*What were you trying to do?

Use "@style(linewidth 3 inches)" for the text document type

*What's wrong:

It doesn't abide by the value I set for linewidth.


*What should have happened:

It should make the text 3 inches wide.


*Please describe any relevant documentation references:

Scribe manual (4th Edition) --pgs 39,40,220


*Other information:


In the text.mak file, it defines text as:

@Marker(Make,Text,ScaleableLaser)
@LibraryFile(SansSerif)
@Generate(Notes)
@Send(Notes    "@Heading(Notes)")
@Begin(Text,Font BodyFont,FaceCode R,
        LeftMargin 1 inch, RightMargin  1inch, TopMargin 1inch,
        BottomMargin 1inch,Size 10,Spacing 1.4,Spread 1.3,Indent 0)
@PageHeading(Center "@value(page)")


I think the problem is that it's specifying the attributes when it
starts the "@begin(text"


				Thanks!!
