A system for adjusting text sequences stored in a memory into text blocks having variable right margins. The detection of a code signal causes the system to enter a non-playout adjust mode. The operator is then prompted to enter a line count for the text block to be formatted. After the line count is entered, the system proceeds to adjust the number of lines of text equal to the line count to the predetermined formatting parameters. An interrupt of the adjust mode occurs upon the detection of the end of text, mode- measure codes in memory, special codes (e.g. stop, edit, error, page end), hyphenation requests, forced line overflow, or upon completion of the text block line count. The system presents to the operator visual indicators upon the occurrence of an interrupt sufficient to define the cause of the interrupt and the location in text where the interrupt occurred. During the interrupt, the operator may enter information into the system or play out codes from memory, and then enter a code signal that causes the system to continue in the non- playout adjust mode. <IMAGE> |
