Problem

Symptoms: Cursoring past a Line Spacing code causes the cursor to appear on the cells' lines, not in the cells of the table. The problem disappears if you remove the Line Spacing code or cursor past a different Line Spacing code in the table.

Text is printing on top of lines in another table. The customer has a table that has all lines deleted from it except the bottom line of the header row. The customer has only one row designated as the header row. If the header row consists of only one line of text, there is no problem. However, if it extends for more than a single line of text, then the line will view and print as though it were crossing out the last line of text in the header row on all pages except page one.

Another customer has a document that contains a table. The user can cursor down through the table, but when the cursor is moved back up, the lines of the table duplicate themselves, and/or the table lines disappear. Also, the cursor position is off.

Another customer is having problems with the text viewing and printing at the top of every cell.

Another customer had used character anchor graphics boxes in the first row of a table to rotate the column headings. When the customer copied the table onto the next page, the headings on the second page were shifted down into the cells below. Solutions: These problems were all caused by a line spacing code. The code could appear on the document screen or in Document Initial Codes. The programmers recognize the problem, but the fix will cause tables to format and print differently, so it may not be possible to implement this until the next version of WP. A workaround is to move the line spacing function to the end of the cell. Removing the code or setting it to one also may resolve the problem.

Another customer had placed a line spacing code in the middle of a row (cell B1) rather than at the beginning of the row (cell A1). After the customer placed the code at the beginning of the row, the problem was corrected.
