Using TAB and BACKTAB for Horizontal Scrolling
You now have only the two main headings left to put on the table. Use the
RULER to determine the midpoint in each of the areas where you want the
headings for “DEPARTMENT” and “QUARTERLY EXPENSES.” Use the
TAB and BACKTAB commands to move horizontally in the file and to
scroll the text. Center the headings in their areas as shown in the following
example.
DEPARTMENT QUARTERLY EXPENSES
....+....10...+....20...+....30...+....40...+....50...+....60...+....70...+....

Putting in Horizontal and Vertical Rules
You can add row headings and put horizontal rules in the file easily by
using the COPY and RETRIEVE commands. You type the headings and the
horizontal rule only once and then simply copy it to each new location. To
easily put vertical rules in the table, you use the REPLACE command. Both
of these procedures are discussed next.
