FORMATTING COMMANDS
<FORMAT> lets you alter the values of the formatting parameters in a
format block, lets you create a new format block, and lets you copy
the values in an old format block to a new one.
After you press <FORMAT>, you will asked for which of the above three
operations you want to perform. Let's assume you want to change a for-
mat block, so type 'c'. You are then shown the current format block,
and asked if you want to change it (type 'y' if you do), or look at
the other format blocks.
The up and down cursor keys are used to navigate through the menu.
When you are finished changing the values, type <CTRL> D to return to
the file.
The last entry in a format block is the tab line. You can use it to
change, add, or delete regular tab stops and decimal tab stops. Press
'T' to add a tab stop, 'D' to add a decimal tab stop, <DELETE> to
delete the tab stop, or <BACKSPACE> to delete ALL of the tab stops.
Press 'L' to change the left margin, or 'R' to change the right
margin. Pressing <RETURN> or <CTRL> D will move the cursor off the tab
line and into the main menu.
<REFORMAT> will reformat the paragraph starting at the cursor
position.
<GLOBAL REFORM> allows you to reformat the entire document accoring to
each line's associated format block.
<CHANGE MARGINS> allows you to change the margins and tab stops from
the status line, as if you were on the tab line in the format block
menu (as mentioned above). The same commands as the format menu apply.
Press <RETURN> or <CTRL> D to exit. If you changed any of the margins,
you are asked if you want to reformat the entire document - this is
the same as pressing the <GLOBAL REFORM> key afterwards.
