Language!
Using Text Services!
(Non-English Languages Only)"
With Text Services enabled, users
with non-English languages can
enter text directly into the document
window in place of using the Text
Services conversion window.!
Syncing Script to Font!
With Synch Script to Font enabled,
users with non-English system
software can enter text in English
or any other language scripts in-
stalled with the system software.
The current language script
changes to reflect the location of
the insertion point. For example, clicking in a paragraph written in Kanji automatically changes the current language script
to Kanji.!
Regardless of the setting of the Synch Script to Font control, choosing an English font from the Font menu automatically
changes the script to English.!
Note: International language scripts also contain a Roman character set. As a result, placing the intersection point within text that appears to be Roman may not change the script to English. Instead, the script changes to the language script used to create the text.!
of 37 165
Page 38
Syncing Font to Script!
Mariner Write saves the last font and text size used when the current International language script changes. To restore the
last font and size used when the script is re-selected, enable the Synch Font to Script command.!
The following defaults are used when the language script is selected for the first time:!
! Script! ! ! Font!
! Roman! ! Geneva!
! Kanji (Japanese)! Osaka!
! Simplified Chinese! Beijing!
! Traditional Chinese! Taipei!
The default font for scripts not listed is the first default application font of the script. The default font size is the last size
selected by the user or the default system font.!
Note: With Synch Font to Script enabled, you cannot enter Roman characters using a non-Roman script. Upon typing English characters, the font and size will change to Geneva or the last font and size settings selected.!

The distances from the page edges to the respective edges of the printable area are called the page margins.!

area, the values you can enter for each margin depend on the printer
selected in the Chooser. The size and orientation of the printable area
are controlled by the Page Setup command.!
To set the page margins:!

Footnotes and Endnotes!
Footnotes and endnotes are numbered references providing an easy way to cite information sources within your document. !
Each footnote has two parts: the index and the content. The index, the actual footnote number, is inserted in the main
body text. The text style of the index is the text style at the insertion point plus the Superior text style. The Superior text
style raises the footnote index above the body text.!
!
The content of the footnote is positioned at the bottom of the page and separated from the body text by a short horizontal
line. Mariner Write will always try to position the footnote content on the same page as the index. As a result, pages may
repaginate as you add information to the footnote.!
!
Endnotes are positioned at the end of the document. Footnotes and endnotes are numbered separately, different number
styles can be specified in the Document Options dialog.!
To insert a footnote:!
1 Position the cursor where you want to insert a footnote.!

Working with Margins!
Three ruler controls, the left and right margin markers and the first-line indent marker, let you adjust the horizontal position
of each paragraph.!
!
As you type, text flows to the right. When the text reaches the right margin, it moves to the next line. This is called word
wrap.!
To change a paragraph’s left or right margin, click anywhere in the paragraph to display the margins for that paragraph.
Then drag the left or right margin to a new position.!

Indenting Paragraphs!
Just above the left margin marker is the first-line indent marker. The first-line indent lets you create an indented or “hanging” paragraph by offsetting the paragraph’s first line to the right or left of the left margin.!
Dragging the left margin marker moves the first-line marker by the same distance. As
a result, the same indentation is maintained when you change the left margin. To
move only the left margin marker, drag the Left Only marker. (See example in “Working with Margins”)!
Each time you press the Return key, you create a new paragraph. The margins of the
new paragraph are the same as the previous paragraph.!
You can also change paragraph margins and first-line indent settings through the
Paragraph dialog.!

Changing Margins for Paragraphs!
To see the margin settings for a single paragraph, simply click anywhere in the paragraph. You don’t have to select the
entire paragraph.!
If your selection includes text from paragraphs having different margins, the ruler displays the margin markers and tabs for
the top-most paragraph of the selection.!

Tabs!
A tab is a non-printing character that’s typed each time you press the Tab key. Pressing tab
moves the insertion point to the next tab stop. !
Note: To see tabs and all other invisible characters, choose Show Invisible Characters from the
Document window or press the Show Invisible Characters button in the tool bar."
There are four kinds of tabs: left, center, right, and decimal. !
When you move the insertion point to a left tab and type,
text aligns on the left and flows to the right.!
When you move the insertion point to a right tab and type,
text aligns on the right and flows to the left.!
When you move the insertion point to a center tab and
type, the center of the text aligns with the tab and text
flows to the left and right.!
When you move the insertion point to a decimal tab and type, text flows to
the left until you type a decimal, period, or soft hyphen. Then text flows to
the right. Decimal tabs are particularly useful for aligning currency or other
decimal numbers.$

Each time you press the Return key to create a new paragraph, the tabs of the new paragraph are the same as the previous paragraph.!
Creating Tabs!
By default, left tab stops are set about every half inch but aren’t displayed in the ruler. %
You can override the default tab stops by setting your own tabs.!
When you set your own tabs, default tabs to the left of the tab you set are ignored. As a result, pressing the Tab key once
moves the insertion point to your first custom tab. Pressing the Tab key again either moves the cursor to the next default
tab or custom tab.!
You can create your own tabs interactively or via the Tab dialog box.$
