The
Indent margin marks the character position which
is
used
for
the start oj a new
paragraph.
For
an
80
character display
It
IS
initially
set
at
the fifteenth character
POSition.
There
is
no restriction
on
the relative positions oj the Indent and left margins.
If
you
do
not want
to
use indented paragraphs you may move them
so
that they are both
In
the
same place.
You
may
even
place the indent margin
to
the
left
of
the left margin. This
is
useful for producing numbered paragraphs
as
shown
in
the
follOWing
example.

ThiS
is

2)
The
indent margin
is
three
characters
to
the left
of
the
left
margin.
In
this
case,
starting a new paragraph (by pressing ENTER)
will
allow text
to
be typed
at
the "indent" position.
All
following text
will
be displayed between the left and right
margin positions until you press ENTER again.
JUSTIFICATION
The justify command allows you
to
alter the type
of
justification used
in
your document.
Like the margins command,
all
changes
take
effect
from
the current paragraph (that
containing the cursor) and remain
in
force until the end
of
the document, or until the
next change
of
Justification. When you select this command you
will
see that
you
are
offered the choice
of
left,
right or centred justification.
Initially,
it
assumes nght
Justification,
the
text
is
aligned
on
both the
left
and right margins,
producing text
With
an
appearance
like
that
of
this manual.
If
there
are
not
sufficient characters
on
a line to make the margins match, extra spaces
Will
be added
between the words
unlit they
do.
The
final
effect
is
very professional.
However,
if
you use
an
unusually large quantity
of
extra-long or hyphenated words
In
a document,
unpleasant-looking
spaces
may result.
To
choose left justification, press the L
key
after calling the Justify
command
This
will
produce text which looks
like
the text
In
thiS
paragraph. The left margin
is
aligned, but the spacing
of
the text
Within
a line
is
not
adjusted,
so
that the right
hand margin
is
left uneven.
Centre justification, selected by
uSing
the C option
of
the Justify command, causes the text
of
each line
to
be
centred between the left
and right margins. The text could then appear
as
shown
in
thiS
paragraph.
Centre
Justification
IS
useful,
for
example,
in
centering headings
and
titles,
or for adding labels
to
diagrams
As
with
the margins command, you may press the up or down cursor
keys
to
move
to
another paragraph and make further changes
of
Justification.
Press ENTER to leave
the command.
