Defining or editing a style. If you are defining or editing a style using the PStyleBegin command, PageMaker gets the paragraph options for that style rather than for the selected text.

Multiple settings. If multiple paragraphs are selected and they have different options applied to them, PageMaker returns -2 for the parameters that conflict.

Pointer tool active. If the pointer tool is active, PageMaker gets the default paragraph options.

Example. Change paragraph options using the PParaOptions command.

PGetParaOptions paraOpts;
if (paraOpts.nWidow == 0) {
    paraOpts.nWidow = 3; // change to 3 lines
    PParaOptions(paraOpts);
}
