Works 1.05:Paragraph Hanging Indent Won’t Apply

PSS ID Number: Q51220 Article last modified on 06-18-1996

1.00 1.05

MS-DOS

Summary:

In Works Versions 1.00 and 1.05, a paragraph formatted for a hanging indent using the “1st Line Indent:” field of the Format Paragraph menu will not reflect this setting if the paragraph is immediately preceded by a manual page break.

For example, if you have formatted a paragraph for a left indent of 1 inch with a first line indent of -1 inch to create a hanging indent, and if the paragraph immediately follows a manual page break, the first line will remain indented with the rest of the lines in the paragraph. If a blank line is inserted between the page break and the indented paragraph, the first line indent will now take effect, and the first line will indent to the left the amount of the first line indent (1 inch in our example).

More Information:

This problem occurs because Works treats the manual page break character (CTRL+ENTER) as part of the following paragraph.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Works Versions 1.00 and 1.05. This problem was corrected in Version 2.00.
