Hello,
We are having a problem with TabStops and word wrapping. This happens within a Page.Paragraph and a Table.Row.Cell.
The problem is that TabStops do not exhibit contestant behavior and unwanted behavior when a line overflows (or wraps) to the next line. Also content that is wider than the tabstops do not line up from one example to another. Some times the line wraps before it need to (space is sufficient to fit but it still wraps).
Referencing the example below here are some problems that happen within the page and within a cell. The Cell is there to show how much space is there and makes the rows easier to distinguish (IMO).
- Word Length 0, Row 8 is missing “[9]”
- Word Length 0, Row 9 is missing “[9]”
- Word Length 0, Row 10 has the control “$TAB”
- Word Length 1, Row 8 is missing “[S9]” and “[S10]”
- Word Length 10, Row 2 and Row 3 “[Supercalif2]” is not in the same horizontal position
- Word Length 10, Row 10 Text is written on top of one another.
The errors happen more than once in this example.

I know there is a lot going on here and tell me if it is easier for me to raise separate topics.
Thanks, DenisW
