Attention! The text in this document has been recognized automatically. To view the original document, you can use the "Original mode".
NOTE:
The scale can be disabled in order to get one additional line of text on the screen.
For details, see the example under the title “Menu” on page 32.
Text Area
The bulk of the screen is your work area, a window into your document. Although it
only
shows a few
lines
of 79
characters at
a
time,
if
your document is longer or wider,
you can move the window up, down, left, and right. The only part you cannot use is
the “dead column” (to the left of column
0
), which the word processor reserves for the
"format change” symbol | . Other symbols appear in the text to remind you of the
format functions that you used, but will not be printed. (For a complete list, see
“Symbols Displayed in the Text” on page 281.)
NOTE:
The text area can be split in order to display two documents simultaneously. For
details, see “Dual Screen” on page 91.
Text and Scale Cursors
A lighted square, the text cursor, indicates your current position in the text area.
Another cursor, the scale cursor, is an underline that indicates your position relative to
the left of the scale and follows horizontal movement of the text cursor.
Message Line
This line is reserved for guide messages (prompts) that ask you a question, give
direction or display error messages that warn you when something is wrong. When
no prompt and no error message are displayed, this line is used for your text.
NOTE:
For a list of error messages, see “Error Messages" on page 286.
