- * (See MARKING) Press the PgDn Key

-
-
-
-
- Normally you will only be centering one line or part of one line.
- However, for ragged margins on both sides you may center entire
- paragraphs.
-
-
-
-

-
-
- Press the PgDn Key
-

-
-
- AltV with AltL Blocking
-
- AltV with AltL blocking is the most common type of centering.
- Move the cursor to the line below, and press AltL.
-
- CENTER THIS LINE
-
- Now press AltV. Notice that the information on the line will be
- centered between the LEFT and RIGHT margins specified on your TAB
- line.
-
-
-
-
- Press the PgDn Key
-
-
- CtrlV with CtrlB Blocking
-
- This is the next most common type of centering. Move the cursor to
- the right of the '>' below and press CtrlB. Move the cursor to the
- left of the '<' below and press CtrlB again. Now press CtrlV.
-
- > Center this block of data < (This data will not move)
-
- The 'L' and 'R' define the blocked area and may be moved as you wish.
- For now, just press enter. The text is centered in the blocked area.
-
- By redefining the location of L and R, you can center and move the
- the information as well. Try it.
-
-
-
-
- Press the PgDn Key
-
-
- AltV with CtrlB Blocking
-
-
- This centering option is seldom used. Move the cursor to the right of
- the '>' below and press CtrlB. Move the cursor to the left of the '<'
- below and press CtrlB again. Now press AltV.
-
- > Center this block of data < (This data will be included)
-
- As you can see, all the data on the line is first reformatted to fit
- inside the blocked area. Then each line of the reformatted
- information is centered within the block.
-
-
-
-
- Press the PgDn Key
-
-
- CtrlV with No Blocking, with AltL or with CtrlL
-
-
- CtrlV will operate identically with the blockings specified in the
- title, except that with AltL and CtrlL, a warning message will first
- be issued since the blocking will be cleared before doing the
- centering.
-
- CtrlV in each instance will reformat the entire paragraph in which the
- cursor is located, and then center each of the reformatted lines
- between the left and right margin indicators on the TAB line seen
- below. Place the cursor here (*) and press CtrlV.
-
- Notice that the cursor will be placed at the beginning of the next
- paragraph when the centering of the paragraph is completed.
-
-
- Press the PgDn Key
-
- Special NO Reformat Lines with Centering
-
- If you opted to press CtrlV with no blocking, (or AltL or CtrlL
- blocking), and the cursor was between the special NO Reformat lines as
- seen below, no action would take place. These lines are primarily
- used to protect an area from being reformatted if you use a Keystroke
- Macro to reformat your entire file.
-
- Place the cursor in this area
- and press CtrlV.
- Notice that nothing is changed.
-
- The other types of centering, however, will be honored inside the NO
- reformat area. These lines are obtained by pressing F8, then F7 and
- finally F3 or F4.
-
- Press F4 to Return to the HELP Menu
