Table Measurements Rounded Unless In WP Units |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: A customer created several tables one after another and wanted the column lines in the tables to align. A few of the column lines are slightly off. The customer noticed that WP accepted a column width of .999" but rounded a column width of 1.999" to 2". The customer believes the error is occurring because of rounding. Also, if you set the row height in a table to Fixed and type more than three digits beyond the decimal, WP rounds up the number it displays for the row height. Does WP calculate the row height by the rounded number also? Solutions: All WP units of measure are kept internally as WPUs which are accurate to 1/1200 of an inch (.000833333333). WP uses 1200 WPUs per inch so that the most common print pixels can be accommodated exactly: 300 dpi, 400 dpi, and 600 dpi. Thus, WP is slightly more accurate than .001. If the customer wants exact measurements, perhaps he or she should consider displaying the units in WPUs. |
