Automatic Attribute Pickup

Automatic   attribute  pickup is one of the most important
feature  in  Calamus.  When   text  is  manipulated   with 
attributes  such  as:  character spacing,    line spacing,
alignment formatting, tabs and word spacing etc., the text
ruler  bar will  keep track  of  these  attributes. If you
should deside up on using those attributes within  another
text frame column, you only need  to copy  and insert that
ruler bar.  Once  ruler bar is inserted,  the text  within
that  frame  column   will  pick  up  whatever  attributes
are there. All text  attributes are  set within the "Text"
module.


Refer to page IX-20 in the Calamus manual.
