Publisher is designed to provide What You See (on the screen) Is What
You Get printed (WYSIWYG). This means that the computer display should
match as closely as possible, at all times, what you will see on the
final printed page. Of course, the difference between the technology
used to display a page on a CRT screen, and the technologies used
to print a page on a laser printer or typesetter, do create some unavoidable
differences. In particular, because the computer CRT screen cannot
produce anywhere near the same resolution of a printer or typesetter,
and because what is displayed is shown in a different <$IAspect ratio>aspect
ratio (height to width ratio), the space between words and between
lines may appear to be bigger or smaller than the printed page under
certain circumstances. Several thin ruling lines, with little space
between, may show on the screen as one thick line.
@MINOR HEADING = Keyboard Keys
Various keys on the keyboard perform special functions:
@BULLET = The keyboard Cursor <$ICursor keys><$IText editing;Cursor
keys>keys control the Text Cursor (The text cursor is displayed as
a thin vertical line.)
@BULLET = The Home <$IHome key><$IText editing;Home key>key goes to
the first page of the document.
@BULLET = The End <$IEnd key><$IText editing;End key>key goes to the
last page of the document.
@BULLET = The Pg Up <$IPage up key><$IText editing;Page up key>key
goes to the previous page.
@BULLET = The Pg Dn <$IPage down key><$IText editing;Page down key>key
goes to the next page.

@MINOR HEADING = Description
The display shown in Figure 10-2 is called an Item Selector. The
Item Selector is used for saving and retrieving files.
@MINOR HEADING = Application
The Item Selector allows you to save and retrieve files by pointing
to the file name, or by typing the file name.
The Item Selector also provides a simple way to move between various
DOS subdirectories (sometimes called folders) where text, Line Art,
Image, chapter, and publication files may be stored.
Finally, the Item Selector automatically <169>filters<170> the files
displayed so that you need only search for files which match specified
criteria. For instance, only chapter files (which are stored with
a file extension CHP) are displayed when loading or saving chapters. The
method for filtering the files to be displayed follows standard DOS
conventions, including wildcard characters (e.g. * and ?). These
filters can be changed by placing the text cursor on the Directory
line and typing a new filter name. Figure 10-2 shows the filter set
to only display chapter (CHP) files that are contained in the subdirectory
called TYPESET.
@WARNING = <$IShortcut;Mouse double-click><$IMouse;Double- click>Pointing
to the desired file name, holding the mouse stationary, and pressing
the mouse button twice, with little hesitation between each depression
<169>double-click<170>, is equivalent to selecting the file name and
then selecting OK.
If you only need one or two symbols within a paragraph, then Tag the
paragraph with a non-symbol typeface, and select the one or two characters
you wish to change to a symbol, and change them using the Font Settings
button. For instance, to put a <F128M>p<F255D> in the formula
@SYSTEM PROMPT = <F128M>p<F255D>r2
type the letter p, then select this letter and use the Font Settings
button to change this one letter to a symbol font.
