How To Use The Ruler Line When Editing - Xerox 820-II Word Processing Applications And Reference Manual

HOW TO USE THE RULER LINE WHEN EDITING
The Ruler Line will always show the standard settings or the settings you used last.
Therefore, when you recall a document file, the Ruler Line may show settings that do
not match the text in the file. Since the settings may be different from one
document to the next, you should always check the settings on the Ruler Line before
you start typing or editing a document.
Your system provides a quick way to reset the Ruler Line when you recall a document
file that has different margins and tabs. The Format (Display) Menu has a settings
from a line command that will change the margins to match the line where the cursor
is. To use this command, you simply move the cursor to a line of typing that is the
proper line length and press CTRL & 4-
+
F. (Note: If there is an exclamation point
0) on the line, the system will also set a tab at that position.)
After you set new margins, you can quickly set a tab at a new position by moving the
cursor to the position and pressing CTRL & 4-
+
E
+
ESC. NOTE: When you use the
"ESC" command for setting or deleting tabs at the cursor column, be sure to use a
line of text that does not contain any codes.
