ALIGN
TEDIT Commands
058059 Tandem Computers Incorporated 3–7
How to Use
First place the cursor within the text item that you want to align. Then
enter the ALIGN command with one of the preceding text items (for
example, PARAGRAPH).
What Happens
If there is any part of a word beyond the align width, TEDIT moves that
word to either a new line or the beginning of the next line. If there is no
room on the next line for additional characters, TEDIT shifts text to the next
line until all lines are less than or equal to the align width.
If a line is shorter than the align width, TEDIT moves words from the
following lines into this line until the line is less than or equal to the align
width.
If a text item spans many screens, TEDIT moves text up in the window so
that you see the cursor and the text after the alignment.
Tips
By entering a repeat count with ALIGN and one of the specified text
items, you can align several lines, paragraphs, sentences, or even
sections all at once. See “Repeat Count” in Section 2 for details about
the repeat count.
ALIGN uses the align width setting in the profile.
The default align width is 70 columns.
You can set or change the align width option with the RECONFIGURE
OPTIONS command.
