Changing BASIC properties
The basic paragraph formatting options allows you to control the
following:
Option Meaning
---------------------------------------------------------
First The distance from the column edge
that the first line of a paragraph
should be indented
Left The distance from the column edge
that entire paragraph should be
indented
Right The distance from the right edge
of the column that a paragraph
should be indented
Alignment A paragraph can be left aligned,
right aligned, centered,
justified, or left as you type it.
Above The amount of space alloted before
the text of a paragraph. This is
ignored if the below value of the
previous paragraph is greater.
Below The amount of space to allot after
a paragraph before beginning the
next paragraph. This is ignored if
the above value from the next
paragraph is greater.
Line Spacing The standard spacings are 1.0 (single
spacing), 2.0 (double spacing), and
1.5 (one-and-a-half spacing), but any
value can be used here.
Next P Tag This allows you to specify if you
always want the following paragraph
to have a format of another type.
Tab Stops Clicking on "Edit" will allow you to
modify the tab stops. To add a tab
stop, select "New Tab Stop". Click in
the position box and type the distance
you wish the tab stop to be from the
left edge of the column.
The alignment option lets you specify
whether the tab stop should be left
aligned, right aligned, centered, or
decimal aligned. For decimal
alignment, you can specify the
character on which to align in the
Decimal Char box. If you are writing
a table of contents, or need tabs that
will include a repeated character or
string out to the next tab stop,
select a Leader of that string.
