Section Z. Instructions for Formatting Printed Documents
The following instructions let you design the format of documents you print on a
printer. These instructions do not affect the work as it is displayed on the screen.
Although the instructions themselves are embedded in the document, they do not
appear in the printed version of the work.
Formatting instructions are entered differently from commands typed in
command mode. The formatting instructions are always typed in reverse mode,
and they are always typed within the text, not on the status line. To enter a
formatting instruction, follow these steps:
1. Turn on reverse mode by pressing CONTROL and the 9 key.
