STYLE FORM WIDTH
This command provides TFORM with the width of your desired
page size. STYLE FORM WIDTH, with no value for num , resets the
form width to its default setting, which is STYLE FORM WIDTH
8.5 INCHES.
STYLE GAP Options
The GAP options specify the amount of space between the lowest
header and the first line of text, or the space between the last text line
and the topmost footer.
STYLE GAP, with no options at all, resets both gaps to their defaults (as
described below).
STYLE GAP HEADER num units
This command, using your specified num and units , sets the
header gap to a number of lines, computed to the nearest half line,
equivalent to num units .
STYLE GAP HEADER, with no value for num , resets the named gap
to its default value. The default header gap is STYLE GAP
HEADER 0, if no header is defined for the current page (text starts
at the top margin), or STYLE GAP HEADER 1, if any headers exist.
STYLE GAP HEADER + num
This command adds to the current gap setting. Again, you can use
any units; TFORM converts the new gap value to lines, computed
to the nearest half line. If you don’t specify any units , TFORM
assumes you mean LINES.
STYLE GAP HEADER - num
This command works exactly as the STYLE GAP HEADER + num
command does, except that TFORM subtracts from, rather than
adds to, the current header gap setting.
