Page/Para events are conditional events that are used to change page level properties
such as form, paper trays and page definition. Page/Para events are applied to the
entire page, as opposed to local text block events which will only apply to the
particular text block.

It is also important to note that, unlike local text block events, page/para events will
be applied to ALL text blocks on the page. All line references in a page/para event
are relative to each text block, that is Line 6 refers to Line 6 in each text block on
the page.

Similarly, if the test conducted is for a line range, the line range is text block related.
For example, if the first line in the range is Line 6, and the number of lines to be
tested is 3, then the test would apply to Lines 6, 7 and 8 in 

each text block on the

page.

A Page/Para event will make the changes indicated by testing the printstream data
for a particular condition specified by one or two tests.

• 

The test is applied to the whole printstream and causes the appropriate change to
be applied to the current page only.

• 

Page/Para events are applied to the input printstream data before any text
block editing or local text block events are added.

• 

The given condition is applied to all text blocks on the page.
