USING HFDL COMMANDS

Single dots repeated, if you do not use a DOT LEADER

command to specify the DOT LEADER text string.

Examples The following is an example of a DOT LEADER used between

two text strings:

TEXT AT 1,1 ’John Doe’ DOT LEADER ’987–6543’;

This produces the following text on the form:

John Doe......................................................987–6543

The following is an example of a DOT LEADER following a text

string and ending at the column boundary:

TEXT AT 1,1 ’Sales Tax’ DOT LEADER NEW LINE ‘Total Now

Due’ DOT LEADER;

This produces the following text on the form:

Sales Tax ......................................................................

Total Now Due..............................................................

The following is an example of the long form of the TEXT AT

command:

HORIZONTAL TEXT SPACED 12 POINTS PER LINE ALIGNED

CENTER IN COLUMN USING FONT 1 AND USING INK 1 AT 1,

1 ’Phone List’ NEW LINE ’John Doe’ DOT LEADER ’987–6543’;

The following is an example of the short form:

TEXT SPACED 12 POINTS PER LINE ALI CEN INK 1 AT 1,1

’Phone List’ NEW LINE ’John Doe’ DOT LEA ’987–6543’;

This produces the following text on the form:

Phone List

John Doe . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .987–6543

TEXT IN BOX command

Use the TEXT IN BOX command to incorporate text into a box

on your form. The command syntax format designates the

proper type and placement of text in a box according to the

planned form. This command format is similar to the TEXT AT

command, except it includes those parameters necessary to

designate the placement of text in a box.

You must define a box with matching coordinate values before

you can reference it in a TEXT IN BOX command. You can

create boxes and adjoining boxes with BOX commands, LINE

commands, or both.
