Hi Amiyo,
My answers appear below your questions.
At 01:08 AM 6/16/2004, you wrote:
I do not stille understand the formatting differences between heading1 and
heading2 styles in dbt. Both seem centred. I understand that they are
required to make sure that they are not stranded at the bottom of a page.
They are also necessary for generating table of contents. Would you please
specify their attributes?
H1 is centered & has a blank line both before & after it.
H2 is indented four spaces (begins in Cell 5) & only has the skipped line
before the text.
I also cannot insert or delete codes. When I am using f6 to find and
replace h1 with h2 or the like, the "text not found" error message
appears. What may be wrong?
A few ideas: Are you using the Reveal Codes view? If not, hit the ALT-F3
command. (This assumes you are in a Duxbury Print file.) Now you should
hear things like "Left-bracket Es Para" which may not make too much sense
at first, but those are the codes used by Duxbury.
To do a search & replace you need the exact Duxbury terminology. You can
use the Control-LeftBracket command & then type in the code if you know it.
I find it easier to use F5 (Code List) & pick the commands I want.
Now, the beginning H1 style is actually "[es~h1.]". So if you do F5, type E
S (meaning "element start"). Then tab once & type in "h1." (that's "H 1
period"). Then press Enter.
This is complicated but this will get the code entered just the way Duxbury
needs it. You can use the F5 Code List either to enter codes directly into
the file or to put codes in the Search & Replace screen.
The H1 ending code is "[ee~h1.]" (E E for "Element End"). Of course you
need both the starting & ending code to make sure a block of text appears
the way you want.
Hope this helps,
Patrick
