When the cursor is placed in the text, the font and style is set to the character to the left of the cursor until you change it using the menus. This frees the text in the statement from any selected fonts and makes the display float. You must make sure that the default font is different from the one you want to set the text to and then set the text to the correct font. Explain Statement formats Each statement carries formatting properties with it. In fancier word processors the properties are represented by a name and the properties described by the name can be changed using a property editor.
Thinker statements carry the properties directly.
As with fonts, there is a default set of properties that are applied to some new statements. If the statement is inserted at a level above or below the target statement, the new statement takes the default properities. The paradigm of text is not linear but of a network of connected nodes.
