Inserting and editing delay codes

You can insert and edit delay codes. Delay codes allow you to suppress open codes by specifying that the open codes take effect after a specified number of pages. Open codes can include codes for line numbering, fonts, tab settings, and margins. For example, if on page 3 you delay a code by two pages, the code takes effect on page 5.

You can delay any open codes; however, you cannot delay paired codes. Paired codes are codes that have two codes — one at the start of the entry and one at the end of the entry. For example, bold, italics, tables, indent, and alignment codes are paired codes.
