In a new or existing document, a flashing cursor shows the current location. When you start typing, text will appear at the cursor and you will notice that the cursor moves to show the current location.
You do not need to press the Enter key at the end of a line of typing: Write automatically wraps the text round onto the next line when there is no more room on the current line.
You can use the ¬ (backspace) key to erase typing mistakes.
To start a new paragraph, press Enter.
When the page is full, you will automatically be taken to the top of the next page. You can also choose to start a new page at any point - select the Page Break command from the Insert menu, or press ctrl+enter.
You can use the Tab key to move the cursor to the next tab position as shown on the ruler. After pressing the Tab key, the next piece of text you enter will be aligned to the left, right or center, according to the alignment setting of the tab (see Changing tab settings).
You can modify existing text by placing the cursor at the point where you want to begin typing. The new text will either replace that text character by character or be inserted into it. This depends on whether you are in Insert mode or Overwrite mode (see Status bar for more details).
It is wise to get into the habit of saving your work regularly. As with all Ability programs, you do this by clicking the Save button on the toolbar or selecting the Save command from the File menu.
