SETTING VIA MENUS
Layout settings via pull down menus are discussed in these help topics:
Margins, paper size, alignment, tab stops See MARGINS/TABS
Paragraph shape (justify, center, etc.), indents See PARAGRAPHS
Reformat, wrapping text to new layout settings See FORMATTING
Line height, multiple line spacing See SPACING
Typefaces, enhancing text See FONTS
Page breaks See PAGINATION
..>lr
Footnotes, endnotes See FOOT/ENDNOTES
Headers, footers, page numbering See HEAD/FOOTERS
Auto numbering lines and footnotes, comment lines See INSERT
Index, Table of contents See INDEX/CONTENTS
MEASUREMENTS
Available PC-Write spacing measurements include:
N-c centimeters
N-i inches
N-m current line spacing
N=p points (1/72 inch)
N=r current ruler spacing
N=s sixth inches (picas)
N=t dots (300/inch)
N=u units (97,200/inch)
N-/c per centimeter
N-/i per inch
Decimal is permitted, values are generally accurate to .005
Defaults apply when no unit follows value in guide line:
vertical: sixth inches (s)
horizontal: ruler spacing (r)
Menus default to last unit set for that value (usually inches).
GUIDE LINES
Guide lines control formatting. They are inserted when layout changes are
made using pull-down menus. Guide lines are either ruler lines or dot lines.
You can insert them directly instead, just like typing document text. All
begin with an Alt-G font character. Dot lines begin with an Alt-G followed
by a dot (period). Alt-G characters aren't visible, but guide lines are
highlighted, and "Guide" appears in status line when cursor is on one. Guide
lines don't print. You can hide them along with other formatting codes.
See Hide/Show codes
..agc
To delete a guide line, place cursor at start and press Ctl-Enter.
To delete just the Alt-G, place cursor at start and press Bksp.
DOT LINES
Put each dot line on its own line, preceded by Alt-G.
Upper or lower case makes no difference.
* means line breaks a paragraph.

RULER LINES
A ruler is a guide line that sets paragraph shapes, indents, tabs and
reformat control. When you change layout using pull-down menus, rulers are
inserted. Each starts with an invisible Alt-G, and contains capital letters
used by PC-Write, and lower case letters, dashes and so on for your own
reference. To change look of ruler lines, see CUSTOMIZE.
Rulers break paragraphs. If you want text to wrap across a ruler (e.g. to
run around illustration space), put an "O" letter anywhere in ruler.
