Formatting the Page
An important advantage to a word processor is that it allows you to change the left,
right, top, and bottom margins, tabs, 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 £ . Each time you change the format, - that is, the left or right
margin, tabs, justification, etc. - this symbol appears in the dead column 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 current paragraph, but also
all subsequent text up to the next format change symbol. The text above the symbol
remains unchanged.
Left and Right Margim
The
left and right margins are set to columns
10
and
7S
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 £ symbol appears in
the dead column of the first line of the current paragraph. A £ symbol always
follows the , ifi , or ^ symbols. The new setting affects the whole document
from the current line up to the next £ 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 £ symbol remains untouched.
