simply press [Cncl] to return to text.)

You follow these steps to make format changes in your document.

* To change the linespacing for your document, press [down arrow] once. Type
  the desired linespacing number. For example, if you want the document to be
  double-spaced, press [2]. The cursor immediately moves back up to the format
  line.

  If you decide not to make any linespacing changes, press any of the arrow
  keys to move the cursor back up to the format line.

* Tabs are indicated by the letter T. If you are satisfied with the tab
  settings, press [ENTER].

* If you want to clear a tab stop, use the [left arrow] or [right arrow] to

   Otherwise, press [Cncl] to return to text.

HIGHLIGHT TEXT

To highlight text, see "Select."

INDENT LEFT AND/OR RIGHT MARGINS

To indent paragraphs on the left and/or right side, see "Indent Text."

INDENT TEXT

The default left margin setting is 10 spaces (one inch). To temporarily indent
text on the left side of your document:

1. Move the cursor to the first position of the first paragraph that you want
   to indent.

2. Press [F1]-[M]. A highlighted M code appears.

3. Type a number to represent the new left margin setting. For example, if you

4. Do not type text until you press [ENTER].

To return to the original left margin setting, press [F1]-[M] again. Then type
the number that represents the original left margin setting. If you were using
the default setting, type 10. Press [ENTER].

The default line width is 65 spaces (6 1/2"). On an 8 1/2" wide page, this
line width, plus the one inch left margin default setting, leaves a one inch
right margin. To temporarily indent text on the right side of you document,
you must shorten the line width to create a larger right margin:

1. Move the cursor to the first position of the first paragraph that you want
   to indent.

2. Press [F1]-[L]. A highlighted L code appears.

3. Type a number to represent the new line width setting. For example, if you
   want to indent text five spaces from the original right margin, type 60.
   However, if text is also indented five spaces at the left margin, you must
   allow for that larger left margin in your line-width calculations and type
   55.

4. Do not type text until you press [ENTER].

To return to the original line width setting, press [F1]-[L] again. Then type
the number that represents the original line width setting. If you were using
the default setting, type 65. Press [ENTER].

INS/OVR

When you create a new document, the WP-2 is in Insert mode. Anything that you
type is inserted at the cursor location. The text moves to the right to
accommodate the insertion.

To switch from Insert to Overtype mode, simply press [F2]-[\]. Now, anything
that you type replaces the characters that you type over.

If you want to return to Insert mode, press [F2]-[\] again. This Ins/Ovr
function allows you to switch between Insert mode and Overtype mode.

You can determine which mode you are in by observing the shape of the cursor.
When the WP-2 is set to Insert mode, the cursor is a full block that is large
enough to cover the entire length of a character. When Overtype mode is
selected, the cursor is half as high and only covers the bottom portion of a
character.

INSERT TEXT

To insert text anywhere in a document, see "Ins/Ovr."

LAYOUT

To set up the page layout for your printed document, use the Layout function.

1. Press [F2]-[4]. The first screen of the Layout menu appears on the screen.

   option that you want to change.

3. Use the [right arrow] or [left arrow] keys to highlight the response you
   want for the selected option. If a particular option requires that you type
   in a number or text, simply type the appropriate response. Press [Enter] to
   return the cursor to its position next to that option.

4. After all options have been changed as desired, press [ENTER] to complete
   the Layout function.

Listed below are the options available in the Layout function menu and what
they mean:

JUSTIFY--Lets you select between a justified right margin (ON) or a raged
right margin (OFF). If you select a justified right margin, the WP-2 inserts
spaces between words to make all full lines of text line up at the right
margin.

AUTO PAGE NUMBERS--Lets you select between automatically adding page numbers
to your printed document (ON) or not (OFF).

STARTING PAGE NUMBER--Lets you specify a page number to use for numbering the
first page of your document or file. For example, if you created a document in
two different files, you would want the first page number of the second file
to follow the last page number of the first file.

HEADER--Lets you specify information, such as a document title, that prints at
the top of every page. In the first line of the Header option, choose the
position where you want the header to print on a page; top, center of the page
(C), top, right corner of the page (R), or top, left corner of the page (L),
or select no header (N) to delete a header.

In the second line of the Header option, type in the text for the header and
press [ENTER].

FOOTER--Lets you specify information, such as a section title, that prints at
the bottom of every page.

NOTE: If you want your footer to be a page number, select ON for the Auto Page
Numbers option instead of specifying footer text.

In the first line of the Footer option, choose the position where you want the
footer to print on a page; bottom center of the page (C), bottom right corner
of the page (R), or bottom left corner of the page (L). To delete a footer,
select (N).

In the second line of the Footer option, type in the text for the footer,
then, press [ENTER].

PAUSE BETWEEN PAGES--Lets the printer pause between pages. If you are not
using continuous form paper, select YES so that you can insert a clean sheet
of paper in the printer after each page prints. By selecting NO, the printer
will continue printing the entire document.

TOP MARGIN IN LINES--Lets you specify the number of blank lines you want at
the top of a page.

BOTTOM MARGIN IN LINES--Lets you specify the number of blank lines you want at
the bottom of a page.

LEFT MARGIN--Lets you specify the number of blank spaces you want at the left
edge of a page.

CHARACTERS PER LINE--Lets you specify the maximum number of characters
(including spaces) you want to print on one line.

For example, if you will be printing on a standard 8 1/2" wide paper in a ten
characters per inch font (such as Courier), the total line length is 85
characters (8 1/2 times 10). If you set a left margin of one inch (10 spaces)
and you want a right margin of one inch (10 spaces), subtract the total of the
left and right margins (20 spaces) from the total line length (85 minus 20). A
difference of 65 spaces (or 6 1/2 inches) is the maximum number of characters
per line does not total more than the width of your paper (total line length).

PAGE LENGTH IN LINES--Lets you specify the maximum number of lines on a page.
For standard 11" long paper contains 66 lines (6 lines per inch).

LEFT MARGIN

To adjust the setting for the left margin of your document, see "Left Margin"
in the "Layout" section.

To temporarily indent text at the left margin, see "Indent Text."

LINE WIDTH

To adjust the setting for the maximum number of characters you want on each
line, see "Characters per line" in the "Layout" section.

When you indent text on the left and/or right side of your document, the line
width must be adjusted accordingly. See "Indent Text."

LINESPACING

To change the linespacing:

1. Move the cursor to the first character of the first paragraph that you want
   to change. Then, press [F1]-[S]. A highlighted S code appears at the cursor
   position.

2. Type the number for the desired linespacing. For example, to doublespace,
   press [2].

3. Press [ENTER].

If you decide not to change the linespacing, simply delete the highlighted S
code that is on the screen.

When you are ready to resume the original linespacing, repeat these steps
again. In Step 2, simply type the number for the original line spacing.

LOAD A USER'S DICTIONARY FILE

If you have saved the user's dictionary file to a diskette or a cassette, use
the Files function to load that data back into the Wordprocessor's memory.

   highlight bar over the name of the user's dictionary you want to load. Then
   press [F1]-[L]. The file is loaded into a special dictionary memory in the
   WP-2 to be accessed by the Spellword and Spelldoc functions.

MOVE TEXT

To move text within your document or to move to another document, see "Cut"
and "Paste."

NEW PAGE

To force the end of a page and begin a new page, press [F1]-[P]. The page
break display appears on the screen and includes the page number of the page
that precedes it. Text typed below this dividing line will be on the next
page.

OVERTYPE TEXT

To type over text, replacing characters as you type, see "Ins/Ovr."

PAGE NUMBERS

To automatically number the pages of your document when it is printed, see
"Auto page numbers" in the "Layout" section.

PAGINATE

To determine how much of your text prints on a page, see the "Layout" section.
The setting for Page length in lines indicates the length of your paper. When
you paginate a document, the WP-2 takes this page length and subtracts the
number of lines specified for the top and bottom margins. The remainder
indicates the number of lines that can print on a page.

To paginate your document, press [F2]-[P]. Page break displays appear on the
screen. Each page break includes the page number of the page that precedes it.
All pages created with the New Page function automatically renumber as needed.

PASTE

If selected text has been stored in the temp.inv file by the Cut or Copy
function (see "Cut" or "Copy"), you can use the Paste function to paste the
text in place within your document or within another document.

1. Use the Cut or Copy function to store selected text.

2. Move the cursor to the position in your document where you want this text
   to appear.

3. Press [F1]-[=] to perform the Paste function. The text is now in place.

If you want to paste the selected text within another document, load that
document. See "Swap the Displayed Document and Existing Document" in the "File
Issues" section. Move the cursor to the position in that document where you
want this text to appear. Press [F1]-[=] to paste the text in place.

NOTE: You can paste the selected text in more than one location because the
text remains in the buffer until you copy another portion of text, or until
you delete the temp.inv file.

REINSERT DELETED TEXT

To reinsert text that you just deleted, see "Cut."

REPLACE

You can replace characters by using standard editing procedures. See
"Ins/Ovr," "Cut,", and "Paste" for other editing methods.

However, if you want the WP-2 to find a certain word or phrase and replace it
with another word or phrase, use the Replace function.

NOTE: If the Replace function finds a text string that has been designated as
boldfaced or underlined text, the replacement text will also be boldfaced or
underlined.

1. Move the cursor to the location where you want the WP-2 to start replacing
   text.

2. Press [F2]-[2]. Two prompts appear at the bottom of the screen.

3. At the prompt String to be found:  type the word, phrase, or sequence of
   characters you want to find and replace, up to 19 characters (including
   spaces).

4. At the prompt String to replace with: type the word, phrase, or sequence of
   characters you want to use as the replacement text, up to 19 characters
   (including spaces).

5. Press [ENTER] to begin the Replace function.

Upper- and lowercase distinctions are sometimes ignored when searching for a
text string. For example, if you search for the word company (typed in all
lowercase letters), the Replace function locates occurrences of COMPANY,
Company, or company. Replacement text, however, appears exactly as you typed
it. On the other hand, if you type the string to be found with initial capital
letters or in all uppercase letters, the WP-2 searches only for exact
duplicates of the string as you typed it.

If the search is successful, the specified text string is highlighted within
the document where it was found. Then the prompt Replace this string? (Yes/No)
appears on the screen. If you want to replace this occurrence of the text
string, press [Y]. If you want to skip to the next occurrence, press [N]. If
you want to replace all occurrences of this text string, press [A]. Or, press
[Cncl] to stop the operation.

If the Replace function can not locate the specified text string, the message
Not found appears at the bottom of the screen. Press [Cncl] to remove this
message from the screen.

RIGHT MARGIN

To adjust the setting for the right margin of your document, see "Characters
per line" in the "Layout" section.

To temporarily indent text at the right margin, see "Indent Text."

RUN ANOTHER APPLICATION

To run another software package contained in an optional ROM (read only
memory) card, use the Run function. Be sure that you have inserted the option
ROM card in the Expansion Card slot located on the left side of the WP-2.

Press [F2]-[7].

NOTE: IC ROM card applications will be fully documented with the individual
applications as they become available.

SAVE THE USER'S DICTIONARY FILE.

For brief information about connecting optional devices, such as a cassette
recorder or a disk drive, see "Adding Options" in the section "A Practical
Guide." To transfer (save) the user's dictionary file to one of the devices
listed in the Files menu:

1. Press [F2]-[=]. The device names appear at the top of the screen.

2. Move the highlight bar over the device name where you want to store the
   user's dictionary.

3. Press [F1]-[W]. The prompt FILE NAME: appears on the screen.

4. Type the filename (a maximum of eight characters) for your user dictionary.
   Press [ENTER] to save the user's dictionary on the selected device.

If you type documents related to a variety of topics, you might want to
prepare more than one user's dictionary. For example, some documents you write
might pertain to business matters, some could be letters to your children, and
others could be science fiction stories that you write for fun. It could be
helpful to have a user's dictionary devoted specifically to each topic. The
you could load the most relevant user's dictionary as your working dictionary
when you work on a particular document. Be sure to give each dictionary you
create an easily recognizable filename to make referencing easier.

To load a user's dictionary from another device, see "Load a User's Dictionary
File."
