Delete
When you no longer need a file, erasing it from the optional RAM cartridge is a
good idea because it will free up more space for other files. Select Delete from
the File Options and it will prompt you with a list of files in the optional RAM cartridge.
Select the file to delete and press the Enter key. A message will appear on the
screen asking you to confirm your selection. Be careful when deleting a file because
whatever you delete will be gone permanently.
Note: If you have purchased our VTECH POWER LINK™, and connect it to the unit correctly,
you may also Save, Load or Delete a file on the connected PC. In the File Options,
select Load. The unit will ask you whether to load a file from RAM Cartridge or
from PC. If you select PC, the files on the PC will be listed. You may then select
a file on the PC to be loaded into the unit’s main memory. The same applies to
the Save and Delete functions. Please refer to Chapter 11 for more details about
our VTECH
POWER LINK™.
EDIT OPTIONS
Most simple editing can be accomplished by using the Backspace, Insertion (INS)
and Deletion (DEL) keys. When you want to change large blocks of text, you need
to do block editing. The EDIT menu is for editing blocks of text. You can find Edit
Options by pressing the HELP key.
Define a Block
The first step in block editing is to define or mark a block of text. There are two
ways to define a block of text. 1) Drag the mouse over the desired text to highlight
it. 2) Place the cursor at the first character of the block you want to edit, then select
Block Begin from the EDIT menu. When the cursor is at the end of the block, select
Block End from the EDIT menu. After a block of text is defined, you can use one
of the four blocking tools: block copy, block cut, paste block or clear block.
Block Begin
This marks the beginning of a block of text.
Block End
This marks the end of a block of text. The text between the Block Begin mark and
the Block End mark will be highlighted, up to 60 characters or one line of printed
text.
Block Copy
After a block of text has been defined, select Block Copy from the EDIT menu. The
original block will remain and you can paste the block in any location in the document.
Block Cut
To cut a block of text, first define the block of text and select Block Cut from the
EDIT menu. The block will be removed from its current position and will be placed
in memory. You can now paste the block in any location in the document.
