1094.0. "READ isn't Right" by POWDML::JULIUS () Tue Jul 21 1992 21:58

    Could someone please solve the mystery:
    
    I'm in WPS and there is no problem with
    the following functions in one particular 
    document:
    
    	E dit
    	S end
    	P rint
    
    however, when I 
    	
    	R ead it, the top of the document is in
    	the middle someplace (~10 pages into it)
    
    It seems to me that READ in this case is 
    corrupted but I'm very curious, would anyone
    know what would cause this?
    
    Thank you.

1094.1What versions?IOSG::NEWLANDRichard Newland, IOSG, REO1-D/4ATue Jul 21 1992 22:5018
What version of ALL-IN-1 are you using?

By 'WPS' do you meam the WPS-PLUS editor?  If so, which version are you 
using?

What type of document are you having these problems with?


A possible reason is that you have a WPS-PLUS document which has the First 
Page/Last Page Print Settings set such that when you read the document only 
part of the document is displayed.  This normally results in only part of 
the document being printed, so I don't understand why this doesn't happen 
also.

    Thank you for your interest Richard, so nice to hear
    from across the Pond.
    
    >What version of ALL-IN-1 are you using?

    V2.4
    
    >By 'WPS' do you meam the WPS-PLUS editor?  
    
    WP Word and document processing

    >What type of document are you having these problems with?

    I would call it a multi-paged, wpslike document with a page control

    This is what's baffling.  I had at one point selected specific pages
    to print ...no problem; resetting back to normal, it then printed
    the entire document.  Creating again and Gold Get Docmt (getting the
    document in question) gives you the entire document also - 
    R ead in this new doc is right.
    
    It's very interesting to me what species of bug would affect my
    innocent R ;-).  This is one for Scotland Yard!
    
    Thanks again.
    Regards,
    Bernice 
1094.3More questionsIOSG::NEWLANDRichard Newland, IOSG, REO1-D/4AWed Jul 22 1992 22:1513
Could you do the following to get more information about the document:

1.  Display an index which includes the document with the problem.

2.  Move the pointer (>) to the index entry and press GOLD-V.

3.  Get the Data Type and Handling information from the information
    about the document and let me know what they are:

The Data Type will probably be 'WPSPLUS' and the Handling may be blank.

    The Data Type is WPSPLUS and the Handling is indeed blank.

1094.5Rather devious featureMDCRAB::HOWARDOur business is computers not moneySat Jul 25 1992 04:3816
    What can happen is that the from/to attributes are still there, and the
    reason they didn't show up when you printed was that you displayed the
    PA menu.  This would automatically set the attributes back to the
    default.  Unfortunately, they don't get written back to the document
    unless you actually format the document and have write access to it. 
    You won't have write access if it is an SENT/READ mail message. 
    Unfortunately, there's no way to look at it, since the menu keeps
    correcting the attribute.
    
    If this is the case, you can file the text and print the document,
    displaying the PA menu.  You could manually copy it back if you have
    privileges, but you would have to check the protection very carefully.
    
    I believe this is fixed in V4 of WPS-PLUS.

1094.6R linked to P in V2.4POWDML::JULIUSMon Jul 27 1992 15:5612

    >   What can happen is that the from/to attributes are still there, 
    
    Yes that's exactly what happened ... R was linked to P - FIRST/LAST=17
    I reset FIRST/LAST=1/0 then I "SS" which I hadn't done before.
    Voila R begins at p1!  Thank you very much Ben.
    
    Always something to learn in ALL-IN-1.
