Symptoms

In a WordPerfect document, lines wrap before the right margin, or new lines do not begin at the left margin.  This can make lines much shorter than expected.

Cause

This can be caused by an active Left Margin Adjust and/or Right Margin Adjust code.

Use Find and Replace to remove the problem codes:

  1. Click in the problem area of the file
  2. Click Edit, “Find and Replace”
  3. In the Edit window, click Match, Codes
  4. In the Codes window, highlight “Lft Mar Adj”, then click Insert & Close.
  5. Ensure the Replace with: field is empty and says <Nothing>
  6. Click Find Previous, then click Replace
  7. Click back into the problem area.
  8. In the Edit window, click Match, Codes
  9. In the Codes window, highlight “Rgt Mar Adj”, then click Insert & Close.
  10. Ensure the Replace with: field is empty and says <Nothing>
  11. Click Find Previous, then click Replace
