MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

A division mark can disappear if it is formatted as a continuous division, has a left margin, and immediately precedes a second continuous division that has a right margin greater than the page width minus the left margin of the first division.

For Word version 5.00, the following demonstrates this problem:


 * 1) With Show Layout turned on, enter a paragraph. Set the Format Division Layout “division break:” field to Continuous.
 * 2) Enter another division mark (CTRL+ENTER) below the first one.
 * 3) Select the first division mark and format it for a left margin of 4.5 inches.
 * 4) Format the second division mark for a right margin of 4.5 inches.

For Word version 5.50, the following demonstrates the problem:


 * 1) With View Layout (ALT, V, L) turned on, set the Format Section (ALT, T, S) “Section Start:” list box to continuous.
 * 2) From the Insert menu, choose Break (ALT, I, B) and enter another section mark below the first one by selecting Section (ALT+S).
 * 3) Select the first section mark and format it for a left margin of 4.5 inches.
 * 4) Format the second division mark for a right margin of 4.5 inches.

Notice that under these circumstances, the first division mark will disappear.

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
