the word under the pointer into the Text to find box when you open the Find dialog box. Clear to
prevent the copy. If no previous search terms appear in the Text to find drop-down list, the Editor

l
Block indent: Enter the number of spaces to jump for each block indent. The default is 2 and the
maximum is 16. The Block indent typically should agree with the tab stops in the Tab stops
option. Perform a block indent by selecting a region of code and pressing CTRL+SHIFT+I (to
indent the code to the right) or CTRL+SHIFT+U (to move the code to the left).
l
Tab stops: Use to set the number of spaces to advance when you enter a tab character or to set
a series of tab stops. Enter a single integer to set the number of spaces to advance with each tab.
Enter a sequence of two or more integers, each separated by a space, to specify tab stops. The
sequence must be in ascending order. Tab stops are measured in number of space characters.
For example, a value of 20 places the tab stop at the 20th space character. You can also use the
drop-down list to select a previously entered value.

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
