WD: Character Format Functions Ignore Leading or Trailing Spaces |
Q106075
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c
- Microsoft Word for Windows 95, versions 7.0, 7.0a
- Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 6.0, 6.0.1, 6.0.1a
SYMPTOMS
WordBasic character formatting functions, such as Hidden(), Bold(), Italic(), and Underline(), ignore leading and trailing spaces when they evaluate a text string.
For example, if the text in a selection is formatted as hidden, but the spaces at the beginning or end of the selection are not formatted as hidden, the Hidden() function returns 1 to indicate that the entire selection is hidden, even though there are unhidden spaces at the beginning or end of the selection.
STATUS
This functionality is consistent with the functionality of other features in Word for Windows, such as the Format Font dialog box and Formatting toolbar. All these Word features disregard trailing and leading spaces when they evaluate a selection.
