FORMATTING COMMANDS
<FORMAT> (the ALT F key) 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> (the ALT K key) will reformat the paragraph starting at the
cursor position.
<GLOBAL REFORM> (the ALT F3 key) allows you to reformat the entire
document accoring to each line's associated format block.
<CHANGE MARGINS> (the ALT Y key) 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 for-
mat 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 docu-
ment this is the same as pressing the <GLOBAL REFORM> key afterwards.
