Typing on the Display

Type your text just as you would on a typewriter. The text appears on the screen

instead of being printed on paper.

If you make a mistake, use BACKSPACE or CORRECT to delete. For more details

about corrections, see “Revising Text - Basic Functions" on page 37,

You can print your text after you have created it. See “Printing a Document” on

page 76.

When your text is complete, see “Saving a File" on page 73.

Hot Zone

The last six columns before the right margin are defined as the “hot zone”. The li

symbol on the scale corresponds to the point at which a typewriter bell would ring to

warn you that you are about to run into the right margin. The word processor knows

how to break text so that it automatically “wraps” to the next line.

Word Wrap

The “word wrap” function allows you to type a paragraph continuously without being

concerned about carriage returns. In the hot zone, a word is extending beyond the

right margin will be moved to the next line automatically. You need only to press
RETURN to break a line and start a new paragraph.

The word wrap function is always active on the word processor. This feature permits

continuous

typing and helps build typing speed. The text cursor automatically moves

to the next line whenever a space or hyphen is typed in the hot zone.

Space vs. Permanent Space

Spaces entered by pressing SPACE BAR are word separators called “soff spaces.
When entered in the hot zone, they force the cursor to move to the next line. In justify

mode, the “soft” spaces are adjusted to produce an even right margin. (See
“Automatic Justification” on page 60.)

Permanent spaces entered by pressing CODE + SPACE BAR are special spaces

that link words together, protecting them from being separated on different lines. A

permanent space is displayed with the symbol [i and is considered part of the two

words it links. Such a space is never adjusted by the automatic justification function,

and does not cause the cursor to jump to the next line when entered in the hot zone.
