         The line above illustrates the  use  of  embedded  rulerì
         lines. These are saved with the document  and  give  youì
         total control over how tab and margin settings are used.

         Tab settings are marked by the    !   character  in  theì
         ruler line and decimal tabs by the    #   character.

         The rule with all such Dot Commands  is  the  full  stopì
         must be in column 1 of the line  or  the  command  won'tì
         work.

         Notice how the ruler line changes as you move the cursorì
         up and down past the .RR command so  that  the  tab  andì
         margin settings are always set exactly as you want  themì
         for each part of your document.
