- FORMATTING COMMANDS
-
- <FORMAT> (the ALT F key) lets you alter the values of the formatting
- parameters in a format block, lets you create a new format block, and
- lets you copy the values in an old format block to a new one.
-
- After you press <FORMAT>, you will asked for which of the above three
- operations you want to perform. Let's assume you want to change a for-
- mat block, so type 'c'. You are then shown the current format block,
- and asked if you want to change it (type 'y' if you do), or look at
- the other format blocks.
-
- The up and down cursor keys are used to navigate through the menu.
- When you are finished changing the values, type <CTRL> D to return to
- the file.
-
- The last entry in a format block is the tab line. You can use it to
- change, add, or delete regular tab stops and decimal tab stops. Press
- 'T' to add a tab stop, 'D' to add a decimal tab stop, <DELETE> to
- delete the tab stop, or <BACKSPACE> to delete ALL of the tab stops.
- Press 'L' to change the left margin, or 'R' to change the right
- margin. Pressing <RETURN> or <CTRL> D will move the cursor off the tab
- line and into the main menu.
-
- <REFORMAT> (the ALT K key) will reformat the paragraph starting at the
- cursor position.
-
- <GLOBAL REFORM> (the ALT F3 key) allows you to reformat the entire
- document accoring to each line's associated format block.
-
- <CHANGE MARGINS> (the ALT Y key) allows you to change the margins and
- tab stops from the status line, as if you were on the tab line in the
- format block menu (as mentioned above). The same commands as the for-
- mat menu apply. Press <RETURN> or <CTRL> D to exit. If you changed any
- of the margins, you are asked if you want to reformat the entire docu-
- ment this is the same as pressing the <GLOBAL REFORM> key afterwards.
