4 Advanced Editing Features
058060 Tandem Computers Incorporated 4–1
Overview In this section you create a document using the memo you wrote in
Section 1 as the rough draft. You use this document (a form letter) to learn
some new, more advanced TEDIT features. You also get more practice
using features you learned in the previous sections. Features discussed in
Section 4 include:
Learning to use windows to have two files open simultaneously and to
move text from one file to another
Creating and saving a special profile
Inserting paragraphs and sentences within existing text
Breaking lines to reformat a paragraph into a list
Changing names and personalizing information in the form letter with
SEARCH and REPLACE
Transferring Text to
the New File
The document you create in this section is a rewrite of the memo you
created in Section 2. To save retyping the rough-draft text for the
document, you can bring the text from the MEMO file into the new file.
You do this by opening a window into the MEMO file and using the COPY
command.
A window is a view of a file. When you have one file open, the window
through which you look at the file takes up the full screen. If you have two
files open, or two windows into the same file, the windows each take up
only a portion of the screen. Once you have two windows open, you can
copy and move text from one window into the other. In the following
pages, you open a new file called LETTER and your previously created
MEMO file simultaneously. Then you copy text from MEMO to LETTER.
