       The Margins and tabs in WordStar are indicated on the ruler line.  The
  ruler line is as shown both above and below.

       There are two types of tabs that can be used in WordStar, as displayed
  briefly two frames above.  The first is the normal tab, represented on the
  ruler line as an exclamation point (!).  It is used to move the cursor to a
  given column on the screen when the TAB key or ^I is struck.	The second type
  of tab stop is the decimal tab, represented by a pound sign (#).  It is used
  when entering tabular numeric data to represent the position that the decimal
  point is to use.  This makes it easy to maintain alignment when typing tables
  of numeric data.
   NOTE: Turn OFF the justification feature to ensure proper table printing!

       Both types of tab stops are set in using the same commands.  The dif-
  ference is that the # symbol is added to the column number to set a decimal
  tab.

  ^OI -- Set Tab Stop.	You will be asked for a column number to set the tab
	 stop at.  Enter a number and a '!' will appear to indicate the tab.
	 Enter a number followed by a '#" and a '#' will appear to designate
	 the numeric tab stop that you have set.

  ^ON -- Clear Tab Stop.  Asks for column number; 'A' clears all tab stops.

  ^OG -- Paragraph Tab.  This command will temporarily indent the left margin
	 to the first tab stop until the next hard carriage return is encoun-
	 tered; useful for entering indented paragraphs, as in an outline.
	 This also works when using the ^B command to 'reform' paragraphs.

       You have seen how involved it can be to set up the margins and tabs.
  In short, it can be a real pain.  WordStar has a feature that allows you to
  set them up unly once in a document, and then easily reset them whenever you
  call the document in for editing.  See the next exciting frame!

  ^OF -- Set Margins & Tabs to Match Current Ruler Line in File.  This allows
	 you to set the margins and tabs only once, and then re-use them on
	 all subsequent edits.

       The method of setting up a nonprinting ruler line to get a ruler from is
  outlined below.  It makes use of the fact that a line beginning with two dots
  '..' will be ignored by WordStar and not printed.
       ^V..^P <RETURN>	<draw ruler with "-" for blank and "!" for tab>
	      then type ^OF to store reusable non-printing ruler.

				 Line Functions

  ^OC -- Center Line.  Centers the line of text that the cursor is on between
	 the currently set left (L) and right (R) margins as set on the ruler
	 line.

  ^OS -- Set LIne Spacing.  Single spacing is the way WordStar starts out.  If
	 you wish to have your text double spaced, you must set the line spacing
	 to 2.	After that, all text entered will be entered as double spaced,
	 but previously entered text must be ^B paragraph reformed to change it.
	 Current line spacing is shown at the top of screen.

				  Toggles

       Toggles are like light switches.  You flip it once, and it's on.  You
  flip it the second time, and it is off.  In the case of toggles in WordStar,
  they either turn a feature on or off as desired.

 ^OW -- Word wrap off or on.  When word wrap is on, the last word that will not
	fit on the line is pulled over to the first position on the next line.
	When word wrap is off, the user must use the carriage return in order
	to end a line and go to the next line.	When word wrap is off, any tab
	stops outside the current margins are also activated.

  ^OT -- Ruler Line off or on.	Ruler line display of margins and tab stops
	appears or disappears with this toggle.

  ^OJ -- Justification off or on.  Justification is the process of having an
	 even right margin.  When justification is off, the text appears with
	 an uneven or ragged right margin.

  ^OV -- Variable Tabbing off or on.  When on, the tab stops in the ruler line
	 take effect, and spaces are entered into the file for tabs.

  ^OH -- Hyphen-Help off or on.  When the hyphen help feature is on, a ^B
	 paragraph reform will stop on a long word that will not quite fit
	 on the line.  It will then allow the discretionary entry of a soft
	 hyphen.

  ^OE -- Soft Hyphen entry off or on.  When on, and the '-' key is struck, a
	 hyphen is entered that will print only if the word is at the end of
	 a line due to a word wrap or ^B paragraph reform operation.  When off,
	 the hyphen entered will always print as a dash (hard hyphen).

	 When this feature is off, the ConTRoL characters will be invisible,
	 and the display will look more like the printed output.

  ^OP -- Page Break Display off or on.	When on, the page breaks are displayed
	 on the screen by a row of dashes ending with a P (--. . .---P) as they
	 will occur in the text as it printed.	When off, the page breaks are
	 displayed, and the text appears as a continuous sheet of text.
