Horizontal Positioning

The display indicates the left margin and all other horizontal distances in terms of

columns. On paper, however, the width of these columns depends on the selected
pitch. This word processor supports three character widths;

Name

Character Spacing

Pica

10 characters per inch (cpi)

Elite

12 cpi

Micron

15 cpi

Screen Width vs. Paper Width

The distance between the

left

and right margins

must be

smaller than the paper

width. Suppose your paper is 8,5 inches wide and you are using Pica pitch (10 cpi).

You can fit a maximum of 85 characters per line. The distance between margins

should therefore be smaller than

85

columns on the screen (check the

col

indicator

on the status line). The following table indicates the maximum distance between

margins for letter-size paper:

Width

Maximum Characters Between Margins

Letter Size

8.5 inch

10 (Pica) 12 (Elite) 15 (Micron)
