הju1¢בןDESK TOP PUBLISHINGןב¢¢בWith the 1ST XLEnt WORD PROCESSORב¢¢בA demonstration by RON FETZERב¢בTHE OL' HACKERS ATARI USERS GROUPב¢¢¢ The 1st XLEnt Word Processor is the perfect vehicle for doing desk top publishing. It has a very sophisticated PICTURE FORMATTER and many great features as a word processor.¢¢הep:D1:RON1.DSK¢הps:TURN PAPER BACK TO TOP OF PICTURE¢הLM38¢ As you can see this demonstration shows you that our 8-Bit computer can do all the things that the other more expensive computers can do. I do not think that many wordprocessors regardles of price can do all the things this one can do. The picture is 16 text lines long. Therefore after the picture is printed you put in 17 reverse line feeds to crank the paper back the top of the picture. Since the picture takes up space on the left side of the paper you make the LEFT MARGIN = 38. That leaves you 16 lines of type on your screen to fill in next to the picture.¢הlm10¢ Then you change the left margin setting to 10 again and keep on typing your document.¢ The command needed to load the picture into the word processor is OPTION+F 'ep':D1:PICTURE.NAM then press RETURN.¢ To prepare the picture for insertion into the document you must have a 62 sector picture to begin with. Load the PICTURE FORMATTER into your computer by pressing aר key while the word processor is loading.ר After you have processed the picture make sure you answer 'yes' to PRINT it to the DISK. You will be asked to PRINT TO DISK/PRINTER. Select "D" because the word processor must have the picture formatted on disk the way you selected it. A NORMAL height picture is 16 text lines. A 2 x Height picture is 32 text lines.¢ After the picture is printed you put in 17 reverse line feeds to crank the paper back to the top of the picture. The picture will occupy the first 36 spaces on the left of your document. That is the reason you have to set your left margin to 38 for your text. The left margin of the picture should also be set to 10 so it will match the text. REMEMBER a NORMAL COMPRESSED picture LEFT MARGIN TEXT LINES should be set to 38. You then have 16 SCREEN LINES to type before you can change the LEFT MARGIN back to 10. Here is¢הlm5¢another picture that is NOT COMPRESSED but is NORMAL. ¢¢הep:D1:TRECK1.DSK¢הps:TURN PAPER BACK TO TOP OF PICTURE¢הlm5:rm17¢ This picture is pushed to the right. The left margin of the text is 5 and the right margin of the text is 17. Therefore I cannot write too much text on the right side of the picture.¢הlm5:rm70:cl-1¢ As you can see the text is wrapped around the picture the same way as before. This placement however is more difficult to do.¢ רYou must have a version 2.1 1st EXLent Word Processor.ר Your printer driver on the word processor must have a REVERSE FEED (Usually OPTION+Z). If your wordprocessor does not have a REVERSE LINE FEED CODE then after the picture printing code type OPTION+F'ps:TURN PAPER BACK TO TOP OF PICTURE'. When the picture is finished printing you will get a prompt on the screen to manually turn the paper back to the start of the picture. Press the space bar to continue printing. Your pictures must be MICRO PAINTER 62 Sectors. You must save your completed picture to disk before it can be printed. Make sure your left margin on your picture matches your text margin(usually 10). ¢ PICTURE FORMATTER information. When printing out text you can toggle between opage or transparent by pressing רTABר. You can erase text by toggeling to OPAQUE and then going over the text with the SPACE BAR. Printing can be done in 2 ways. NORMAL means whatever is BLACK on the screen will be WHITE on the paper. INVERSE means whatever is BLACK on the screen will be BLACK on the paper.¢ When you select to put the picture into the center of your document without any text next to it you must increment the line counter. When the program is printing a picture it DOES NOT increment the line counter. Please type after the picture OPTION+F'cl+16' to take care of a normal height picture. If your are going to use a 2 x HEIGHT picture you change the 16 to a 32. This command increments the line counter by either 16 or 32 lines. This will make your page breaks in the right place.¢¢בןHAPPY DESK TOP PUBLISHINGןב¢¢בOL' HACKERS ATARI USERS GROUPב
