About Newton Works and the word processor

Newton Works is an integrated application for the Newton operating system. One of
its applications is a word processor. The word processor can be used to take notes,
write reports, and create other types of text-based documents. The items you create
in the Newton Works word processor are called papers.

To enter text and other characters in a paper, you must type on the Newton Keyboard.

Important

The Newton Works word processor does not recognize handwriting, so

you can’t write information in a paper. You must use the Newton Keyboard to enter
information in the Newton Works word processor.

You can use buttons on the screen to edit and format your papers, find and change
text, and check spelling. Keyboard shortcuts are available to help your work go faster.
Many of these commands and key combinations are the same as those found in word
processing programs on desktop computers.
