An important advantage to a word processor is that it allows you to change the
left, right, top, and bottom margins, tab stops, and other layout parameters on the
screen without having to retype. The word processor automatically adjusts the
text to fit the new width and page length.
Format Change Symbol
The word processor reserves the dead column of the text area (column 0) for the
format change symbol f . Each time you change the format, - that is, the left or
right margin, tab stops, justification, etc. - this symbol appears in the dead col­
umn at the beginning of the paragraph, and the word processor automatically
adjusts the text to fit the new setting. These new settings affect not only the cur­
rent paragraph, but also all subsequent text up to the next format change symbol.
The text above the symbol remains unchanged.

The left and right margins are set to columns 10 and 75 respectively each time
you start with a
*NEWFILE. Margins can be relocated at any time, before, during,
or after typing the text. Each time you move the left or right margin, a f symbol
appears in the dead column of the first line of the current paragraph. A I sym­
bol always follows the ,
k J , or ^ symbols. The new setting affects the
whole document from the current line up to the next f symbol. If there is some
text already input in the affected portion, it will automatically be readjusted to fit
between the new margins. The text above the f symbol remains untouched.
1. Move the cursor to the new position for the left or right margin while observ­
ing the scale. (See “Moving the Text Cursor” on page 29.) If the new position
is beyond the current margins, press ^^1 + IM RELl when the cursor is on
the margin to allow the cursor to move freely.
2. Press to set the new left margin, or [CODEI + [RMARl to set the
new right margin. The L or R symbol on the scale will move accordingly.
