- AUTO-PAGING (See HELP file AUTO_PAG)
-
- When you press CtrlP, (or F1 in the menu shown above, you will see
- that a line looking like the one below will be inserted in your text
- at the location where each page break would occur in the text if you
- printed the file from inside PC-TYPE+. If any User-Page lines
- (described below) existed, the count for the page break position
- would start over at 0.
-
- Auto-Page lines are useful to see quickly where your page breaks will
- occur but should normally be removed before saving your file to disk.
-
-
- DELETE AUTO-PAGING
-
- CtrlD (or F10 on the menu above) will remove all the Auto-Page markers
- in your text.
- Press the PgDn Key
-
- USER-PAGING (See HELP file USER_PAG)
-
- If you press AltP (or F2 on the menu above), a line like the one shown
- below will appear in your text immediately below the cursor. When you
- print this file from within PC-TYPE+, a new page would begin at the
- word "print" on the line above.
-
- The +0 implies that the page number assigned to the new page should be
- incremented by one + "0". In other words, the page numbering will
- continue normally. If +1 was inside the line, then the next page
- would be incremented one more than normal, i.e., a page number would
- be skipped.
-
- If no + sign exists, e.g., 46 appears inside the line, then the next
- page will assume the number which appears. To modify this number, you
- must hold down the Alt key and press %. Try it. (First you must move
- the cursor to the User-Page Line.)
- Press the PgDn Key
-
- NO REFORMAT LINES
-
- If you press F3 and F4 in the menu shown at the top, the special lines
- below will be placed in your text below the cursor.
-
- Move the cursor the to the asterisk (*) and
- press the CtrlR key.
-
- As you can see, these special lines do not permit the
- AUTO-Reformatting commands, CtrlR, CtrlJ, and CtrlV. You may use the
- reformat commands which require blocking, but not the automatic ones.
- This is particularly useful if you define keystroke macros which use
- the AUTO-Reformat commands, but you want to make sure that you protect
- the exact positioning of certain text areas.
-
-
- Press the PgDn Key
-
- New Header and New Footer Definition Lines
-
- If you press F5 and F6 on the menu at the the top of the file you will
- get the special lines shown below. These special lines inform
- PC-TYPE+ that the Heading and/or Footing text should be changed at
- this point in the document to the information contained between the
- Begin and End Special Lines. (See HELP files HEADERS and FOOTERS).
-
- New Heading

-
- Press the PgDn Key

- Paragraph Marker (See the HELP file PARA_DEF)
-
- PC-TYPE+ normally assumes a new paragraph begins with the first text
- following a blank line and ends when a new blank line begins.
-
- If you do not want to separate your paragraphs with a blank line,
- use the Paragraph Marker Special line seen below, obtained by pressing
- F7 on the menu shown at the top of this file.
-
-
- These lines will not be printed when you print your file, but will be
- recognized by PC-TYPE+ as a blank line.

-
- .ftype Mail or PC-File or Keyboard
- .fspec TEST.HDR
- .field Vname
- .match Vname,"string"
- .force Vname,"string"
-
- This information informs PC-TYPE+ about the type of Mail Merge data to
- find, where it is to be found, etc. The information inside provides a
- template which you must modify to your needs. This information will
- not be printed.
-
- Press the PgDn Key
-

- If you press F9 on the menu shown at the top of this file, the Special
- Lines shown below will be inserted into your text. You may enter any
- text you wish between these Special Lines, normally reminders to

- you print the file.
