Inserting Vertical Rules With a Function Key

Creating an Oversized Table

5–32

5.

To put vertical rules in the rest of the file, simply move the cursor to the
next column where you want to insert a rule. Press REPLACE twice.
Do this for each rule in the table. When you get to the right edge of the
screen, use LEFTSCROLL or TAB to scroll the text so you can put in the
rest of the rules.

6.

Because the REPLACE command changed a null character to a “|”, the
horizontal lines of hyphens moved to the right each time you inserted a
vertical rule. Go to the right edge of the table now and delete the extra
hyphens so that the rules line up with the end of the TOTALS column.
Your table should look like Figure 5-3 when you have finished.
