FOOTER LINES
┌─────────────────────────┬──── If you consider your printed
│ Header │ sheet to be broken into 3 areas
│ Lines │ │ as shown to the left, all of
├─────────────────────────┤ │ the discussions relative to
│ │ │ Vertical Print Page Format will
│ │ │ │ make more sense.
│ (BODY) │ │ │
│ │ │ Lines You can define the Lines per
│ Text Lines │ │ per Page, the number of Header Lines
│ │ │ Page and the number of Footer Lines.
│ │ │ │ The number of Text Lines in the
│ │ │ │ BODY are calculated and must be
│ │ │ greater than 0. You are allowed
├─────────────────────────┤ │ a maximum of 15 lines in both the
│ Footer │ │ Header area and the Footer area.

└─────────────────────────┴──── Press the PgDn Key
DEFAULT FOOTER LINES
Once you define the number of lines in the footer area, you may enter
information in a default "footer file" saved in the defaults area of
PC-TYPE+ or in a defaults file. When you print a file inside
PC-TYPE+, the number of header and footer lines will always be printed
at the top and bottom of each printed page, but the contents of the
Header and Footer "files" may or may not be printed based upon your
setting of a parameter in the Print Options Panel.
Look toward the bottom of the Print Options Panel for the field
labelled "Headers/Footers:". If this is turned ON, the contents of
the Header and Footer "files" will be printed in the Header and Footer
area on each page. If it is turned OFF, then blank lines will be
printed instead. Press Shift F3 and look for this field.
Press the PgDn Key
SETTING THE DEFAULT FOOTER LINES
When you go to the MODIFY DEFAULTS panel by pressing F8 and then F2,
you will see a field labelled "Vertical Print Page Format". If you
tab to this field and press F10, you will see that you will enter a
sub-panel in which you can define the number of lines per page, and
the number of lines in the header and footer areas of each page.
If you CHANGE the number of FOOTER lines and then press F10 to accept
the change, you will not return immediately to the MODIFY DEFAULTS
panel, but will be placed in a new file called "FOOTERS".
Once inside this file you may type any information you desire to be
printed at the bottom of each page. If you type a "%" character, the
current page number will be printed at that location when your file is
being printed and the Headers/Footers option is turned on. Try this
procedure.
Press the PgDn Key
EDITING THE FOOTER DATA
When you enter the FOOTERS file in the manner described above, you
CANNOT get out until you "SAVE" the FOOTERS file by pressing F9. You
also will not be allowed to "SAVE" the file until you have EXACTLY the
number of lines in the file which you specified in the Vertical Print
Page Format panel.
You may also edit the FOOTER data without changing the defined number
of FOOTER lines in the Vertical Print Page Format panel. To do this,
go to the MODIFY DEFAULTS panel (F8 then F2) and TAB to the field
labelled "Default Footer Definition". Once you move the Option
Selection Bar to this field, press F10, and you will again be inside
the "FOOTER" file. In this entry mode, however, you will be allowed
to QUIT with F4.
Nearly all options normally available in PC-TYPE+ are available when
editing the FOOTER file.
Press the PgDn Key
CHANGING THE FOOTER TEXT WHILE PRINTING
It is quite likely that you may not want the same default FOOTER text
material to be printed on every page of your document. You may
dynamically modify the FOOTER data by including the two Special Lines
shown below IN YOUR TEXT. To get these Special Lines, Press F8, (the
Miscellaneous Functions key), then press F7 (Special Lines), and then
press F6 (New Footer Defn.) - and the two lines below will be inserted
into your text.
By adding information between these lines, you will override the
default FOOTER data. Delete the two lines below and then press
F8/F7/F6 and see how to bring them into your text.
Press the PgDn Key
CHANGING THE FOOTER TEXT WHILE PRINTING (cont.)
This new Footer definition will become effective the next time a
Footer is printed.
If you enter more footer lines than were defined in the Vertical Print
Page Format, the extra lines will be dropped from the end of your new
definition and the entire Default Footer definition will be
overwritten.
If you enter fewer Footer lines than were defined in the Vertical
Print Page Format, the new Footer lines will replace the same number
of Footer lines at the beginning of the Default Footer "file".
If you press Ctrl? to see where you are currently in the text, the
Begin and End Footer Def. lines and all the lines in between WILL NOT
be included in the page and line determination.
