pg Num:i][Pg Num Style:i.^B] in the preface section, and [Pg Num:1][Pg Num Style:1.^B] in chapter one, then he will not encounter the problem. Refer also to the WP 5.1 Manual under Print, Document on Disk - Section Numbers. Notice the example given in the manual. |
