Brother WP330MDS - Manual (Page 63)

The minimum distance between margins is set to two inches. The maximum
distance is nine inches (maximum printing width of the word processor) and, in
terms of columns, depends on the pitch as Indicated in the following table:
NOTES:
If you mistakenly press CODE + M REL when there is no need to modify the
margins, press CANCEL to resume normal editing.

Tabs and Decimal Tabs
If you have been using a typewriter, you already know how convenient tabs are for
aligning text. Decimal tabs provide additional convenience when typing numbers.
Decimal tabs automatically align a column of numbers at the decimal point instead of
the first character. The scale indicates these two types of tabs with T for normal tabs,
and D for decimal tabs.

CODE
You may change tabs at any time - before, while, or after typing the text.
1. Move the cursor to the position where you want a tab. (See “Moving the Text
Cursor"’ on page 37.)
2. Press CODE + T SET to set a normal tab, or CODE + DT SET to set a decimal
tab at the current cursor position. The corresponding symbol T or D appears on
the scale. Up to 30 tabs and decimal tabs can be set. Setting a tab where you
already had a decimal tab replaces the D with a T and vice-versa.
NOTES:
• When the *NEWFILE is opened, there are no tab set.
• Since the pitch determines the actual position on the printed page, the columns
may appear at undesired positions if you change the pitch of a table formatted
with tabs and decimal tabs.
