Setting Line Width
and Tabs
To format the letter so that it looks nice and is easy to read, set the line
width to be shorter than the default 70 characters. A 60-character line
width would probably look best for this letter. Also, remember that the
default tab stops are set at every eight characters; an eight-character indent
is probably too deep for paragraphs in the letter. Change the indent to five.
To change the settings for line width and tabs, follow these steps:
1. Press the RECONFIGURE OPTIONS key.
2. When the RECONFIGURE OPTIONS screen appears (showing your
default profile), make the changes shown in the following example.
Profile * from $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.TEDPROFL, created 18JUN87.
Remarks: tabs x 5;line width 60
Align Width: 60 Auto Word Wrap : ON
Overlap (0-12): 2 Exit Confirmation: ON
Paragraph Lines: 6 Auto Renumber: ON
Printer Page Size: 0 RETURN Function: ON
Blank Fill on 3270: ON
Tab Stops (2-238): 6 11 16 21 26 31 36 41 46 51 56 61 66
Word Stops: " !""#$&()*+,./:;<=> ?@[\]^_{|}~"

Type remarks that
identify this profile.
Type numbers in
increments of five.
The left margin,
column 1, is always
an implicit tab stop.
These two options
should be set to ON.
3. Before you exit from the screen, check the right-hand column of the
screen to see that the fields called auto word wrap and RETURN
function are set to ON. TEDIT needs these settings to adjust line width
automatically. If these fields do not read ON, type ON in the field
following the option.
4. Press *C or RETURN to exit from the screen, TEDIT keeps the changes
you have made intact as long as you do not exit from the editor.
