  • It contains the text body that can be used for multiple pages.

  • It allows to fix text elements at the upper and lower margins of the allocated page window.

  • The text in the main window can extend over several pages. If the text fills one page, the output continues in the window of the next and subsequent pages. You can create max 99 MAIN window 00-98.
