Adjusting Line Width as
You Type
You can set TEDIT to adjust the line width as you type. That is, when you
press
RETURN , TEDIT automatically moves any words that are beyond the
line width you specified down to the next line. The cursor moves along
with the words. This feature is called auto word wrap.
The following examples illustrate how TEDIT adjusts line width when auto
word wrap is in effect. Assume you are typing the sentence shown in the
next example and you have the align width set to 50. If you have auto word
wrap set to ON, when you press
RETURN at the end of the line, all the text
that falls to the right of 50 columns (and the cursor) move down to the next
line as shown. (If you have auto word wrap set to OFF, only the cursor
moves to the next line; the text stays exactly where you typed it.)

Setting up auto word wrap involves making changes on both the
RECONFIGURE OPTIONS screen and the RECONFIGURE FUNCTION-
KEYS screen. You already made the change to the RECONFIGURE
OPTIONS screen. Here are the steps to set up the RECONFIGURE
FUNCTION-KEYS screen for auto word wrap.
1. Make sure that you have set both the auto word wrap and RETURN
function settings on the RECONFIGURE OPTIONS screen to ON. See
the previous discussion.
