Page Glossary Entry Misaligns Cursor Line-Draw Box

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

The Page glossary entry inserted in a box drawn with the cursor linedraw feature (CTRL+F5) in Word versions 4.00 and 5.00 will cause the right side of the box to be misaligned. For example, the box with the Page glossary entry will appear on the screen as follows:

+—————————-+ | (page) | | | +—————————-+

However, it will print as follows:

+—————————-+ | 1 | | | +—————————-+

= MORE INFORMATION =

Word prints in this manner because the Page glossary entry contains six characters but is replaced with the page number when it is printed. Consequently, the box is not adjusted. Inserting spaces to the right of the Page glossary entry (for example, five spaces for a one-digit number, four spaces for a two-digit number) or using tabs to align the right edge of the box will resolve the problem.
