4. ENTERING TEXT
Entering text is as simple as pressing the keys on the keyboard, and
watching the characters appear on the screen.
If Word Wrap is on, the status line will display Wrap, and the text
which projects over the right hand margin will automatically be moved
to the next line.
If AutoIndent is on, the status line will display Indent, and the text
on the new line will line up with the first non blank character on the
line above. Otherwise the text on the new line will start in the left
hand margin.
If Insert is active the status line will display Ins, otherwise it
will display Ovr. When Insert is active, the text to the right of the
cursor will be pushed right. Otherwise the text will be overwritten.
To switch between Insert mode and Overwrite mode press the Insert key.
If Justification is active, the status line will display Just, and
text that is wrapped will be padded with spaces to fit between the
left and right margins so that it lines up on both margins.
.tc Enhancing Text .....................................#
Enhancing Text
Text can be entered so that it prints in a certain font character. The
start and end of font sequences are recorded in the text by control
characters:
^B On & Off - usually bold
^D On & Off - usually double strike
^S On & Off - usually underline
^T On & Off - usually superscript
^V On & Off - usually subscript
^A On & Off - usually compressed
^Y On & Off - usually italics
^C On & Off - USER DEFINED
^E On & Off - USER DEFINED
^F On & Off - USER DEFINED
^G On & Off - USER DEFINED
^N On & Off - USER DEFINED
^P On & Off - USER DEFINED
^Q On & Off - USER DEFINED
^R On & Off - USER DEFINED
^U On & Off - USER DEFINED
^W On & Off - USER DEFINED
^X On & Off - USER DEFINED
You can enter all font characters by pressing Ctrl P and then pressing
the appropriate key for the font as you have installed it in your
printer driver. The values given above are the default values. See the
Chapter on Printing for more on fonts.
Most fonts need to be turned off at the end of the enhanced area. To
do this press Ctrl P and the same key as you used to turn it on.
The default fonts can also be entered by use of Alt keys:
Bold ^B On & Off - Alt B
Double Strike ^D On & Off - Alt D
Underline ^S On & Off - Alt U
Superscript ^T On & Off - Alt T
Subscript ^V On & Off - Alt V
Compressed ^A On & Off - Alt C
Italics ^Y On & Off - Alt I
although all other font characters can only be entered by the first
method.
.tc Entering A Special Character .......................#
Entering A Special Character
Many special characters are available in the various macro files
supplied with Word Fugue.
For example GREEK, EUROPE, DOUBLE & SINGLE for the greek character
set, special European characters, and the Double and single line
drawing characters.
Others can be entered if you know the actual Ascii code for them. Most
can be entered by holding down the Alt key and pressing 3 keys in
sequence on the numeric key pad eg ALT 2 5 4 will produce the
character ■.
Some characters that are used for commands cannot be entered this way,
but must be entered by pressing Ctrl P followed by the key(s) required
to produce the correct value.
Sometimes you wish to overtype two characters to produce a different
character. Whether this works depends on your printer. To do this, you
must separate the two characters by the Backspace character Ctrl H. To
enter this value, you must use the Ctrl P method. For example, you
could print a cent character by overtyping c and │ :
type c Ctrl P H │
On most printers this should produce c with a line through it:
c│
