Code
~CNXN:#.#~
Centering Code
Description
The Centering Code helps center school information on report
headers. You can view and edit school information from the
Customize Data Base program, or by choosing
FileCustomizeSchool Information from the upper toolbar.
The #.# after the colon is the number of inches in which to center
the entry. On a normal 8 ½ x 11 inch piece of paper, with ½ inch
margins on either side, # would be replaced with 7.5.
The X may be replaced with an N, U, S, C, or P
• N: centers Name of school
• U: underlines the school name
• S: centers school’s Street address
• C: centers City, State & Zip of school on a single line
• P: centers the Phone # of school
For example: ~CNNN:7.5~ would center your school name on a
standard piece of paper.
~HLINE:XY~
Header line
~ULINE:X:Y~
Underline
~VLINE~:Y1:Y2~
Vertical Line
This header line Report Writer code prints a solid line from margin
to margin. The X variable indicates the width of the line, with
1=thin, 2=medium and 3=thick. The Y variable indicates the
position of the line, with 1=top, 2=middle and 3=bottom. For
example, to underline the heading of a report with a bold line
running from one side of the paper to another, place a ~HLINE:31~
code on the line directly below the heading.
This code prints an underline starting at point X and ending at point
Y on a line of a report. (X and Y = number of inches from the left
margin.) This code is meant to be used on a report writer line with
other text and codes, including other ~ULINE~ codes (i.e., you may
want to underline more than one item on a line).
Prints a Vertical Line starting from the Y1 coordinate, and ending
at the Y2 coordinate, Y being the number of inches from the top
margin. Use a tab code in conjunction with the vertical line code to
position the X coordinate, X being the number of inches from the
left margin). For example, ~T5.0~~VLINE:1.04.0~ will print a three
inch vertical line starting one inch from the top margin, beginning
five inches from the left margin.
