CHANGING THE PAGE NUMBER
Normally, the page numbers begin printing with the number one on the first page.
There may be times when you want to change this number. For example,
if
you typed
and saved a long document in 10 page sections, you'd want the second section to begin
printing with the number 11.
To change the page number, you use the .PN command followed by a space and the
number you want printed on the page.
For example, to begin page numbering with the number 11, you'd type .PN 11 at the
left margin and follow it with a RETURN.
In order to change the page number appearing at the top of the page to 11, you would
need to type the commands in this order:
.PN 11
.oP
.HE
II
ADDING TEXT TO THE PAGE NUMBERS (Headers
&.
Footings)
There may be times when you want to print text at the top or bottom of every page
in the file. For example, you may want to print the word "Page" in front of the page
number, or you may want to print the word "Draft" or "Preliminary" at the top of
every page. You can do this by using the .HE and .FO commands.
The 820-11 will allow you to put one full line of text in the .HE and .FO commands.
You have the option of including a page number in the text or leaving it out.
To
include a page number, you type a pound sign
(II)
at the location where you want the
page number. The text and the pound sign must be separated from the .HE and .FO
commands by at least one space.
The example below shows the command to center the word "Page" and the page
number at the bottom of each page.
.FO
Page /I
It may be manifested in a flat inexpressive voice, or an expressionless
face or a tense posture.
Even the most sensitive speakers are too
conscious of their faults and limitations.
They dweU too much on their negative points and fail to remember
their positive points. After aU, people with a technical background are, on
the whole, better informed about the material world than most of the
population.
It is important to remember that the .HE and .FO commands (plus the space after
them) take up four spaces on the line. When you position the text on the page, you
need to move it four spaces past the position where you want it printed.
