ALIGN and Text Items ALIGN performs the following actions on TEDIT text items.
ALIGN LINE
ALIGN LINE adjusts the right margin of a line so that it is less than or equal
to the align width.
How to Use. Place the cursor anywhere in a line. Then enter ALIGN LINE.
What Happens. If a line is wider than the align width, TEDIT moves words to
the next line until the line is equal to or less than the align width. This
movement of words could cause the next line to become wider than the
align width, thus requiring you to align the next line.
Tips. The ALIGN LINE command acts on an entire line, regardless of the
cursor position.
ALIGN PARAGRAPH
ALIGN PARAGRAPH adjusts the right margin of a paragraph so that each
line is less than or equal to the align width. The paragraph being adjusted
includes all text between the cursor and the end of the paragraph.
How to Use. First place the cursor at the position in the paragraph where you
want the alignment to start. Then enter ALIGN PARAGRAPH.
What Happens. TEDIT aligns all text between the cursor position and the
start of the next paragraph.
Tips. See Section 2 for a description of a paragraph.
ALIGN REGION
ALIGN REGION adjusts the right margin of a region so that each line is less
than or equal to the align width. The region being adjusted includes all text
between the cursor and the region boundary, created by the
DEFINEREGION command.
How to Use. First identify one end of a region with the DEFINEREGION
command. Next, move the cursor to the other end of the region. Then enter
ALIGN REGION.
