Right margin: Select to display a vertical gray bar as a right margin indicator. Use the
Right margin position drop-down list to set the position of this indicator. This indicator is an
on-screen visual reference only. It does not print, and does not enforce word wrap on lines
that exceed the number of characters set for it. It can be useful to indicate the right margin
of the printed page, making it easy to determine whether a line of code extends beyond the
printable area of the page.
l
Right margin position: Enter the position of the right margin indicator, in number of
characters, relative to the left margin. For example, if you enter 80, the distance from the left
margin to the right margin indicator is 80 characters. Use the drop-down list to select a
previously-entered margin position.
l Gutter: Select to have the Editor display a gutter between the Commands and Code areas.
Use the Gutter width option to set the width of the gutter. Select the Line numbers on gutter
option to display line numbers in this area.

Gutter width: Enter the width, in pixels, of the gutter. Use the drop-down list to select a
previously-entered gutter width.

Line numbers on page: Select to display code line numbers at the left edge of the Code
area. If you clear both this and the Line numbers on gutter option, no line numbers appear
alongside the lines of code.
