One of our users has a problem with line spacing on mail documents.

ie. He received a message forwarded from another user. When he reads
the message as an attachment, it appears to be ok, but when he does FA
to file the attachment it appears to be in a different format. ie,
there is a 1 line space between each line. This is also the case when
the document is printed. It is possible to print the document normally
by doing CD and changing the format type to WPS-PLUS no format, but this
causes the bolding to be lost. This seems to happen with this document only.


Maybe this is an ALL-IN-1 issue.


Any help appreciated.


Cheers.

2345.1Full formattingIOSG::NEWLANDRichard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2Tue Mar 02 1993 18:2026
The attachment may contain WPS-PLUS formatting information, such as double
spaced rulers, which is not processed when you read the message. 

For performance reasons when ALL-IN-1 reads messages and attachments it
does not indivdually format each attachment.  For WPS-PLUS messages this
means that the WPS-PLUS formatter is not used to format them and WPS-PLUS
formatting controls will not be processed. 

When a message is printed each attachment is individually formatted.
WPS-PLUS attachments will be formatted using the WPS-PLUS formatter.  If
you do a Print to TERMINAL of the message you should find that the
attachment is displayed double spaced. 
 
When you file an attachment you will be creating a document.  When ALL-IN-1
reads or prints a document it will fully format it.  For WPS-PLUS documents
the WPS-PLUS formatter will be used to perform the formatting.  When you
changed the handling to 'WPSPLUS NO FMT' you were saying that you don't
want the document formatted with the WPS-PLUS formatter and so formatting 
information such as double spaced rulers will be ignored.

If you edit the document created by the FA with the WPS-PLUS editor you 
should be able to see if it has any formatting controls which could result 
in double spacing.

That makes sense.

But when I edit the filed attachment and do a gold v to view, there are
no carriage returns, but a small circular mark at the end of each line.

Is this the cause ?

How does the document originator give it this layout. ?




2345.3What's the ruler?IOSG::NEWLANDRichard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2Wed Mar 03 1993 16:5212
The small circular mark is a word wrap symbol, which means the WPS-PLUS 
editor wrapped text at this point to the next line.  It is not the cause of 
your problem.

When you edit the filed attachment what is the current ruler?

I was able to reproduce the behaviour you reported by creating a WPS-PLUS 
attachment which has a double spaced ruler.

2345.4Circles are word-wrap marksIOSG::SHOVEDave Shove -- REO2-G/M6Wed Mar 03 1993 16:538
    The little circles at the ends of the lines are word-wrap marks - the
    originator produced the document by just typing, and letting 	
    WPS-PLUS wrap the text at the right margin.
    
    You need to look at the ruler in the document, to see if it specifies
    double-spaced lines (D instead of L as the left-margin character).

Yes, there was a D in the ruler.

Had I known anything about ALL-IN-1 I would have looked here first.


Thanks.
