That DOES NOT mean it is 'free' software -- it DOES mean that you may use it at no charge for a reasonable period of time before paying for it. This method of distribution gives you, the user, the opportunity to try WordMaster on your computer, in your environment, working on your own problems so that you can fairly evaluate whether it meets your word-processing needs. If it turns out the program does not meet your needs you have not lost hundreds of dollars, as can happen with 'commercial' software. But if WordMaster DOES meet your word-processing needs, you have an obligation to register the program. That is why shareware is also called user-supported software. Software programmers invest long hours in developing their software and depend on the people who use that software to pay the rent, keep the utilites on and buy the things being sold by YOUR company. It is a system based on trust -- we distribute the software out to the public and trust that those who benefit from using it will pay for it. So if after a reasonable trial period of 30 days you are still using WordMaster on a regular basis, print out the REGISTER file or use the form at the end of this document to legitimize continued use. The registration fee licenses the use of one copy of the program on one computer at one time. The common analogy is to that of a book: the software may be used by any number of people and may be moved from one computer location to another, so long as there is no possibility of it being used at one location while it's being used at another; just as a book cannot be read by two different people in two different places at the same time. Commercial users that can not meet the above test must apply for a site license as outlined at the end of the documentation. Failure to do so constitutes violation of the copyright laws. Registered users will receive the most recent version of the program and be notified of future updates, which will be provided to users at a nominal charge. * * * * * * * Price is subject to change without notice but is guaranteed through December 1991. Payment must be made in US funds drawn on a US bank. Processing checks drawn on foreign banks frequently costs almost as much as the registration fee and will not be accepted. Users outside North America should refer to the registration information at the end of the documentation. -------------------------------------------------------------------- ASSOCIATION OF SHAREWARE PROFESSIONALS -------------------------------------------------------------------- _______ ____|__ | (R) --| | |-------------------- | ____|__ | Association of | | |_| Shareware |__| o | Professionals ---------| | |------------------ |___|___| MEMBER This program is produced by a member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP).

"Neither MasterWorks nor the author shall be liable for any loss or damages, whether real or imagined, that might result from the use of this program. "The liability of MasterWorks and the author is limited to replacing defective disks or corrupted program files." -------------------------------------------------------------------- SHAREWARE - DISTRIBUTION -------------------------------------------------------------------- Individuals are encouraged to copy the shareware version of this program to give to friends, post on BBSs, etc. It is important that you include ALL WordMaster files so the program functions properly and anyone receiving such a copy is able to evaluate WordMaster fairly. Distribution of registered copies of WordMaster is a violation of copyright laws. Commercial distributors may distribute WordMaster providing they charge a REASONABLE fee per disk for the program files, include ALL the shareware files on the disk and plainly state in their catalogs and advertising that they are distributing shareware programs that users are expected to pay for. Such distributors should contact MasterWorks to be sure they have the lastest version available. * * * WordMaster is also available with standard UK English spelling rather than American English. A German language version is now available and other language versions will be made available as possible. * * * Thank you for using and supporting shareware software. |pa -------------------------------------------------------------------- Creating Your Work Environment -------------------------------------------------------------------- Before you begin serious wordprocessing with WordMaster, you should take a few minutes to establish various defaults to make your work as easy as possible. First, you MUST set your Home Directory so that WordMaster can find the files it needs to operate properly -- the help file (WM.HLP), the printer file (*.PDF) and the default macro file (WM.MAC) -- from any directory you are working in. Do this with the <Ctrl-S><Ctrl-S> command or <F1, O, P, H>. You will see a prompt window displaying the current directory (unless the Home Directory has already been set). If you are already in the directory where your WordMaster files are stored, simply press <Enter>. Otherwise, enter the correct directory, such as C:\WP, and <Enter>. You will also want to check the color settings -- even if you are working with a monochrome monitor. These settings determine the appearance of marked blocks, fonts and various aspects of the display. The default settings are fine for most monitors, but there are always exceptions. Use the <Ctrl-S><Ctrl-C> command or the menu access <F1, O, C>. You need only establish basic functionality of the settings for now. Later you might want to experiment with various settings to achieve the visual mix that suits you best. Another thing you may want to check are the default margins. The program comes with the left margin set at 8 and the right margin at 75. These margins are fine for most purposes but can be changed -- either temporarily or permanently -- to whatever suits you best. Another important setting is the printer definition file that is the 'translator' WordMaster uses to talk to your printer. The default printer file is EPSON-FX.PDF and that will work with most printers. Use the <Shift-F9> command or <F1, F, P> to bring up the print menu to establish that it is loaded and appears on the 'Which printer' line. Later on, if experience suggests a different .PDF file is needed refer to the section on printing, page 15. Once this is all done use the <Ctrl-S><Ctrl-D> command or <F1, O, S> to make these defaults permanent. Now, whenever you start a work session with WordMaster all these things will be set. Of course you can change these settings temporarily for a particular purpose without affecting the permanent defaults you have just set unless you save them with the <Ctrl-S><Ctrl-D> command. The time spent setting up your working environment is time well spent. It will help you become familiar with the program. And it will save you time and aggravation later on. Please do it! -------------------------------------------------------------------- GETTING STARTED -------------------------------------------------------------------- WordMaster is an extremely easy wordprocessor/editor to learn to use. There is a built-in menuing system that is designed to perform virtually all of the basic editing commands while providing visual cues and a fairly complete help system to guide the user toward full utilization of the program's potential. In the upper right corner of the WordMaster screen is displayed <F1> for menus. So press <F1>. You will see a menu across the top of the screen that gives you the following options: File Text Print Window Block Goto Search Macros Options Help You can access most of the command structure of WordMaster from this menu by pressing the highlighted first letter of that area. You can now execute any of the listed commands by pressing the highlighted letter of the command or by moving the lightbar to the command and pressing <Enter>. If you have one set of commands displayed and wish to move to another you can use the <left/right> arrow keys to move between command lists so long as only the first level of commands is displayed. For example, if you have the Window command list displayed, with its choices of Open, Close Previous, Next, Resize, Zoom, and you want the Block commands, simply press the <right arrow> to move to the list of block commands. New users will find all the basic commands for loading a file and then saving it and exiting from WordMaster under the File heading. Here is an example of using this method of executing commands: Upon loading WordMaster, you will be presented with a blank screen with the name "New File" at the left side of the top border. If you want to create a new document you can begin entering it immediately. At any point you can give it a name by pressing <F1> and pressing F for the File option (or if you are already at the File option, simply press <Enter>. Then press N (for Name) or move the lightbar down to "Name current file" and press <Enter>. If instead of creating a new file you wish to edit an existing file, choose the File option and enter O for Open or move to the Open option and press <Enter>. You will then be presented with a prompt box displaying *.* for the current directory. If the desired file is in the current directory, simply press <Enter>; otherwise, enter the correct path then press <Enter>. You will be presented with a list of all the files in the directory selected. Move to the desired file and press <Enter>. (Hint: if the directory is long, you can move more quickly by entering the first letter of the desired file and you will be taken to the closest file beginning with that letter.) When you have finished creating or editing your file you can switch to another file by choosing the File option, then pressing G for "Go to new file" or moving to the "Go to new file" option and pressing <Enter>. You will be prompted to save the file if that has not been done. You will then be given the same prompt for path. When you have finished your WordMaster session, you can exit in two ways. With the File menu you can choose either Exit/save or Abandon file/leave WM. With the Exit/save option the file will be saved and you will then exit the program. With the Abandon option you will exit the program immediately without saving any changes made to the file. NOTE: As a safety measure, the Abandon option can not be accessed by pressing a single letter like other commands; you must move to it with the cursor arrows. There is, of course a much faster way of accomplishing all this by learning the function key and control key commands in the WordMaster command structure. Anyone who intends to use WordMaster to any significant extent is encouraged to learn this. * * * -------------------------------------------------------------------- ON-LINE HELP -------------------------------------------------------------------- <F1> Activate Menus, Help ------- <Alt-F1> Command Summary Help F1,H,H -------------------------------------------------------------------- The <F1> menus can also be used to access the help system. For example, in the above procedure you might have wanted to know what the Save changes/backup command would do. In order to find out, simply move the light bar to the command and press <F1> and you will be presented with a short summary of the effects of the command. Remember to use the lightbar to access the command, as using the first letter will execute the command. Note that when you were using the <F1> menus to perform commands that in most cases the menus disappeared when the command was executed. When using them for help, however, you must press <Esc> to exit each level of the help menus. Using the <Esc> command also allows you to back out of virtually any command if you change your mind about wanting to execute it. Help is also available in the form of a "Command Summary" with the <Alt-F1> command. You will be presented with a list of topics that can be accessed by moving to the desired item and pressing <Enter>. * * * Information on registration and user support is to be found under the Help option on the <F1> menus. -------------------------------------------------------------------- The Keyboard Command Structure -------------------------------------------------------------------- This first section of commands deals with the various ways of moving the cursor through the text. It's probably unnecessary to mention the four basic cursor arrow keys -- left, right, up, down -- or PgUp and PgDn; they work just as expected. To move the cursor one word at a time use <Ctrl-Left> and <Ctrl-Right>. To move to the end of the line, use <End>. To move to the beginning of the current line use <Home><Left>. To move the cursor to the top or bottom of the page without scrolling the text, use <Home><Up> and <Home><Down>. The cursor can be moved through text to the beginning of the last sentence or the next sentence by using <Alt-L> and <Alt-N>. <Alt-W> and <Alt-Z> will scroll the text on the screen one line at a time without moving the cursor position unless the cursor position is scrolled off the screen, which will cause the cursor to stay at the top or bottom line of the screen. Holding the keys down will cause continuous scrolling. The commands <Ctrl-PgUp> and <Ctrl-PgDn> will take you to the beginning or end of the document. The following table is in the format that will be used throughout this documentation: -------------------------------------------------------------------- Command name location on Alt- or Ctrl- Function key the F1 menus key command command, if any -------------------------------------------------------------------- Character left ------- <Left Arrow> Character right ------- <Right Arrow> Word left ------- <Ctrl-Left Arrow> Word right ------- <Ctrl-Right Arrow> Cursor to left side ------- <Home><Left Arrow> Cursor to right side ------- <End> Line up ------- <Up> Line down ------- <Dn> Top of screen ------- <Home><Up> Bottom of screen ------- <Home><Dn> Page up ------- <PgUp> Page down ------- <PgDn> Scroll up ------- <Alt-W> Scroll down ------- <Alt-Z> Last sentence F1,G,V <Alt-L> Next sentence F1,G,X <Alt-N> Top of file F1,G,T <Ctrl-PgUp> Bottom of file F1,G,B <Ctrl-PgDn> -------------------------------------------------------------------- QUICK MOVEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------- Go to column # F1,G,C <Ctrl-G><Ctrl-C> Go to line # F1,G,L <Ctrl-G><Ctrl-L> Go to page # F1,G,P <Ctrl-G><Ctrl-P> Go to window # F1,G,W <Ctrl-G><Ctrl-W> Previous cursor position F1,G,R <Ctrl-G><Ctrl-R> Go to start of block F1,G,S <Ctrl-G><Ctrl-S> Go to end of block F1,G,E <Ctrl-G><Ctrl-E> Up to equal indent F1,G,U <Ctrl-D><Ctrl-U> Down to equal indent F1,G,D <Ctrl-D><Ctrl-D> -------------------------------------------------------------------- Go to Column. Moves the cursor to the designated column on the current line. Go to Line. Goes to the designated line in the document. Especially useful when working with pagination toggled OFF, though the program keeps track of lines even when in normal pagination mode. This is useful to programmers who generally eschew pagination and keep track of code location by line number. Go to Page. Goes to first line of indicated page. Useful for moving quickly through longer documents. Go to Window. Makes designated window the active window. Go to Previous Cursor Position. Returns cursor to position it occupied prior to last movement. While editing you might need to view something using one of the Quick Movement commands; this command would return the cursor to your previous position. Go to start/end of Block. When working with very large blocks it is sometimes helpful to be able to move quickly to the start or end of the block. Up/Down to Equal Indent. When you are working with Indent turned on it is useful to be able to move easily from one indented line to another. These commands will move you up or down to the next line with equal indentation. Even when you are not using Indent, the commands can be a time-saver in moving from anywhere on the current line to the beginning of the next line up or down. -------------------------------------------------------------------- INSERT/TYPEOVER MODES -------------------------------------------------------------------- Toggle insert mode F1,O,O,I <Ins> -------------------------------------------------------------------- The Insert Key toggles between Insert and Typeover modes. The default is Insert. -------------------------------------------------------------------- DELETE/UNDELETE COMMANDS -------------------------------------------------------------------- Delete character ------- [DEL key] Delete left character ------- <Ctrl-H> [Backspace Key] Delete line right ------- <Ctrl-End> Delete line ------- <Ctrl-Y> Delete word right ------- <Alt-Y> Undo ^Y deletion F1,T,U <Ctrl-Q> Restore current line F1,T,R <Alt-Q> F2 Insert undo buffer F1,O,U,I <Ctrl-U><Ctrl-I> Flush undo buffer F1,O,U,F <Ctrl-U><Ctrl-F> Set undo limit F1,O,U,S <Ctrl-U><Ctrl-S> -------------------------------------------------------------------- The <Del> key deletes the character the cursor is on. The <Bksp> key deletes the character to the left of the cursor. <Ctrl-End> will delete everything on the line to the right of the cursor. <Ctrl-Y> deletes the entire line on which the cursor is placed. A blank line of text can be deleted by using <Ctrl-Y> or by placing the cursor on the first column of the line and pressing <BackSp>. <Alt-Y> deletes the word, or part thereof, to the right of the cursor. Undo ^Y deletion. Restores lines deleted with the <Ctrl-Y> command. Restore line to status upon entry. Useful when editing a document to undo changes; e.g., accidental deletions with the <Ctrl-End> command. Insert the contents of the undo buffer at the cursor location. Flush the contents of the undo buffer. Set Undo Limit. Allows setting a new undo limit. The default is 20 lines. -------------------------------------------------------------------- FORMAT PARAGRAPH -------------------------------------------------------------------- Reformat paragraph F1,T,F <Ctrl-O> F3 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Reformat Paragraph. This command reformats from the cursor position forward to the end of the paragraph. -------------------------------------------------------------------- LINE COMMANDS -------------------------------------------------------------------- Center Line F1,T,C <Ctrl-E> Insert line ------- <Ctrl-L> New line ------- <Ctrl-M> [Enter Key] -------------------------------------------------------------------- To center a line between the set margins, press <Ctrl-E> while anywhere on that line -- or use the <F1, Text> Option. Lines can be inserted into the text in two different ways, <Ctrl-M> and <Ctrl-L>. There is a reason for having two commands. <Ctrl-M> is the command that is given when you press the <Enter> [or <Return>] key. But if you are in typeover mode rather than the default insert mode, this will not insert a new line into the text. Therefore the <Ctrl-L> command is available. Also, the <Ctrl-L> command inserts a line without moving the cursor. -------------------------------------------------------------------- UPPER/LOWER CASE TOGGLES -------------------------------------------------------------------- Toggle case F1,T,A <Alt-A> Lower case F1,T,O <Alt-O> Upper case F1,T,P <Alt-P> -------------------------------------------------------------------- Toggle Case. Toggles character at cursor between upper and lower case. Toggles an entire marked block if cursor is in the block. <Alt-O> -- Change the letter at the cursor position to lower case. <Alt-P> -- Change the letter at the cursor position to upper case. <Alt-O> and <Alt-P> can be useful when a great deal of text needs to be changed to all upper or lower case. Block the text and the <Alt- > commands will then change the entire block. -------------------------------------------------------------------- ABORT COMMAND -------------------------------------------------------------------- Abort command ------- <Ctrl-A> -------------------------------------------------------------------- In most instances in WordMaster the <Esc> will cause you to "back out" of wherever you are. But you might give a command that cannot by stopped by <Esc> -- <Ctrl-A> should get you out of most such situations. -------------------------------------------------------------------- DEFAULT SETTINGS -------------------------------------------------------------------- <Ctrl-S><Ctrl-S> Set support path F1,O,P,S <Ctrl-S><Ctrl-C> Set colors F1,O,C <Ctrl-S><Ctrl-E> Set default extension F1,O,P,D <Ctrl-S><Ctrl-P> Set page length F1,O,L <Ctrl-S><Ctrl-D> Save defaults F1,O,S -------------------------------------------------------------------- Set Support Path. Tells the program where its files are located. It is very important to set this to the directory where your WordMaster files are located so that you can use WordMaster from any directory and the program will know where to find the Help file, .PDF files, etc. Set Colors. If you have a color monitor, this command will allow you to change the colors. With a monochrome system you can reset the highlighting that shows various fonts. Set default extension. This command allows you to set a default extension to all files without one. It can also shorten the process of naming files if they all are going to have the same extension. Set Page Length. Allows changing page length from the default of 66 lines to enable printing on non-standard papers. Save defaults. This command allows the user to change some default settings. For example, if you should prefer to work in typeover mode then use this command while in typeover mode and the default will be changed. -------------------------------------------------------------------- DOS-RELATED COMMANDS -------------------------------------------------------------------- Shell to DOS F1,G,S <Ctrl-D><Ctrl-S> Ctrl-F1 Show system info F1,O,P,P <Ctrl-S><Ctrl-I> Show available RAM F1,O,P,A <Ctrl-S><Ctrl-R> -------------------------------------------------------------------- Go to DOS Shell. This command opens up a window to the DOS command line so that you can execute any program or command without leaving WordMaster -- provided there is sufficient RAM. System Information. Displays information about the current file as well as the operating system. Shows available RAM. -------------------------------------------------------------------- FILE COMMANDS -------------------------------------------------------------------- Open a file F1,F,O <Ctrl-F><Ctrl-O> F10 Name file F1,F,N <Ctrl-F><Ctrl-N> Alt-F10 File directory F1,H,D <Ctrl-F><Ctrl-D> Ctrl-F10 Log new directory F1,G,N <Ctrl-D><Ctrl-N> Shift-F1 Save and continue edit F1,F,S <Ctrl-F><Ctrl-V> F9 Save and exit to DOS F1,F,E <Ctrl-F><Ctrl-X> Alt-F9 Abandon file F1,F... <Alt-X> Save/switch files F1,F,G <Ctrl-F><Ctrl-W> Shift-F10 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Open a File. This is the command that you will use when you wish to begin editing an existing file. You will be prompted for the directory in which the desired file is to be found. If you are already in the correct directory, simply press <Enter> and you will be shown the contents of the current directory. This command can be used to begin a new file in exactly the same way as is explained under 'Switch Files' by entering the name of the new file at the prompt. If you <Esc> out of this command you will be taken back to the previous file. Name a File. The most frequent use for this command is to give a new file a name. It is possible to overwrite an existing file -- but you are prompted and asked if you want to overwrite the file. File Directory. Gives you a directory listing of the current logged directory or any other. To see the current directory, simply press <Enter> when prompted for a Directory Mask. If you want to see if a certain file is in a directory called DATA, simply type \DATA at the prompt and <Enter>. You can also use wildcards to view only certain classes of files. If you want to see only the .BAT files on your root directory, type \*.BAT at the prompt. <Esc> to exit. Change Directory. This gives one the option of changing to a desired directory or subdirectory. Save File and Continue to Edit. Pressing this key periodically as you work guarantees that in the event of some sort of major disaster all your work will not be lost. A word to the wise! Save the File and Exit. This is the "normal" way to exit the program when you are working on material that you want to save. Abandon the File and Exit. There are at least two cases in which you might want to exit without saving the file. It could be that you just do not want to save whatever you have been doing. The other possibility is a scenario like the following: You have loaded a file that you wish to edit. In the course of editing you accidentally delete a very large block of material. If you exit without saving -- <Alt-X> or F1, F, Abandon -- the changes you made to the file will not be saved and the file will still be intact in its original form. You can then restart WordMaster, load the file, and begin the editing process with the deleted material intact. Situations like this can occur to anyone at any time and is the reason experienced computer users save their work often. If in the above situation you had saved the file <F9> five or ten minutes prior to the accidental deletion you could exit without saving, reload the file and only have lost the five or ten minutes worth of editing rather than valuable data. Save File, Switch to New File. This command is used when you've finished work on one file and want to edit another. You can also use this command to begin a new file after editing. Simply enter that file name at the prompt and the new file will be opened. -------------------------------------------------------------------- MARGINS -------------------------------------------------------------------- Set bottom margin F1,O,M,B <Ctrl-R><Ctrl-B> Temp margin to cursor F1,T,T <Ctrl-R><Ctrl-C> Alt-F3 Set left margin F1,O,M,L <Ctrl-R><Ctrl-L> Shift-F3 Set temp margin ------- <Ctrl-R><Ctrl-P> Set right margin F1,O,M,R <Ctrl-R><Ctrl-R> Ctrl-F3 Set top margin F1,O,M,T <Ctrl-R><Ctrl-T> Margin Release F1,T,M <Alt-M> -------------------------------------------------------------------- Reset Bottom Margin. The default is 7 lines. Set temporary margin at cursor. This is a more useful command than might seem apparent. For example, as I am writing this the text is automatically wrapping between the default margins. In order to indent this paragraph when I'm finished I can go to the beginning of the second line, indent the text, press <Alt-F3> to set the temporary margin, then press the following command, <F3>, to reformat at the indented margin. Set left margin. The default setting is 8. Which is about what most users will want. It can be permanently changed with this command and the Save Defaults command. It is useful to be able to change the left margin temporarily for special needs. Sets a temporary margin. When both Word Wrap and Fixed Tabs are in effect (those are the default settings) this command will reset the left margin by one tab setting. Giving the command twice will reset by two tab settings, etc. Moving the cursor to column 1 cancels the temporary margins. Set right margin. The default setting is 75. If the right margin is set beyond about 80 it will cause most printers to print anything beyond that point as a separate line, though it will not be registered as such inside WordMaster and really mess up page-breaks. Reset Top Margin. The default is 4 lines. <Alt-M> -- Releases the current line's margins. This allows you to enter text outside the set margins. The command is useful for placing Printing Format commands in column 1. -------------------------------------------------------------------- TABS -------------------------------------------------------------------- Tab ------- <Ctrl-I> [Tab Key] Show tab line F1,O,T,D <Ctrl-V><Ctrl-T> Edit tab line F1,O,T,E <Ctrl-V><Ctrl-E> Restore Default Tabs F1,O,T,R <Ctrl-V><Ctrl-D> Toggle fixed tabs F1,O,T,F <Ctrl-V><Ctrl-F> Set tab line F1,O,T,T <Ctrl-V><Ctrl-L> Save/display tab line F1,O,T,P <Ctrl-V><Ctrl-V> Set tab size F1,O,T,S <Ctrl-V><Ctrl-Z> -------------------------------------------------------------------- The <TAB> key moves the cursor to the next Tab setting. The default Tabs are set at every five spaces, so the cursor would advance from column 1 to column 6 to column 11, and so forth across the page. Using <Shift-Tab> causes the cursor to move backwards. Toggle tab line display. The default is OFF. Edit the position of tabs on the tab line. Restore default tabs. Toggle between normal fixed tabs and 'smart' tabs. Set Tab Line. This is a strange command. It resets the tab line so that there is a tab placed at the beginning of every word in the line where the cursor is located. If the line is blank, all tabs will be removed. It can be useful for column work. Save Tab Line. If you want a record of your tab settings for a certain file, this will place it on the line where the cursor is located. It is preceded by the (|) command so that it is not printed. Each tab is indicated by a T, the left and right margins by L and R. Set Tab Size. This allows you to change the default setting of tabs every 5 spaces. -------------------------------------------------------------------- WINDOWS -------------------------------------------------------------------- Open window F1,W,O <Ctrl-W><Ctrl-A> F8 Close window F1,W,C <Ctrl-W><Ctrl-C> Ctrl-F8 Next window F1,W,N <Ctrl-W><Ctrl-N> Alt-F8 Previous window F1,W,P <Ctrl-W><Ctrl-P> Shift-F8 Resize current window F1,W,R <Ctrl-W><Ctrl-R> Zoom current window F1,W,Z <Ctrl-Z> -------------------------------------------------------------------- Windows allow you to accomplish with ease tasks that would be excruciating without them. Some examples are included in the section on applications. Open a New Window. Another window will be opened and you will be prompted for the directory from which to select a file to put in the window. You can, of course, give it the name of a new file, if you choose. There is a theoretical limit of 24 windows but a practical limit of about a dozen, depending on the amount of RAM free, etc. Close a Window. The file being edited will be saved and the window closed. If you have only one window open the command will be ignored as you can not have zero windows. Go to Next Window. The "next" window is the next one down the screen. If you're in the bottom window, the next one is the top screen. Like the above command, this will work as a toggle if only two windows are open. Go to Previous Window. This moves you 'up' the screen to the previous window. If you are in the top window this will rotate down to the lowest window. If you have only two windows open, this works like a toggle between them. Resize Current Window. There are times when it is convenient to have one window only three or four lines high and the other much larger. Use arrow keys, <Enter> when done. Zoom Window. This command zooms the current window to fill the screen. It works as a toggle -- doing it a second time "un-zooms" the window. A valuable feature when editing in several windows simultaneously. -------------------------------------------------------------------- BLOCK COMMANDS -------------------------------------------------------------------- Start block F1,B,S <Ctrl-B><Ctrl-S> Ctrl-F6 End block F1,B,E <Ctrl-B><Ctrl-E> F6 Copy block F1,B,C <Ctrl-B><Ctrl-C> Alt-F6 Move block F1,B,M <Ctrl-B><Ctrl-M> Shift-F6 Delete block F1,B,D <Ctrl-B><Ctrl-D> Ctrl-F5 Read file as block F1,B,I <Ctrl-B><Ctrl-R> Shift-F5 Write block to file F1,B,W <Ctrl-B><Ctrl-W> Alt-F5 Block current word F1,B,B <Ctrl-B><Ctrl-U> F5 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Start Block. Marks where the block is to start. End Block. Marks the end of the block. Copy Block. Copies a marked block to cursor. Move Block. Moves a marked block to cursor. Delete Block. Deletes a block that has been marked. Reads in a file at cursor position. You are prompted for the file name. Writes a marked block to a file. You are prompted for a file name. Marks the word at cursor location as a block. This is useful for changing the font characterics of a word while editing. Related Goto commands: Go to end of block F1,G,E <Ctrl-G><Ctrl-E> Go to start of block F1,G,S <Ctrl-G><Ctrl-S> NOTE: To unmark a block after moving or copying it, give the <F6> 'block end' command at the beginning of the block, where the cursor should be located following the move or copy. There is more about using blocks in the Application Hints beginning on p. 26. -------------------------------------------------------------------- SEARCH COMMANDS -------------------------------------------------------------------- Search for string F1,S,S <Ctrl-N><Ctrl-S> Alt-F4 Find next... F1,S,N <Ctrl-N><Ctrl-N> F4 Search/replace F1,S,R <Ctrl-N><Ctrl-R> Ctrl-F4 Search/use macro F1,S,M <Ctrl-N><Ctrl-M> Shift-F4 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Search for string. Searches for a 'string' -- any sequence of letters and numbers, not necessarily a complete word and not limited to a single word -- entered at the prompt. The following options are available: U - ignores case in the search B - searches backward from the present cursor position to the beginning of the file. G - searches globally. The entire file is searched starting at the beginning of the file unless the 'B'option is also chosen. W - searches for whole words only. Matching patterns embedded in other words will be skipped. L - Searches only within a marked block. n - search for nth occurrence of string where n is an integer Find Next. Repeats actions set up for any of the search commands. Search and Replace. Searches for a string and will replace it with another. You are presented with a series of options: UBGWLN. U - ignores case in the search, treating all alphabetic characters as uppercase. B - searches backward from the present cursor position to the beginning of the file. G - searches globally. The entire file is searched starting at the beginning of the file unless the 'B' option is also chosen. W - searches for whole words only. Matching patterns embedded in other words will be skipped. L - Searches only within a marked block. N - Will replace without asking for confirmation. Entering <Ctrl-C>M<Ctrl-C>J will search for the end of a text line as part of the search sequence. If the N option is not specified, a prompt will occur each time the search pattern is found. This prompt will provide the following options: Replace? (Y/N/A/Q): Y - replace this text and continue searching. N - do Not replace, but continue searching. A - replace this text and replace All others without prompting. Q - do not replace, and Quit searching. Search and Use Macro. Similar to the Search and Replace. You are prompted for a string to search for, the macro will be applied when it is found. You are prompted for the same search options. -------------------------------------------------------------------- MACROS -------------------------------------------------------------------- Macro Menu F1,M,U <Ctrl-K><Ctrl-M> F7 Edit macros F1,M,E <Ctrl-K><Ctrl-E> Alt-F7 Save macros to file F1,M,S <Ctrl-K><Ctrl-S> Shift-F7 Load macro file F1,M,L <Ctrl-K><Ctrl-L> Ctrl-F7 Macro record F1,M,R <Ctrl-K><Ctrl-R> -------------------------------------------------------------------- A macro generally consists of a series of actions that are performed often enough that it is convenient to reduce the activity to a few keystrokes. An example is given in the chapter Application Hints. Use Macros by Menu. You are presented with a menu of macros 0 - 9 that can be entered at present location. <Alt-1> through <Alt-9> plays back macros assigned to those numbers without using the menu. Macro #0 is a special macro that is discussed below. Edit a Macro. With this command you can edit an existing macro or create a new one. Save macros to a file. This means you don't have to re-create the macros each time you load WordMaster. Load a macro file. The default file is WM.MAC, but any number of .MAC files could be created. Each one holds 10 macros. Macro Record. When the macro record toggle is turned on the program begins to remember everything you enter until you toggle it off. At that point you will be presented with a menu of macros, giving you the option of saving everything you've entered as a macro. This is sometimes the easiest way to write complex macros. The Zero macro CAN be created like any other macro with the <Alt-F7> 'Edit Macro' command, but it is specifically where 'Macro Record' macros are recorded automatically -- even if you assign them to a different macro. So, permanent macros should not be put here! These commands play back Macro 0 the designated number of times. <Ctrl-P>0 -- You are prompted for number of playbacks. <Ctrl-P>1 -- Playback macro 1 time. <Ctrl-P>2 -- Playback macro 2 times. <Ctrl-P>3 -- Playback macro 3 times. <Ctrl-P>4 -- Playback macro 4 times. <Ctrl-P>5 -- Playback macro 5 times. <Ctrl-P>6 -- Playback macro 6 times. <Ctrl-P>7 -- Playback macro 7 times. <Ctrl-P>8 -- Playback macro 8 times. <Ctrl-P>9 -- Playback macro 9 times. -------------------------------------------------------------------- MARKERS -------------------------------------------------------------------- Sets Marker 1. <Ctrl-S>1 Sets Marker 2. <Ctrl-S>2 Sets Marker 3. <Ctrl-S>3 Sets Marker 4. <Ctrl-S>4 Sets Marker 5. <Ctrl-S>5 Sets Marker 6. <Ctrl-S>6 Sets Marker 7. <Ctrl-S>7 Sets Marker 8. <Ctrl-S>8 Sets Marker 9. <Ctrl-S>9 Sets Marker 0. <Ctrl-S>0 Set a marker via menu -- <Ctrl-S><Ctrl-M> -- also shows where existing markers are located. These commands set markers in the text allowing you to move quickly from one point to another. These are temporary markers for the duration of the editing session and are not saved when the document is exited. Markers can be moved simply by setting the marker in a different location -- it will be deleted at the original location. The marker can be deleted without moving it by setting it a second time at the same location -- in other words, the command is a toggle. The following commands move you to any of the markers set by the Set Marker command. Jump to Marker 0. <Ctrl-J>0 Jump to Marker 1. <Ctrl-J>1 Jump to Marker 2. <Ctrl-J>2 Jump to Marker 3. <Ctrl-J>3 Jump to Marker 4. <Ctrl-J>4 Jump to Marker 5. <Ctrl-J>5 Jump to Marker 6. <Ctrl-J>6 Jump to Marker 7. <Ctrl-J>7 Jump to Marker 8. <Ctrl-J>8 Jump to Marker 9. <Ctrl-J>9 Jump to Marker by menu. <Ctrl-J><Ctrl-M> This will show you which markers have been set and where. Toggle marker display F1,O,O,M <Ctrl-T><Ctrl-M> This related command toggles the display of the markers. This has no effect on being able to use them. -------------------------------------------------------------------- PRINTING -------------------------------------------------------------------- Print file F1,F,P <Ctrl-F><Ctrl-P> Shift-F9 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Print a File. The command brings up a menu of various parameters that can be set, such as beginning and ending pages to be printed. If the default EPSON-FX.PDF file will not work with your printer, check the file PRINTER.DOC to see if your printer is listed. If none of the included .PDF files will work satisfactorily with your printer, you can use the 'Edit printer codes' option on the print menu to create your own .PDF file. Have your printer manual handy and call up the menu with the <Shift-F9> command and press 'E' to get the secondary menu of font codes. Press <Enter> at the code you want to change to access the code storage area. Enter the code from your manual. Note that many printer commands include an <Esc> as part of the command; in order to enter this you must put <Scroll Lock> ON to enter literal mode. When finished entering -- while NOT in literal mode -- press <Enter> to save your work or <Esc> to exit without saving. When you are all done use the 'Save printer setup' to create a new .PDF file. Use of single sheets is a bit trickier than using form feeds because of the peculiarities of different printers. Be sure to set 'Manual paper feed' to ON and 'Use formfeeds' to OFF. You may have to adjust the length of your page from the default setting of 66 to a length that corresponds to the number of lines your printer will print before issuing an "out of paper" signal to WordMaster telling it to wait for the next page. -------------------------------------------------------------------- FONTS -------------------------------------------------------------------- Use bold F1,P,B <Alt-B> Use underline F1,P,U <Alt-U> Use compressed F1,P,C <Alt-C> Use superscript F1,P,R <Alt-R> Use subscript F1,P,S <Alt-S> Use italic F1,P,T <Alt-T> Use custom font F1,P,M <Alt-V> Show font F1,P,F <Alt-F> Insert control char ------- <Ctrl-C> Toggle attributes F1,T,E,A <Ctrl-T><Ctrl-A> Hard Space ------- <Ctrl-C><Ctrl-O> -------------------------------------------------------------------- WordMaster has the ability to print in several different fonts, depending upon the capabilities of your printer. If your printer has Epson emulation, you should be able to print all these fonts. The font changes are accomplished by inserting control characters into the text. The easiest way to do this is by using the font commands below. This is how they work: When you press one of the <Alt-letter> commands TWO control characters are embedded in the text, one BEFORE the cursor and one AT the cursor. If you are in INSERT MODE you can now simply enter the text you wish to have in that font. When you wish to return to normal text simply use the <right arrow> to move the cursor one space to the right and continue entering text, which will be normal text. You can see this in action by changing the Toggle Attributes command <Ctrl-T><Ctrl-A> to OFF, thereby displaying the embedded codes rather than the font attribute. If a block is marked, the font command will change the entire block to that font and unmark the block. Very useful when editing text. An alternate way to change fonts is to use the Insert Control Character command <Ctrl-C>. Use this method with caution as it allows you it insert any control character, some of which may have unexpected effects. If you work in TYPEOVER mode you will overwrite the second embedded code and will have to enter it manually with the <Ctrl-C> command. <Alt-B> -- Print Bold. <Alt-U> -- Print with Underscore. <Alt-C> -- Print Compressed. <Alt-R> -- Print in Superscript. <Alt-S> -- Print in Subscript. <Alt-T> -- Print in Italic. <Alt-V> -- Available for anything desired, such as double-spacing. <Alt-F> -- Show font. It is not always possible -- especially on a monochrome monitor -- to distinguish the various fonts. Using this command will tell you if a special font has been selected or if it is normal text. Insert control character. This can be used to insert font characters when editing text. Toggle Attributes. Toggles between displaying font attributes and the printer control characters. The default is ON. Hard Space. Use this if you do not want wordwrap to break between certain words. For example, after Mr. or Mrs. It will be printed as a regular space. Enter it with the <Ctrl-C> command -- <Ctrl-C> <Ctrl-O>. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Print/Page Formatting Commands -------------------------------------------------------------------- These commands are not accessible through the <F1> menus, though they are listed in the <Alt-F1> help sections. Learning to use them can add a professional look to your documents. The print formatting commands rely upon the use of a special symbol, the vertical bar |, placed in column 1 of the text. Used by itself, the | symbol simply tells the printer "ignore this line." This makes it a convenient way to write messages to yourself in the text, perhaps to aid when editing the document, such as: | | Eliminate following paragraph? | I have shown these indented so they would print, but the '|' must be in column 1 to trigger the "ignore this line" message. If the margin is set at a number greater than 1 -- and it usually will be -- then use <Home-Left Arrow> to go to column 1 and then <Alt-M> to release the margin for that line and allow you to place the text in the first column. If you use this a lot you could write a macro to perform it easily. If the | symbol is followed by certain codes, the information is passed to the printer to perform certain actions. -------------------------------------------------------------------- PAGE FORMAT COMMANDS -------------------------------------------------------------------- |PO<n> This command offsets the page to the right by <n> columns. This changes the margin for the remainder of the document. It is the same as using <Shift-F6> to reset the margin, but remains part of the text. |PA This command starts a new page. If pagination is ON (the default) this will be marked in the left border with the double line page marker. |PN<n> This command allows you to set the page number. If pagination is ON this will be reflected in the Page number in the top border. This is particularly useful if you are working on a very long document, as you can break it in to shorter sections and maintain accurate page numbers. |PG This command turns page number printing ON. The default is to have numbering OFF. |PC<n> This causes the page number to be printed in column <n> rather than the default, column 39. Use this command if, for example, you want the page number at the right margin. This is useful if you are not using a footer. |PL<n> This sets the page length to <n> lines. |MT<n> This sets the top margin to <n> lines. With it you could set different top margins for different pages. |MB<n> This sets the bottom margin to <n> lines. Like the |MT command, you could set different bottom margins on different pages. |CP<n> This sets a conditional page break. A new page will be started if fewer than <n> lines remain on the page. |OP This command turns page numbering OFF, the default. However, if you had turned turned page numbering ON with the |PG command you could turn it off for one or more pages -- perhaps to accommodate graphics -- and then turn it back on again. Header Commands |HM<n> This changes the number of lines between the top of the page and the header. The default is one line. The line on which the header is printed can be changed by changing the header margin. For example, changing the header margin to 2 would cause the header to be printer on the third line rather than the second. |HE<text> This command will print whatever text follows as a header to your document. This is frequently desirable in reports and other documents where you want an identifying title on every page. Using the |HE command on a subsequent page will change the header. Footer Commands |FM<n> This command sets a new footer margin of <n> lines. The default is 3 lines. Changing the footer margin will change the line on which the footer is printed, just as with the header margin. |FO<text> This prints the <text> as the footer. As noted below, if page numbers are desired AND there is a footer, the desired position of the page number MUST be indicated by the # symbol. Perhaps the following mockup of a page will make the header and footer commands a little clearer. ------------------------------------- |HM { : (1 line) : } } : Header (1 line) : } |MT } : (1 line) : } } : (1 line) : } } : text text text text text text : } : text text text text text text : } : text text text text text text : } : text text text text text text : } / / } |PL : text text text text text text : } : text text text text text text : } : text text text text text text : } : text text text text text text : } : (1 line) : } } : (1 line) : } } : (1 line) : } |MB } : Footer (1 line) : } } { : (1 line) : } } |FM { : (1 line) : } } { : (1 line) : } } ------------------------------------- Simple logic will demonstrate that the following rules must be observed: MT must be greater that HM or the header will not be printed. MB must be greater that FM or the footer will not be printed. PL must be greater that the sum of MT and MB. If either MT or MB are set to zero, page numbers will not be printed. The following symbols are also of use in headers and footers. # The page number will be printed wherever the # symbol appears in either header or footer. Note that when using a footer that automatic pagination is turned off and the # symbol must be used to place the page number. \ The back slash causes the following character to be interpreted literally. So \# would print the # symbol rather than the page number. Even by itself, the back slash will not be printed. Any header and footer commands should be placed at the very beginning of the document, though they can be placed there after the document is finished. If a header or footer is to be changed, any such change should appear at the end of the page before the page on which the change is to appear. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Check spelling F1,H,S <Ctrl-F><Ctrl-S> Ctrl-F2 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Check Spelling. The spell checking commands work only if you have installed Borland International's Turbo Lightning, a commercial spelling checker. An inexpensive alternative is ShareSpell, a shareware program from Acropolis Software. -------------------------------------------------------------------- MISCELLANEOUS TOGGLE COMMANDS -------------------------------------------------------------------- <Ctrl-T><Ctrl-C> Toggle compress at wrap F1,O,O,C <Ctrl-T><Ctrl-H> Toggle hi-bit strip F1,O,O,H <Ctrl-T><Ctrl-I> Toggle autoindent mode F1,O,A <Ctrl-T><Ctrl-J> Toggle right justify F1,O,J <Ctrl-T><Ctrl-L> Toggle 43 line mode F1,O,E <Ctrl-T><Ctrl-P> Toggle pagination F1,O,D <Ctrl-T><Ctrl-S> Toggle snow check F1,O,O,S <Ctrl-T><Ctrl-U> Toggle block cursor F1,O,O,B <Ctrl-T><Ctrl-W> Toggle word wrap F1,O,W <Ctrl-T><Ctrl-Z> Toggle initial zoom F1,O,O,I -------------------------------------------------------------------- All these commands represent on/off choices dealing with how text is displayed and/or handled in other ways and can have their default settings changed with the 'Save Defaults' command. Toggle Compress at Wrap. This command works ONLY when word wrap is turned ON, the default. When this is on, all extraneous spaces are removed when text wraps to the next line. This can be very annoying if you are doing columns or other text with empty spaces! The one really practical use for the command is when converting right-justified text to the normal ragged-right format. The default is OFF. Toggle High-Bit Strip. Some programs like WordStar set the high bit on words as part of their formatting procedure. To bring a WordStar file into the ASCII format used by WordMaster, that high bit needs to be stripped. The default is OFF. Toggle Autoindent Mode. Autoindent causes each line to begin at the same column as the previous line, which is quite useful when inputting a section of indented text. It is also handy for programmers, who use indenting extensively. Toggle Right Justify. Right Justify will cause extra spaces to be added to your text so that the right margin forms a perfectly straight line, like this paragraph. Right justification is somewhat controversial as the extra white space in the middle of the sentence at the expense of white space around it makes it difficult for some people to read. Toggle EGA/VGA 43-line mode. This enables color systems that can display 43 lines. The default is OFF. Toggle Marker Display. Toggles whether markers that have been set are displayed or not. The default is ON. Toggle pagination. This determines whether WordMaster relates to the text as pages or simply as a certain number of lines. The default is ON. Toggle Snow Check. Needed on some earlier color systems. The default is OFF. Toggle Block Cursor. This allows you to choose a large, non-blinking cursor. The default is OFF. Toggle Word Wrap. Word wrap is what causes your text to go automatically to the next line when you reach the right margin. The default is ON. Toggle Initial Zoom. The practical effect of this is whether you would see a second window on the screen or would have to use <Alt-F8> to see it. The default is OFF. -------------------------------------------------------------------- HELP SUMMARY COMMANDS -------------------------------------------------------------------- These commands will bring you a summary of the keyboard commands associated with the area -- the same as you would get with the <Alt-F1> command. You can also reach the same windows through the <F1> menus by choosing Help, Help and choosing the relevant topic. Show help summary F1,H,H.. <Ctrl-X><Ctrl-A> Block help F1,H,H.. <Ctrl-X><Ctrl-B> Cursor help F1,H,H.. <Ctrl-X><Ctrl-C> Delete help F1,H,H.. <Ctrl-X><Ctrl-D> Find/Replace help F1,H,H.. <Ctrl-X><Ctrl-F> Status help F1,H,H.. <Ctrl-X><Ctrl-H> File help F1,H,H.. <Ctrl-X><Ctrl-I> Function keys F1,H,H.. <Ctrl-X><Ctrl-K> Macro help F1,H,H.. <Ctrl-X><Ctrl-M> Spelling help F1,H,H.. <Ctrl-X><Ctrl-P> Quick movement help F1,H,H.. <Ctrl-X><Ctrl-Q> Print Format help F1,H,H.. <Ctrl-X><Ctrl-R> Setting help F1,H,H.. <Ctrl-X><Ctrl-S> Tab help F1,H,H.. <Ctrl-X><Ctrl-T> Utility help F1,H,H.. <Ctrl-X><Ctrl-U> Window help F1,H,H.. <Ctrl-X><Ctrl-W> Text help F1,H,H.. <Ctrl-X><Ctrl-X> -------------------------------------------------------------------- APPLICATION HINTS -------------------------------------------------------------------- Double-Space Printing Many users wish to be able to print with one-and-a-half or double- spacing. This can be accomplished by entering the appropriate commands in the "custom" printing option in the 'edit printer codes' on the print menu. Be sure to enter the code for the desired spacing in the 'Custom ON' AND the code for regular single spacing in the 'Custom OFF' as that will be triggered by the second embedded control code. This can then be used just as you would a font command by using <Alt-V> to embed the two <Ctrl-V>s in the text. It might be easier, however, to manually insert the codes with <Ctrl-C><Ctrl-V> at the beginning of the text to be spaced differently and again at the end of the text. Be aware that alternate spacing will not appear on the screen except as differently shaded text. For that reason, be prepared to have your text break differently than you expect unless you change the page length to reflect the different number of pages. Normally you would have 55 lines of text per page. With double spacing -- depending on your printer -- you will probably only get 27. Given that there are 11 lines dedicated to top and bottom margins changing the page length to about 38 with the <Ctrl-S><Ctrl-P> command should accurately reflect the expected page breaks. If you are printing a long document with section headings that need to start at the top of a new page you can assure this by using the |pa indicator in column 1 to force a page break. Since you are entering the printing codes yourself you can play around with various codes to achieve a 1-1/2 line print or anything else you wish. I hope this capability will further enhance the uses to which you can put WordMaster. Formatting One important part of producing an attractive document is making certain that each part of it is properly formatted. In the normal course of text entry the automatic word wrap will format text within the margins that have been set. There are times though that this formatting is upset by the process of editing a document. One case in which this happens is the insertion of additional material into the text. Example -- You have just written the following sentence in a letter: In response to your request for information in your letter I am enclosing the material about our product. You decide you should insert the date of the received letter into the text and you now have the following: In response to your request for information in your letter of June 16 I am enclosing the material about our product. The easiest solution is to press <F3>, the Reformat Paragraph command, as soon as you finish typing the date. If you somehow did not notice the need to reformat you can return at any time and press <F3> at any point in the text before the word 'enclosing,' as reformatting only affects text beginning with the line on which the cursor is positioned when the command is given. Indented Text Reformatting is also useful when you want to set off a portion of text by using indented text, as pointed out in the <Alt-F3> command, Set Margin at Cursor. An easier way, if you know in advance that the text is to be indented, is to begin the line at the column you want the text to be indented to and use <Ctrl-T><Ctrl-I> to turn on automatic indent. As you enter the text it will automatically be indented to the column where you began. When you are finished use <Ctrl-T> <Ctrl-I> to turn off the indent and return to normal margins. Windows - Block Usage The use of windows can make many editing jobs a great deal easier than they otherwise would be. To open a second (third, fourth...) window, simply press <F8> (or <Ctrl-W><Ctrl-A> if you wish to use the entire <Ctrl-W> series of commands). You will be prompted for a drive and directory, the default being the current drive and directory. The procedure from this point on is the same as choosing the initial file in Window 1. If the desired file is in the current directory, simply press <Enter> for the listing of files in the directory, then move the light bar to the desired file and press <Enter> to select it. When the second window appears with its file, the screen will be split into two parts. For many operations, this is desirable. If, however, you want the full screen for editing in each file simply press <Ctrl-Z> (or <Ctrl-W><Ctrl-Z>) and the current window will be expanded to the entire screen. As you move between windows with the <Shift-F8>, <Alt-F8> commands (or <Ctrl-W><Ctrl-P>, <Ctrl-W><Ctrl-N> series) each window will be a full-screen editing environment. A situation in which using the split screen is advantageous is when copying or moving material within the same file, because you can simultaneously view the portion of the document that is the source of the material and the portion that is its destination. The same is true for copying information between two different files. Let us imagine you have a document for which you want to make a Table of Contents. Load the file as usual, then open window 2 and load the file into it also. In the upper window (window 1) go to the place where you want to put your Table of Contents and enter your title, "Table of Contents," and center it with <Ctrl-F9> if you want it centered. Now use <Alt-F8> to go to window 2 and begin paging through the document until you reach a section heading that you want in your table of contents. We will now use the block commands to create the listing. Go to the beginning of the heading and press <Ctrl-F6> to mark the beginning of the block, press <End> to go to the end of the heading and press <F6> to mark the end of the block. Now use <Alt-F8> to return to window 1 and move the cursor to the line you want the heading to appear in your list. Press <Alt-F6> and the line will be copied from window 2 to window 1. Press <F6> to unmark the block. <Alt-F8> takes you back to window 2 to search for the next heading to put in your list. One of the nice things about this editor is that it will reflect any change in all windows in which the file is open. In other words, a line that you block in window 1 will also appear blocked in window 2. If you delete something from the file in window 2, it will also be deleted from the file in window 1. Not all editors have this capability, which essentially allows you to edit in both directions between the windows. Macros Macros have many uses and can save you time when you learn to use them. As an example, we will write a simple macro that will enter your return address on the right side of the page. We first need to access macro editing with the <Alt-F7> command. A menu of Macros 0-9 will appear on the screen. Let's make this Macro #1, so either press <1> or down-arrow to it and press <Enter>. We are now asked for a name. Let's call this macro "Far Right Return Address," so enter that and press <Enter>. We are now presented with a blank window into which we are going to enter the macro. We need first for our macro to go to the column where we want to begin the return address. Let's try 55 (you can adjust this later if your return address is very long or very short). So enter the command <Ctrl-G><Ctrl-C> which will tell the macro we want to go to a column. There are two ways to do this. You can simply enter it as text, or you can employ a special capability. Press the <Scroll Lock> key and we are now in Literal mode. Now all you need do is hold down the <Ctrl> key while pressing <g> and <c>. The command <Ctrl-G> <Ctrl-C> should appear. Press <Scroll Lock> again to go back to command mode. Now enter 55, the column we want to go to. (Note: If you do not have a <Scroll Lock> key on your keyboard, try using <Alt-Break>.) Now we need to tell the macro to <Enter> that command to go to column 55. Simply pressing <Enter> will not work, as it will cause you to exit the Edit Macro window. So, we need to press <Scroll Lock> again to go to literal mode. Press the <Enter> key and the word <Ctrl-M> (which is the ASCII code for <Enter>) will appear after the 55. Press <Scroll Lock> again to return to normal command mode. Now enter your street address. Note that there should be no spaces at all in your text prior to beginning your street address. When you have finished typing your street address repeat the <Scroll Lock> <Enter> <Scroll Lock> sequence. Begin the procedure all over for the next line of your return address. But you do not go to a new line in the macro editing window. You always enter text in a purely sequential manner, even though the window will sometimes break a word right in the middle as it wraps to the next line. Repeat every step beginning with <Ctrl-G><Ctrl-C>. In a normal return address, you would have one line for the street address, one line for the city, state and zip and one line for the date. Since you want to be able to use this macro for a long time, we are not going to enter the date. But it is convenient to end with your cursor at the point where the date will go. So after you have finished entering your city, state and zip and ended that line with <Scroll Lock><Enter><Scroll Lock>, enter the <Ctrl-G><Ctrl-C>55 <Scroll Lock><Enter><Scroll Lock> once again. Now press <Enter> without pressing <Scroll Lock> to exit the editing window. Now, press <Alt-1> and your return address macro should appear on the screen. If it does not, recheck each step of the above process. To save this macro for future use press <Shift-F7>. When prompted for a name, give it WM.MAC, as that is the default macro file that will be loaded whenever you load WordMaster. Other macro files with the .MAC extension can be created for special purposes, but they must be loaded with the <Ctrl-F7> command. The WM.MAC file included with WordMaster has a 'dummy' form of the above macro that can be edited to display your own address. You might prefer a centered address -- particularly for a business -- so a second 'dummy' macro has been created that uses the <Ctrl-E> command at the end of each line of the address before the <Enter> command to take you to the next line. Edit it for your own address. Be sure to save it with the <Shift-F7> command. If you save it to WM.MAC it will be loaded automatically when you start WordMaster. Also included in WM.MAC is a macro -- assigned to macro #9 -- for automating the process of underlining text -- specifically titles, as it leaves the intervening spaces non-underlined. Simply go the the beginning of the first word to be underlined and press <Alt-9> once for each word to be underlined. I find this much easier than using the <Alt-U> command on each word. |pa Appendix -------------------------------------------------------------------- USING CUSTOM COMMAND PROGRAM -------------------------------------------------------------------- WMCUSTOM.EXE, the WordMaster custom command program, allows the user to redesign the command structure of WordMaster to suit their particular computing needs. The program can be particularly useful to the person who needs to use certain commands a great deal. This user can reassign those commands to the function keys or to control-key commands that are easiest for them to execute. The program is also useful to the many people who have spent a great deal of time becoming familiar with the command structure of particular word processors and find it frustrating to learn an entirely new system. With this installation program the user has the option of closely emulating the command structure of just about any word processing program. A Note of Caution Before Starting In order to use the installation program the following programs MUST be present in the same directory: WMCUSTOM.EXE, WMCUSTOM.TXT and WM.EXE. The help file, WM.HLP, need not be present but a new one will be written if any changes are made. DO NOT ATTEMPT to run this program on a 360K floppy disk as there is not enough room for both the files that must be present and the files that will be created. The result of attempting this will be (at best!) corrupted files that may render the program useless. Files must either be transferred to a hard disk or a high-density floppy. This can be done with the command: COPY a:\*.* c:\[dir] where [dir] is the name of the directory where WordMaster is located. If copying to a high density floppy, then 'a' and 'c' would be replaced by the letters of the appropriate drives. Before using this program BE SURE you never work with your original copy of WordMaster -- ALWAYS work with a copy in case you wind up with a command structure you don't like or that doesn't work as well as expected. While you could run WMCUSTOM to re-create the original command structure, this is a tedious process that can be avoided if you still have the original program. So long as you observe the above precautions you should experience no difficult in using WMCUSTOM to fine-tune WordMaster to suit your personal computing style. Using the Program Once you have all the program files in the same directory simply type WMCUSTOM <Enter> to start the installation procedure. You will see an opening screen for a couple seconds that will then clear and present you with a list of commands that can be changed -- about 175 of them. The only commands that can NOT be changed are the <ALT> commands for macros. To make things even more complicated, each process can have two commands assigned to it and some do have double commands in the default configuration. Use the <Up/Down-Arrows> and <PgUp/PgDn> to move through the list of commands until you find one you want to change. Pressing the <Enter> key will make the command under the cursor available for change. Delete the current command by hitting "C" or by using the Backspace key. Then enter the new command. Note that only the Function keys and Control or Alt key combinations will be accepted as commands. Pressing <Enter> again finalizes the command change and frees you to move to another command. If you desire making extensive changes in the command structure it is advisable to plan this out in advance. The program will not allow you to have duplicate commands and it will not allow you to use a Control-key command both as a single command and as the first command of a double Control-key command. For example, if you want to emulate the WordStar command structure and use <Ctrl-S> as a cursor command, you would then have to re-assign all the commands that begin with <Ctrl-S>: <Ctrl-S>0 through 9, <Ctrl-S><Ctrl-C>, <Ctrl-S><Ctrl-D>, <Ctrl-S><Ctrl-E>, etc. -- 19 commands in all. You can see that this is not a task to be undertaken lightly and can consume many hours. My advice is to focus initially only on those commands that you use frequently and wish to execute more easily. Since all commands that are assigned to the function keys also have a keyboard command available, it is possible to remove any seldom-used commands and replace them with commands you use frequently When you are finished with your command changes, press <Esc> to exit. You will be asked if you want to make the changes permanent and write a new help file. Press "W" if you desire to save the changes you've made, "Q" if you wish to exit without making any changes. If you choose to update the program the new commands will be written to the main WordMaster file then a text file will be created from which a new help file will be written. This process takes only a few minutes. Remember that any changes you have made will now be the permanent commands. -------------------------------------------------------------------- ACKNOWLEDGMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------- WordMaster is written in Turbo Pascal and compiled with Turbo Pascal 6, (c) 1983, 1990 by Borland International.
