Part Two: Using
PS TEXT FORMAT
Part Two of this manual serves as a quick reference for the most frequently
used TFORM commands. Each formatting task is explained through the
use of several examples chosen to reflect the options available for the
TFORM commands. You aren’t expected to try out every example. Instead,
find the example that meets your needs and enter that command in your
text file. Part Two is divided into the following sections:
Section 7 provides a brief introduction to text formatting and explains
the design of TFORM commands. It also tells you how to use online
help.
Section 8 discusses page layout. This section presents commands for
setting page size and margins, and for controlling spacing and page
breaks in the printed document.
Section 9 presents the commands you use to adjust the text display.
Commands used for joining, justifying, and indenting paragraphs are
covered in this section.
Section 10 shows you how to add headers and footers to a document.
Section 11 explains some of the special formatting abilities of TFORM.
These features include styling text, creating lists, drawing boxes, and
formatting form letters.
Section 12 details the TFORM printing command. In addition to
providing information on running the TFORM program, it also tells
you how to preview a document on your terminal screen, send the
document to another file, print selected pages, and print form letters.
When you first start using TFORM, you’ll probably read through all the
sections completely to familiarize yourself with how TFORM works and
how you use TFORM commands. After you’re more familiar with TFORM,
the Table of Contents and Index can serve as fast pointers to exactly the
information you need.
