Trim Rectangle Word by Word

This feature enables you to resize the trim rectangle along word boundaries. The Mark Word Left function moves the left side of the rectangle to the front of the previous word in the first line of the rectangle. The Mark Word Right function moves the right side of the rectangle to the front of the next word in the first line of the rectangle.

These functions are available only for single-byte languages. They are not available for Thai, Hindi, double-byte languages, or bidirectional sessions.

You can enable the Trim Rectangle Word by Word functions by adding the following keyword to the PCSWIN.INI file:
