Works 2.00: Hanging Indent Fails to Convert Using WPTOWP

2.00

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

A hanging indent that is formatted using the quick key CTRL+H does not convert to Microsoft Word format.

Direct formatting, applied by choosing Indents & Spacing from the Format menus and inserting a 0.5 inch left indent and a -0.5 inch first-line indent, does convert properly.

To obtain the speed of using the CTRL+H quick key along with a successful conversion, write a macro and as a playback key specify CTRL+H. To create the macro, use the following steps:


 * 1) Choose ALT+/ to bring up the macro menu and select Record Macro.
 * 2) In the Playback key field, choose CTRL+H. Specify a title for the macro (for example, Hanging Indent for Conversion) and press ENTER.
 * 3) Choose Format Indents & Spacing and insert 0.5 in the “Left indent:” field and a -0.5 in the “1st line indent:” field. Press ENTER.
 * 4) Choose ALT+/ to bring up the macro menu and select End Recording.

Each time the CTRL+H key combination is pressed, the macro will run and apply a hanging indent. The hanging indents will be successfully converted to Word format.

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