11. Other pieces of the customer type data can be added to the top part of the
form from within the same alphanumeric command sequence initiated in
the previous step. Using a Justification command (J), the print position
can be lowered 0.4 inches (
jus
). Using Horizontal Tab commands (T), the
HULL NO: data can be positioned 1.5 inches (
dis
) from the left margin
and the RIGGING: data can be positioned 4.9 inches (
dis
) from the left
margin.

12. The next set of customer data can be input in a similar fashion. Use the
Justification command (J) to move the print position down 0.8 inches
(
jus
), use the Horizontal Tab command (T) to position the COLOR: data
1.5 inches (
dis
) from the left margin and the DELIVERY DATE: data 4.4
inches (

) from the left margin.

13. The remaining text on the top portion of the form can now be entered,
again using a combination of Justification (J) and Horizontal Tab (T)
commands. Begin by justifying the print position 1.4 inches (
jus
) down
and tabbing 3.2 inches (
dis
) from the left margin for the SPECIAL ORDER
ITEMS heading.
Justify the print position 1.8 inches (
jus
) and tab 1.7 inches (
dis
) for the
ITEM heading, 3.5 inches (
dis
) for the DESCRIPTION heading, and 6.0
inches (
dis
) for the PRICE heading. Notice that the Justification command
always moves the print position relative to the last printed row position of
the alphanumeric command sequence. For this reason, the SPECIAL
ORDER ITEMS heading justified at 1.4 inches is 0.4 inches above the
ITEM, DESCRIPTION, and PRICE headings justified at 1.8 inches.
Similarly, the Horizontal Tab command moves the print position relative to
the left margin. Unlike a conventional typewriter, this allows you to move
the print position to the left or the right of the current position simply by
specifying a different tab position relative to the left margin.
Use the Interrupt command (I) followed by a Graphics Mode carriage
return (-) to position this part of the form 2.0 inches (
dis
) from the
previously active graphics command sequence (the sequence that
constructed the customer data).
