The paragraph formatting allows the user align the paragraph in the following manners:
|
Left Align |
Text will be left aligned against the left margin and will not extend past the right margin. |
|
Center Align |
Text will be centered between the left and right margins. |
|
Right Align |
Text will be right aligned against the right margin and will not extend past the left margin. |
|
Fill |
Text will be aligned between the right and left margins with spaces added between words to ensure alignment to both margins. The last line of the paragraph will be aligned only to the left margin. |
Each of the separate alignment commands may be selected individually from the menu, or invoked from the Paragraph Setup/Reformatting dialog.
The Paragraph Setup/Reformatting dialog specifies the parameters used for reformatting. These parameters are used when one of the paragraph formatting commands are used.
The parameters are:
|
Hanging Indent |
This applies to the left alignment only. If set, the alignment will allow a second margin to be specified that is used for the second and successive lines of a paragraph. This causes the first line of a paragraph to be indented with one setting and the rest of the paragraph to have a different setting. If this is set, the hanging indent value may be entered in the dialog. |
|
Margins - Use paragraph left margin |
This instructs UltraEdit to use the existing left margin of the paragraph that is being reformatted rather than specifying a new margin value. |
|
Margins - Specify margin |
This setting instructs UltraEdit to use the left margin value entered in the dialog as the indention for the left margin when reformatting the paragraph. |
|
Margins - Right margin |
This setting specifies the right margin to be used when reformatting the paragraph. This is the last column number (starting at 1) at which text may be placed. |
The margin settings above will be used for all reformatting commands including the Reformat Paragraph command.
All hard returns are removed for the paragraph, and the paragraph is reformatted based on the settings.
The complete file may be reformatted using the Select All command to first select the complete file, then reformat it.
