Formatting the Page An important advantage to a word processor is that it allows you to change the left, right, top, and bottom margins, tabs, and other layout parameters on the screen without having to retype. The word processor automatically adjusts the text to fit the new width and page length. Format Change Symbol The word processor reserves the dead column of the text area (column 0) for the format change symbol E on . Each time you change the format-that is, the left or right margin, tabs, justification, etc.-this symbol appears in the dead column at the beginning of the paragraph, and the word processor automatically adjusts the text to fit the new setting. These new settings affect not only the current paragraph, but also all subsequent text up to the next format change symbol. The text above the symbol remains unchanged.

(Remember that the format symbol is on the left side of the screen.) 2. Press MENU. 3. Press the ---> to Block. 4. Press the L to Delete. 5. Press RETURN.
