- AltJ with AltL Blocking (Line Justification)
-
- AltJ with AltL blocking permits you to define exactly which lines you
- want to justify. The marked area is first reformatted, and then each
- line is justified. If the last line is too short, it will not be
- justified unless the last line is the only line.
-
- Move the cursor to the top line of the paragraph above and press AltL.
- Then move the cursor to the bottom line of the paragraph above and
- press AltL again. Now press AltJ.
-
- Notice that the paragraph is blocked to the margin extremes.
-
- When you justify in this manner, the justification will ignore the
- INDENT character on the TAB line if you specified one.
-
-
-
- Press the PgDn Key
-
- CtrlJ with CtrlB Blocking (Column Justification)
-
- Move the cursor to the M Now press the Enter key and
- at the beginning of this sentence you will see that the column
- and press CtrlB. Now move of information is justified
- the cursor just above the "^" without changing the location
- character and press CtrlB again, of any text in this paragraph.
- and then press CtrlJ.
- (^)
- The 'L' and 'R' define the extents of the blocked area and may be
- moved as you wish to make the column of text wider or narrower. Do it
- again, but this time move the R two characters to the left before
- pressing the Enter key. This feature is also very useful on a single
- column of information for you can easily relocate it and justify it at
- the same time.
-
- NOTE: You must include ALL the text to be justified WITHIN the blocked
- area.
- Press the PgDn Key
-
-
- AltJ with CtrlB Blocking (New Margins)
-
- This justifying technique is extremely useful. It allows you to
- redefine the margins for a block of text without having to change the
- TAB and Margin definitions, justify, and then go back and reset the
- margins again. Move the cursor to the character "j" on the first line
- of this paragraph above the leftmost "^" character and press CtrlB.
- Now move the cursor to the character "e" on the last line of this
- paragraph above the rightmost "^" character and press CtrlB again.
- Now press AltJ. Notice that the paragraph has been rejustified
- according to where it was blocked without changing the TAB line.
- (^) (^)
- Notice that since the margins were shortened, additional lines were
- added to the text.
-
- Press the PgDn Key
-
-
-
- CtrlJ with No Blocking (Paragraph Justification)
-
- CtrlJ will justify the entire paragraph containing the cursor without
- any marking. If an area in the file is marked with AltL or CtrlL, the
- markings will be ignored, (although a warning message will be issued
- since the blocking will be cleared before doing the justifying).
-
- CtrlJ will honor any INDENT specification you may have made on the TAB
- line. It will also reposition the cursor at the beginning of the next
- paragraph when justification has been completed. Place the cursor
- here (*) and press CtrlJ.
-
- (The cursor should be moved to this line.)
-
-
-
- Press the PgDn Key
-
- Special NO Reformat Lines with Justification
-
- If you opted to press CtrlJ 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 CtrlJ.
- Notice that nothing is changed.
-
- The other types of justification, however, will be honored inside the
- NO reformat area. These lines are obtained by pressing F8/F7 and then
- F3 or F4.
