- AltR with AltL Blocking (Line Reformatting)
-
-
- AltR with AltL blocking permits you to define exactly which lines you
- want to reformat.
-
- Move the cursor to this line and press AltL.
- Then move the cursor to the line below and press AltL again.
- Now press AltR. You will see that only those lines within the shaded
- area are reformatted.
-
- When you reformat in this manner, the justification will ignore the
- INDENT character on the TAB line (if you specified one) to permit you
- to reformat without having to reset the TAB line.
-
-
-
- Press the PgDn Key
-
- CtrlR with CtrlB Blocking (Column Reformatting)
-
- 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 reformatted
- the cursor just above the "^" without changing the location
- character below and press CtrlB of any text in this paragraph.
- again, and then press CtrlR.
- (^)
- 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 reformatted WITHIN the
- blocked area.
- Press the PgDn Key
-
-
- AltR with CtrlB Blocking (New Margins)
-
- This reformatting technique is extremely useful, for it allows you to
- redefine the margins for a block of text without having to change the
- TAB and Margin definitions, reformat, and then go back and reset the
- margins again. Move the cursor to the first "r" 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 AltR. Notice that the paragraph has been reformatted
- according to where it was blocked without changing the TAB line.
- ^ ^
- Notice that since the margins were pulled in that additional lines
- were added to the text.
-
- Press the PgDn Key
-
-
-
- CtrlR with No Blocking (Paragraph Reformatting)
-
- CtrlR will reformat an entire paragraph without marking it. If an
- area in the file has been marked with AltL or CtrlL, these markings
- will be ignored, (although a warning message will first be issued
- since the blocking will be cleared before doing the justifying).
-
- CtrlR 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 reformatting has been completed. Place the cursor
- here (*) and press CtrlR.
-
- (The cursor should be moved to this line.)
-
-
-
- Press the PgDn Key
-
- Special NO Reformat Lines with Reformatting
-
- If you decided to press CtrlR 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 CtrlR.
- Notice that nothing is changed.
-
- The other types of reformatting, however, will be honored inside the
- NO reformat area. The NO Reformat lines are obtained by pressing
- F8/F7 and then F3 or F4.
