specify other values at the beginning of a subsequent paragraph or until you
enter codes that change the style sheet.
Left-align paragraph: <*L> ●
Center-align paragraph: <*C> ●
Right-align paragraph : <*R> ●
Justify paragraph: <*J> ●
Force Justify paragraph: <*F> ●
Towards Spine paragraph: <*T> ●
Away from Spine paragraph: <*W> ●
Character Alignment : <*An>, where n indicates the type of alignment; <AT> ●
= Em box Top/Right, <AO> = ICF Top/Rright, <AC> = Center, <AM> = ICF
Bottom/Left, <AB> = Em box Bottom/Left, <AL> = Baseline
Set Tab stops : <*t(##.#,#,"1 or 2 characters")>. Values in parentheses ●
represent Position (in points), Alignment, and Fill Characters. For no fill
characters, enter a 1 followed by two spaces. For 1 fill character, enter a 1
followed by the repeat character (enter the character twice). For 2 fill
characters, enter a 2 followed by the alternating characters. Alignment
options are 0 for Left, 1 for Center, 2 for Right, 4 for Decimal, 5 for Comma,
and any printing character (in quotation marks) for Align On. Note: Reverting
text to the Normal style sheet does not revert the alignment to the alignment
specified in the Normal style sheet. Instead, you must specify the new
alignment in addition to reapplying the Normal style sheet. All the tabs for a
paragraph are included, separated by commas, within the parentheses.
Set Paragraph attributes : <*p(##.#,##.#,##.#,##.#,##.#,##.#,##.#,##,##,G ●
or g(P,S))>. Values in parentheses represent Left Indent, First Line Indent,
Right Indent, Last Line Indent, Leading, Space Before, Space After, Space
Between, Use Space Before and Lock to Grid. For example, <*p(16,36,16,-
8,14,9,12,0,2,g(P,S))> would format text that has a 16 pt Left Indent, 36 pt First
Line Indent, 16 pt Right Indent, -8 pt Last Line Indent, 14 pt Leading, 9 pt
Space Before, 12 pt Space After, 0 pt Space Between, 2 Space Before applied
both at column top and between paragraphs and g does not Lock to Grid.
You can specify the first line of a paragraph as a percentage of an Em space
by using a decimal percentage value in the First Line Indent position (for
example, use 0.6 for 60%). In Space Between, -1 will Ignore Space Between, 0
or any numerical value will apply Space Between. In Use Space Before, 0 will
apply Space Before only between paragraphs, 1 will apply Space Before only
at column top, 2 will apply Space Before both at column top and between
paragraphs. If you specify the leading of a paragraph as a percentage, it is
termed as Proportional Leading. The Proportional Leading value can be both
