The centering command centers a line of text between the margins. This is handy for headings, titles, and captions. Right justification is the opposite of left justification. The right mar- gin is even and the left is not. Auto justification puts extra spaces between words where necessary so that both the left and right margins are even. This is the way most magazines, newspapers, and books (including this one) are printed. With this command, you need a WIDTH statement at the beginning of your program. The following line shows the proper format. 10 LPRINT WIDTH "LPT1:",255 When you are using auto justification use carriage returns at the end of paragraphs only, not at the end of each line of text. Also keep in mind that changing the right margin may make justified text look better. The next paragraph is printed with this feature. Since most word processing programs have their own justification commands, use this ESCape code only with BASIC or another programming language, not with a word processingprogram. When you use any of the justification commands, be sure to send the NLQ command first. 32

The centering command centers
a
line of text between the margins.
This is handy for headings, titles, and captions.
Right justification is the opposite of left justification. The right mar-
gin is even and the left is not.
Auto justification puts extra spaces between words where necessary
so that both the left and right margins are even. This is the way most
magazines, newspapers, and books (including this one) are printed.
With this command, you need a WIDTH statement at the begin-
ning of your program. The following line shows the proper format.
10 LPRINT WIDTH "LPT1:",255
When you are using auto justification use
carriage returns at the end
of paragraphs only, not at the end of each line of text. Also keep in
mind that changing the right margin may make justified text look
better. The next paragraph is printed with this feature.
Since most word processing programs have
their own justification commands, use this
ESCape code only with BASIC or another
programming
language,
not
with a
word
processingprogram.
When you use any of the justification commands, be sure to send
the NLQ
command first.
