JUSTIFY
(J)
The Justify command
IS
used
to
modify the positioning of text and numbers
in
a range
of
cells.
It
has two main options;
to
modify existing
cells,
or
to
set
the default Justification
that Abacus

use when
you
put data
in
a
cell
which
is
currently empty.
You
should
press ENTER
to
select the Cells option, or the D
key
to
select the Defaults option.
You
are then asked
to
specify whether you want
to
modify the Justification of text
(by
pressing ENTER) or
of
numbers (by pressing the N
key).
In
either case
you
can then
select
left
(ENTER), right
(R)
or centre
(C)

In
the case of the Cells option you are finally asked
to
give the range over which the
change
IS
to
act.
You
do
not have
to
give a range
in
the Defaults option. The new default
will
apply
to
all
newly created
cells,
at
any point
in
the grid, until
you
make a further change
In
