Step 7. Making Equal Distance between Item Line Columns
W e now want to perform the same actions for the item-line columns below the dotted line. As
the horizontal positions of the item line columns are identical to the column headers, we can
copy the elements for the headers and just correct the vertical position (from upper edge) and
the input line numbers.
We copy the elements by clicking the first remap, holding down the key and then
clicking on the last remap inserted above and then use the clipboard options ‘Copy’, click the
Bottom of the element list and then ‘Paste’:
While all the elements are all marked (grouped) we can move them all simply by dragging one
of the grouped elements to the new position in the Result View. In this case we drag the
elements down 40 pels (1/6 of an inch):
All the marked remaps are referring to line 28, but they should refer to all the detail lines (30-
42) instead. So we need to edit each of the remaps. This might be a problem if this default
setting is activated: (Double click remap and tabulator elements to update input)
This option is default activated to prevent the user from inadvertently change any remap and
or tabulator. So in order to change the remap window elements you can either disable this
option or start the coming changes by double clicking the remap window element.
Each of the marked remap window elements is now changed to select lines 30-42 instead of
line 28. (Notice a double clicked remap turns black when editing is allowed). You can change
them by either dragging in the Input view or be typing the new line interval in the Input tab of
each element.
Notice, that we need to disable the ‘Blank input text’ option on the first column as this
information will need to remain in the spooled file, so a later call to a conditioned overlay can
‘see’ the original spooled file text:
