Editing Character Width

The Width and Shift menus allow you to change the width of individual characters.

The Width Menu

Use the Width menu to alter the width of a single character. This menu is enabled only when you are editing a proportional space font. You can make a character wider or narrower by adding or deleting columns of pels from the right, the left, or both sides. You may also use the Set Character Increment option to set the width of a character. On-line help panels describe how to perform these functions.

The Shift Menu

Use the Shift menu to insert a one-pel-wide row or column into (or delete from) the character that you are editing. When you select shift, the pointer becomes a flat horizontal or vertical bar when inside the edit window. This enables you to position it exactly where you want the operation to take place.

To cancel a shift you have selected before execution, select Cancel Choice.
