Performing a Word Count
Word Fugue comes with a word counting option. Press Ctrl J V, and a
pop up window will appear with information similar to the following:
╔═══ WordFugue Version 1.6a ════╗
║ Current File: ║
║ C:\WF\DOC\WF.010 ║
║ Modified ║
║ 161 Lines ║
║ 5146 Bytes ║

║ DOS Version: 3.30 ║
║ 2854912 Disk bytes free ║

║ C:\WF\DOCS ║
╚═══════════════════════════════╝
Press ESC to return to editing the file. The information is relevant
to the current file, so if you have more than one window open, you
will need to place the cursor in each window and enter the command.
Calculating the file size and word count can take a long time on a big
file, so you can press the space bar while the Get Info window is
being updated to short circuit the calculation of some items.
.Tc Convert a Wordstar file ............................#
Convert a Wordstar file
You can either set an option when you load the file, or use the block
command to turn off Hi order bits in a marked block. They have
slightly different effects.
Options are on the Load file menu of the Options menu
This will zero the High order bits in a Wordstar file. You will of
course lose any wrapped information about lines, since they will all
end in a hard Carriage return. Any control codes will be left
untouched. If you wish to retain the line wrap information, you must
use the marked block approach given below.
To Turn off bits in a marked block:
1. Mark the block of text with Ctl K B and Ctl K K.
2. Press the keys Ctl K ^ (you need shift plus the 6 key for ^)
Word Fugue will turn off the hi bits in the marked block.
For example:
áíóúñѪº¿⌐¬½¼¡«»░▒▓│┤╡╢╖╕╣║╗╝╜╛┐└┴┬├─┼╞╟╚╔╩╦╠═╬╧╨╤╥╘╒╓╫╪┘┌█µτΦΘ
becomes
!"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRTUVWXYZ[fghi
Strip Hi Bits on File Load
This is on the Load file submenu of the Options menu of the pull down
menu. You can install it as a command sequence using WFINST, but the
default is no command sequence. When Hi-bit strip is ON, the most
significant bit of each character read from the disk will be set to
zero. This is useful when reading in files previously generated in
Wordstar document mode. Note that stripping the high bit will also
affect any usage of the IBM extended ASCII character set, such as the
line drawing characters.
.Tc Convert Tab Characters To Spaces on Reading ........#
Convert Tab Characters To Spaces on Reading
This is the Expand tabs option on the Load File submenu of the Load
file menu of the pull down menu. You can install a command sequence
for this command by using WFINST, but the default has no sequence
installed. When tab expansion is ON, any tabs encountered upon read-in
of a file are expanded into spaces, using a tab spacing that you
specify. If tab expansion is OFF, WordFugue leaves the tabs intact. In
this case, WordFugue does not expand tabs as it displays them, so
these will be displayed on the screen as I.
.tc Convert Spaces to Tabs When Writing The File .......#
Convert Spaces to Tabs When Writing The File
This is the Write tabs option on the Load File submenu of the Load
file menu of the pull down menu. You can install a command sequence
for this command by using WFINST, but the default has no sequence
installed. By default, WordFugue does not write tab characters in
files saved from the editor. If Tab Writing is activated, WordFugue
will translate sequences of spaces to tabs in order to save disk space
for the output file. Tabs are computed using the fixed spacing
currently set for fixed tabs. Multiple spaces found within pairs of
single or double quotes (as used in Pascal or C source code) will not
be converted to tabs.
.tc Outline Processing .................................#
Outline Processing
Outline Processing is the ability to jot down your thoughts such as
subject headings, and later flesh them out into a complete document.
You have the ability to view only the headings, or the details, or
both. The details can include other details at lower levels again.
With Word Fugue, this can be achieved by use of .FI and the Alt F
command. Jot down your headings in a file. When you are ready to flesh
them out, place a .FI command in column one on the line beneath each
heading, and type a file name after the .FI command. Use a different
file name on each .FI line.
Place the cursor on a line containing a .FI command, and press Alt F.
WordFugue will open another window with the new file loaded ready for
editing. This file can in turn contain other .FI commands, which can
be loaded in a similar fashion. If you do not have Zoom Windows set,
you will see all files on the screen at the same time. You can nest
include files up to 5 deep, which should give you plenty of scope for
the biggest outlines.
.tc Ruler Lines ........................................#
Ruler Lines
A ruler line is used to determine the documents current left and right
margins, tab stops and column boundaries. The current ruler line is
displayed at the top of the document, unless you turn the display off.
The option to display the ruler line can be changed as part of the
Options menu on the Ruler sub menu, or it can be changed by entering
Ctrl O T, which will turn the display on and off.
WordFugue's default ruler is shown below. It is designed for type at
10 characters per inch on standard 8 inch stationery. The left margin
is in column 1, the right margin in column 70, and tab stops every 8
spaces begining at column 9.
L-------!-------!-------!-------!-------!-------!-------!-------!----R
The ruler line can contain the following characters:
Character Meaning
L Left margin
R Right margin (ragged justification)
J Right margin (justified)
! Tab stop
< Left margin of a column ┌only effective if
> Right Margin of a column ┤word wrap and column
] Justified right column margin └mode are active
Temporary Indent
- Space between ruler symbols
When you change left or right margin using Ctrl O L or Ctrl O R, the
ruler line changes to show a new margin. This ruler is in effect
throughout the document until you change it. If you use .LM and .RM
dot commands to change a margin, the new ruler is in effect in the
file below the dot command. Above the dot command the previous ruler
is in effect.
When you use F4 or Ctrl O G to change temporary indentation, the ruler
line shows the temporary margin as long as it is in effect.
.tc Editing a Ruler .................................#
Editing a Ruler
You can edit the ruler line by entering Ctrl O E. You do not need
to display the ruler line to be able to edit it. While in edit
mode, you move the cursor and type in the appropriate symbols where
you want them. Press Enter to accept the new line, or ESC to return
to the original.
However, if you use dot commands that effect the ruler line in
your document, as soon as you press return, if the cursor were
positioned below any of these dot commands in the document, they
will automatically affect the ruler you have edited. However, this
can be overcome by embedding the ruler line in the text where ever
you need a new ruler line, and editing the embedded line. (See
below)
.tc Embedded Ruler Lines ............................#
Embedded Ruler Lines
You can embed a ruler line in the text so that it is in effect on
the text below it and it is stored with the file. Every time the
cursor moves below an embedded ruler line, the document's margins
and tab stops automatically change to reflect the new line. An
embedded ruler is entered with .RR as the dot command. The ruler
line follows the .RR command.
There are several ways of embedding ruler lines in your document.
■ Type in the entire ruler line. Start by typing .RR in columns
1 to 3. Then, on the same line, type in the ruler itself,
starting with the left margin. Since the first 3 characters
are the dot command, all embedded ruler line character
positions are 3 characters to the right of the actual
position. Thus
.RRL.....! R
where the L is entered in column 4, makes the left margin
effective in column 1, a tab stop effective in column 7, and
the right margin in column 31. The dots between the characters
are simply to show character spacings. Use spaces in the
embedded ruler line.
■ Use the command Ctrl O O to insert a copy of the current ruler
line into your text.
■ Use the ruler file WF.RLR to store often used ruler lines, and
use the macro commands Alt M S to embed the first such line
into the text, and the command Alt M R to display a list of
ruler lines, and select the one you want.
.tc Stored Rulers ...................................#
Stored Rulers
You can store up to 36 ruler settings in the file WF.RLR.
Using a Stored Ruler
There are 2 macro commands provided to access rulers stored in the
ruler file. Because they are macro commands, you can always write
additional commands to load additional rulers from a different file if
you need to go beyond 36 rulers.
Embed Default Stored Ruler
The command Alt M S embeds the default stored ruler before the line
the cursor is in. The default ruler is always number 1 (unless you
change the macro).
Embed Stored Ruler From Menu
The command Alt M R loads the file WF.RLR and displays a menu of
rulers. Select the one you want to embed, and press Enter to embed
it, or ESC if you change your mind. The alternative long format of
the command is Ctrl J I R which loads file WF.RLR and displays the
menu of stored rulers. When you select your ruler to embed, it is
embedded, and the macro file is reloaded.
Storing a Ruler
The ruler file has exactly the same structure as a macro file, and
rulers can be entered by loading it as a macro file, selecting to
record macros, and then typing in the ruler line exactly as you want
it, and then turning off macro recording. You will be asked which slot
to record the ruler in, and a name for it. (Refer to the chapter in
macros for more information) Don't forget to save the ruler file
(using the save macro command), and to re-load your original macro
file.
Editing a Stored Ruler
Once you have stored rulers in the file WF.RLR, you can edit them by
loading the file as the macro file, editing the entries (Alt E), and
saving the file. Don't forget to re-load your original macro file.
