Parameters
HORIZONTAL or VERTICAL specifies the direction of the text
relative to the page orientation.
SPACED defines the amount of vertical space (in n units) a line
of text occupies. If you specify a value (not zero), it replaces the line
spacing value of the font being used for this TEXT AT command. An
LPI value specifies line height in terms of lines per inch. All other
specifications are actual line height measurements. The n units value
must be positive. The units are INCHES, CENTIMETERS, CPI, LPI,
DOTS, and XDOTS. You can use two decimal places when you
specify inches and centimeters. You must express DOTS and XDOTS
in integers. POINTS specifies that you want the TEXT SPACED in n
POINTS (1/72 inch).

ALIGNED specifies the text justification alignment (LEFT, RIGHT,
CENTER, TOP, BOTTOM, JUSTIFIED). See the Xerox Laser Printing
Systems Forms Creation Guide for alignment examples. You can
center multiple horizontal strings beneath each other or right– or left–
justify them. You can center multiple vertical strings alongside each
other or align them on the top or bottom.

The JUSTIFIED alignment mode allows you to justify text. In simple
justification (with no COLUMN), you must specify where the lines
break. You can justify lines by finding the longest line in a block of
lines, then justify other text strings to this length. This method of
justification is best for justifying small blocks of text or when you must
justify the last line of a paragraph. You can use the JUSTIFIED
parameter with the INTERWORD SPACE and the COLUMN SIZE IS
commands. In this mode, text begins at the coordinates you specify
and extends to the right column boundary. Line breaks occur
automatically. Enter text in one continuous string without line breaks.

Example
JUSTIFIED parameters:
TEXT JUSTIFIED AT 1,1
‘This is a sample’
‘of justified text’
‘in block format.’;
‘of justified text’
‘in block format.’;
This produces the following text on the form:
This is a sample
of justified text
in block format.
of justified text
in block format.
You specify IN COLUMN for any alignment mode and use it with the
COLUMN SIZE IS command. Line breaks occur automatically when
you use TEXT ALIGNED IN COLUMN or TEXT JUSTIFIED IN
COLUMN. You can enter a complete paragraph of text in one
continuous string. A quote indicates the end of a paragraph rather than a
line break. The system ignores multiple line breaks. Columns do not
have a fixed location on the page. You place them relative to the TEXT
command you specify. The horizontal coordinate you specify sets the
left column boundary. You set the right column boundary to the sum of
the column width and the left column boundary. You can include a
maximum of 4096 characters in one continuous text string.
