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 ISACKSI^i or la^TOECrl to delete. For more details
about corrections, see “Revising Text - Basic Functions” on page 29.
You can print your text after you have created it. See “Printing a Document” on
page 65.
When your text is complete, see “Saving a File” on page 61.
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 proces­
sor 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 carrier returns. In the hot zone, when a word is going to
extend beyond the right margin, the word and the cursor will be moved to the next
line automatically. You need only to press [ return I to break a line and start a new
paragraph.
The word wrap function is always active on the word processor. This feature per­
mits continuous typing and helps build typing speed. The text cursor automati­
cally moves to the next line whenever a space or hyphen is typed in the hot zone.
Space vs. Permanent Space

(SPACE BAR)
Spaces entered by pressing ((SPACEBAR)! are word separators called “soft”
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 mar­
gin. (See “Automatic Justification” on page 50.)
Permanent spaces entered by pressing ICOPEl + [(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 j;j 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.
