Remarks
Adjusts the display of certain elements in the active document to mimic the display in other word-processing applications. For example, you can specify that spaces at the end of a line wrap to the next line as they do in WordPerfect. The arguments for the ToolsOptionsCompatibility statement correspond to the options on the Compatibility tab in the Options dialog box (Tools menu).
Argument | Explanation | |
.Product | The name of the product whose display you want to mimic, as listed in the Recommended Options For box. If you specify .Product, display options are determined automatically. | |
.Default | Makes the display options you specify the default for new documents based on the active template. | |
.NoTabHangIndent | If 1, a tab stop is not added automatically to a paragraph formatted with a hanging indent. | |
.NoSpaceRaiseLower | If 1, extra line spacing is not added for raised and lowered characters. | |
.PrintColBlack | If 1, colors are printed as black on printers that don't support color. | |
.WrapTrailSpaces | If 1, spaces at the end of lines wrap to the next line. | |
.NoColumnBalance | If 1, text columns are not balanced above continuous section breaks. | |
.ConvMailMergeEsc | If 1, correctly interprets characters preceded by backslashes (\) in Word version 2.x mail-merge data sources. For example, \" is interpreted as ". | |
.SuppressSpBfAfterPgBrk | If 1, space before or after hard page and column breaks is removed. | |
.SuppressTopSpacing | If 1, extra line spacing at the top of the page is removed. | |
.OrigWordTableRules | If 1, table borders are combined as in Word for the Macintosh version 5.x. | |
.TransparentMetafiles | If 1, the area behind metafile pictures is not blanked. | |
.ShowBreaksInFrames | If 1, Word displays manual, or "hard," page or column breaks in any frames that contain them. | |
.SwapBordersFacingPages | If 1, Word prints a left paragraph border (not a box) on the right on odd numbered pages if either the Different Odd And Even or Mirror Margins check box (Page Setup dialog box, File menu) is selected. | |
.SuppressTopSpacingMac5 | If 1, extra line spacing at the top of the page is handled as in Word for the Macintosh version 5.x. | |
Argument | Explanation | |
.SpacingInWholePoints | If 1, rounds character spacing measurements to the nearest whole number. | |
.PrintBodyTextBeforeHeader | If 1, the main text layer prints before the header/footer layer (the reverse of the default order). This allows Word to process PostScript codes in the main text layer the same as Word for the Macintosh version 5.x. | |
.NoLeading | If 1, displays lines of text without leading as in Word for the Macintosh version 5.x. | |
.NoSpaceForUL | If 1, no extra space for underlines is added. This argument is available only in Word version 7.0. | |
.MWSmallCaps | If 1, Word applies small caps formatting as in Word for the Macintosh version 5.x (which produces slightly larger small caps). | |
.NoExtraLineSpacing | If 1, line spacing is handled as in WordPerfect version 5.x. This argument is available only in Word version 7.0. | |
.TruncateFontHeight | If 1, font size is rounded up or down as in WordPerfect version 6.x for Windows. This argument is available only in Word version 7.0. | |
.SubFontBySize | If 1, fonts are substituted based on the font size in WordPerfect version 6.0 documents. This argument is available only in Word version 7.0. | |
Note
The arguments .LeaveBackslashAlone, .ExpandShiftReturn, .DontULTrailSpace, and .DontBalanceSbDbWidth affect only the Japanese version of Word and are otherwise ignored.
If you specify .Product and at least one other display option, the display option settings take precedence.
