Summary |
Re-formats the current document. Re-formatting a document using tformat correctly positions footnotes and anchored frames and is more powerful and effective than trf or wdr. |
Example extract |
The macro below formats the whole document, using index and contents control streams ic1 and cc1:

Syntax

|
Ø: |
The whole document is re-formatted without using control streams. |
?:L |
Invokes the re-format dialogue box. |
;:L |
Followed by the option number listed below, this parameter specifies which page to go to after formatting. For example "tformat ;1" - tformat whole doc and stay on last page. This can be useful before a freeze because it ensures that the freeze will use the page information generated by the tformat and not some subsequent trf which may desynchronise it.
|
start page:n |
The start page of the range of pages to be re-formatted. If this parameter is omitted, Arbortext APP will re-format the entire document. |
end page:n |
The end page of the range of pages to be re-formatted. If this parameter is omitted, Arbortext APP will re-format the entire document. |
scan fwd:n |
The 'forward scan limit'; the number of paragraphs Arbortext APP should scan ahead when moving paragraphs to fill the available space in a frame for which Fill mode has been enabled with tfcol and tffill. Forward Scan is unique in that it is the only feature that can change your main text stream during formatting and for this reason it is well protected. The feature is only available through tformat and even then it must be specifically altered from its default value of 0, in effect giving Arbortext APP 'permission' to change your text stream as necessary. In the event that re-formatting produces unsatisfactory results or modifies your text in an unacceptable way then selecting [Edit/Undo], (tundo) will restore all changes made; it may then be necessary to perform another format to restore Arbortext APP's internal structures. |
ic stream:t |
Index control stream to be used during re-formatting to generate an index. See tindmk |
cc stream:t |
Contents control stream to be used during re-formatting to generate a table of contents. see ttocmk |
ac stream:t |
Anchor control stream, controlling the position of anchored frames within the document. |
repos anchors:n |
|
autocopy create:n |
|
autocopy purge:n |
|
freeze create:n |
|
freeze purge:n |
|
Example |
This example will format pages 15 to 30 without control streams.

Example |
The macro below uses the wdb macro to get then number of the current page from the Goto page dialogue box, and then uses the current page number as parameters to tformat. This is a more thorough re-formatting than trf alone provides, and is most useful when assigned to a keystroke, which you can then, for example, use after adding a footnote reference:
