There are three ways in which you can index to another marker in the
marker card:
1. By means of the ENTER key, the user moves to the next marker within
a row. At the end of a row, the user moves to the first marker in the next
row.
2. By means of the cursor keys, the user moves one marker up, down, left
or right each time.
3. By clicking with the mouse, every individual marker can be directly
selected.
Note: As described above, the cursor keys move to another marker. How-
ever, after pressing the function key F2, these keys can be used to move
within a text field in order to revise a text at the appropriate position. Press-
ing F2 again or ENTER, restores the original functions of the keys.
A second line of text may be entered on a marker by pressing "Ctrl +
ENTER ".
The text entered in the text field may sometimes exceed the maximum num-
ber of characters possible on a marker. If the text shown on the marker is
beyond the marker edges, it will not plot properly. Take care not to enter
text which is too large, too long, or has too many lines of text.
Choosing a smaller font size will permit more characters to be written on a
marker (see EDITING BLOCKS for further details).
