How Characteristics Affect Text
Some characteristics affect lines and others affect pages. This chapter
describes what is affected and gives strategies for efficiently creating
titles with the characteristics you desire.
Concept
The term characteristics refers to all the ways titles can be modified — font,
colors, effects, scrolling, etc. Line and page position are defined using the
POSITION key (Chapter 10). All other characteristics are defined using menus
(Chapters 11-17).
How Characteristics Affect Lines and Pages
• Changes to Pattern, Background, and Effect menus always affect the entire
page.
• Border and background color changes also affect the entire page.
• All other changes affect the entire line. You can't mix colors, styles, etc. on a
line.
• If you have used the MARK keys to mark some text, changes to character-
istics will affect all lines that contain any of the marked text.
• If no text has been marked, then changes affect just the line or page that
contains the cursor.
Examples:
Margaret-Bourke White
Alfred Sti eglitz
Harold Edgerton
Jerry Uelsmann
Henri-Cartier Bresson
Text has been marked, so the font and color change is applied to all lines that contain
marked text. The line that contains the cursor is unchanged since it contains no marked
