You can abbreviate these commands or express the measurements in other
units if you choose. Each of the following sets of command examples, for
instance, are equivalent to the previous ones:
\STY FOR WID 7; STY FOR LEN 9
Notice that you can combine two or more commands on a command line if
you separate them with semicolons.
\STYLE FORM WIDTH 42 PICAS
\STYLE FORM LENGTH 648 POINTS
When you don’t explicitly indicate a unit of measurement with STYLE
FORM, TFORM assumes inches.
Setting Margins Use the STYLE MARGIN command if you want to change the default
margins. If you want, for example, to set your top and bottom margins to
half an inch, simply type:
\STYLE MARGIN TOP 0.5
\STYLE MARGIN BOTTOM 0.5
You can change left and right margins in similar fashion, using STYLE
MARGIN LEFT and STYLE MARGIN RIGHT.
Suppose you want to set the margins all around your page to 1 INCH. You
can do so with the following command line at the beginning of your input
file:
\STY MAR TOP 1; STY MAR BOT 1; STY MAR RIG 1; STY MAR LEF 1
When you don’t explicitly indicate a unit of measurement with STYLE
MARGIN, TFORM assumes inches.
