Overstrike
For Line, SCS, and Global DJDE, determines how the OnDemand Cllient handles the Suppress Space carriage control character. The choices are:
- Separate Lines
- A line with a Suppress Space carriage control character is displayed on a separate line. For example, if the word TOTAL is underlined using the Suppress Space carriage control character on the next line in the document, then the word TOTAL is displayed on one line (without the underline characters) and the underline characters is displayed on the following line. This is the default overstrike mode.
- Merge Lines
- If two characters are in the same column position, an alphabetic character takes precedence over any other characters. For example, if the word TOTAL is underlined using the Suppress Space carriage control character on the next line in the document, then the word TOTAL is displayed without the underline characters.
- Overstrike Lines
- Enables true overstrike mode. If two characters are in the same
column position, then the second character is displayed on top of
the first. For example, if the word TOTAL is underlined using the
Suppress Space carriage control character on the next line in the
document, then the word TOTAL is displayed underlined. When you specify
Overstrike Lines:
- When selecting the text of a document, the OnDemand Client uses the Selection Mode named Area. (If the user attempts to use the Selection Mode named Text while the Overstrike Mode is Overstrike Lines, then the OnDemand Client uses Area anyway.)
- When copying text to the clipboard, only the first line is copied to the clipboard. For example, if the word TOTAL is underlined using the Suppress Space carriage control character on the next line in the document, then the line with the word TOTAL is copied to the clipboard (the line with the underline characters is not copied to the clipboard).
- When searching a document, the Find command does not match the result of the overstrike lines. To locate a text string using the Find command, the specified text string must exist in one physical line.
- The OnDemand Client ignores any column locking, header locking, and field arrangement that might be specified in a logical view.
When the user prints a document that they are viewing, the OnDemand Client prints the document using the overstrike mode that is currently in effect.
