- Lesson 2
-
- MOVING FORWARD AND BACKWARD
-
-
- Moving the cursor is very important, because all changes you
- make in a document are made at the position of the cursor.
-
-
- Perfect Writer provides a number of versatile and efficient
- commands for moving the cursor. First, there are the the ARROW
- keys at the right of the keyboard, which move the cursor in the
- direction indicated. If held, they will repeat, skipping the
- cursor continuously in any direction. Try this now; use the
- arrow keys to move the cursor around the text of this lesson.
-
-
- Scroll down by selecting:
-
- Escape...Forward...This window
-
- While the arrow keys are often adequate, they sometimes move
- more slowly than we would like. Perfect Writer provides a number
- of other commands for moving the cursor through your document
- more quickly. These commands are available through the Forward
- and Backward submenus. To view these menus, select:
-
- Escape...Forward...Quit...Backward...Escape
-
-
- Two commands that move the cursor forward or backward a WORD
- are:
- Escape...Forward...Word
- Escape...Backward...Word
-
- Practice moving the cursor back and forth across a line
- using these commands.
-
- Two commands that jump the cursor to the beginning or end of
- the current LINE are:
-
- Escape...Forward...Line end
- Escape...Backward...Line begin
-
- If repeated, these commands will continue to move the cursor
- to the ends or beginnings of following or previous lines.
-
-
-
- Two commands that move the cursor to the beginning and
- end of the current SENTENCE are:
-
- Escape...Forward...Sentence
- Escape...Backward...Sentence
-
- Practice jumping the cursor to the end and beginning of
- current sentences. See how simple it is!
-
-
-
-
- Perfect Writer allows you to move your cursor to the
- beginnings and ends of PARAGRAPHS, too, simply by selecting:
-
- Escape...Forward...Paragraph
- Escape...Backward...Paragraph
-
- These commands jump to the first or last character preceding
- or following the line break that separates two paragraphs.
-
- The largest cursor movement is accomplished by:
-
- Escape...Backward...Home To BEGINNING of document
- Escape...Forward...End To END of document
-
- These commands will jump the cursor from anywhere in a
- document to the beginning or end of that document, no matter how
- long the document may be. Practice jumping the cursor back and
- forth to the beginning and end of this lesson (afterwards
- scrolling to this point).
-
-
- This completes the lesson on Moving the Cursor. If you
- would like to proceed to Lesson 3 at this time, select:
-
- Escape...Documents...Read
-
- When Perfect Writer asks "Document to read," type "lesson3,"
- followed by the Return key. Perfect Writer will read Lesson 3
- into memory and switch you to it.
-
- If you do not wish to continue, select:
-
- Escape...Exit PW
-
- IMPORTANT: Perfect Writer may respond: "Document(s) not
- saved! Do you still wish to exit?" Answer `y' for Yes, since you
- do not want to save any modifications you may have made to the
- lesson.
-
- Perfect Writer will return you to the PSI Menu.
