- CHAPTER 4 ENTERING TEXT
-
- Entering text is as simple as pressing the keys on the keyboard, and
- watching the characters appear on the screen.
-
- If Word Wrap is on, the status line will display Wrap or Para, and the
- text which projects over the right hand margin will automatically be
- moved to the next line. See below for more information.
-
- If AutoIndent is on, the status line will display Indent, and the text
- on the new line will line up with the first non blank character on the
- line above. Otherwise the text on the new line will start in the left
- hand margin.
-
- If Insert is active the status line will display Ins, otherwise it
- will display Ovr. When Insert is active, the text to the right of the
- cursor will be pushed right. Otherwise the text will be overwritten.
- To switch between Insert mode and Overwrite mode press the Insert key.

- Word Fugue keeps track of the number of characters and spaces on each
- line. If you type beyond the right margin, words automatically "wrap"
- to the next line. The cursor appears at the end of the wrapped word so
- you can continue typing. Word wrap allows you to type an entire
- paragraph at high speed without having to press Enter for each new
- line. The factory default is for Word Wrap to be on when you start
- Word Fugue - If Word Wrap is on, the status line will display Wrap or
- Para, depending on whether automatic paragraph reformatting is on.
-
- You turn word wrap on or off by pressing Ctrl O W - if it is on then
- it will be turned off and vice versa. In this mode, text will wrap to
- the next line if you type beyond the right margin. However, if you
- change an existing paragraph, it will not be automatically
- reformatted.
-
- .CP5
- If the status line shows Para, then automatic paragraph reformatting
- is active, and the current paragraph is reformatted as you type. If
- this option is off, then you must press Ctrl B to reformat each
- paragraph manually. On slow 4.7Mhz XTs and clones, you may find that
- you can type several words (if you are a fast typist) before automatic
- reformatting appears to happen. This is because reformatting must
- happen in between the keys that you type, and slow machines do not
- have much time to spare.
-
- .CP7
- CAUTION The paragraph is determined to end at the first blank line
- or dot command encountered below the cursor. If you have a series
- of points on lines below, without any intervening blank lines, then
- they will be flowed into the same paragraph on reformat.
-
- If you want to separate them, you should enter a blank line line
- this, or you should enter a paragraph marker. See below

- .tc Paragraph Markers ...............................#
- Paragraph Markers
-
- Paragraphs are delimited by either a blank line, or a dot command, or
- a special paragraph marker, which ever is encountered first. Paragraph
- markers can be inserted manually, or you can change the formatting
- options so that the Enter key will always insert a paragraph marker.
- The option is "Enter gives paragraph" under the Format sub menu of the
- Options menu. (F10 O F E) The value of this option can be saved with
- the "Save Setup" command. With font display off, a paragraph marker
- will look like {.Œ}, while with font display on, a paragraph
- marker will look like Ù.
- .. This selects PC-850 on laser which shows as {.Œ} instead

- Automatic reformatting of paragraphs is activated by pressing Alt P,

- you turn it on, Word wrap will also be turned on if wasn't already
- active.
-
- .tc Justification ......................................#
- Justification
-
- .ixJustification;Justification of Text (^O^J or .RR)
- If Justification is active, the status line will display Just, and
- text that is wrapped will be padded with spaces to fit between the
- left and right margins so that it lines up on both margins. For this
- option to work properly, you also need the Squash Line on Reformat
- option to be active. If you turn justification on, then Word Fugue
- automatically turns this option on. Turning off line squashing also
- turns off justification. However, you may turn Line squashing ON
- without turning justification on in the event that you want to
- "unjustify" some text to remove the padding that Word Fugue has added
- in. The default value for "Squash Line" is ON.
-
- Right justification of text can be turned on by pressing Ctrl O J if
- it is currently off, and off if it is currently on. Justification can
- also be set by use of the ruler line, if you do, the ruler line will
- over-ride the the command you enter from the key board.
-
- When text˙ is justified, each line˙ is padded out so˙ that the text is
- flush with˙ both the left and˙ right margins. Word Fugue˙ does this by
- inserting˙ Pad characters˙ into the˙ text. These˙ normally display˙ as
- spaces, and will ALWAYS print as spaces. The text of this paragraph is
- Justified, while the rest of the text in this manual is not. Each time
- a justified line is reformatted, the pad characters are first removed,
- and˙ then the˙ text is˙ wrapped. Once˙ the newly˙ formatted lines˙ are
- established, the˙ pad characters are˙ inserted as required˙ to pad out
- the lines again.
-
- The pad characters can be displayed on the screen as {.|˙} characters if
- you turn on the "Visible Padding" option, located in the display
- options sub menu of the Options menu. (F10 O D V) The value of the
- option may be saved with the "Save Setup" command.

- then pressing the appropriate key for the font as you have installed
- it in your printer driver. The values given above are the default
- values. See the Chapter on Printing for more on fonts.
-
- Most fonts need to be turned off at the end of the enhanced area. To
- do this press Ctrl P and the same key as you used to turn it on.
-
- The default fonts can also be entered by use of Alt keys although all
- other font characters can only be entered by the first method.

- .irAccent Marks;Accent Marks See Overprinting
- Many special characters are available in the various macro files
- supplied with Word Fugue.
-
- For example GREEK, EUROPE, DOUBLE & SINGLE for the greek character
- set, special European characters, and the Double and single line
- drawing characters.
-
- Others can be entered if you know the actual Ascii code for them. Most
- can be entered by holding down the Alt key and pressing 3 keys in
- sequence on the numeric key pad eg ALT 2 5 4 will produce the
- character ˛.
-
- Some characters that are used for commands cannot be entered this way,
- but must be entered by pressing Ctrl P followed by the key(s) required
- to produce the correct value.
-
- .ixOverprinting;Overprinting
- Sometimes you wish to overtype two characters to produce a different
- character. Whether this works depends on your printer. To do this, you
- must separate the two characters by the Backspace character Ctrl H. To
- enter this value, you must use the Ctrl P method. For example, you
- could print a cent character by overtyping c and ≥ :
-
- type c Ctrl P H ≥
-
- On most printers this should produce c with a line through it:
-
- c≥

- When you press a keyboard character, the character that displays on
- the screen, and the character that prints on your printer depend upon
- your printer, your screen, and the control tables loaded when you run
- Word Fugue. The standard configuration of a PC "out of the box" is the
- US ASCII standard. This can be changed by setting up the appropriate
- Control Pages when you boot your machine. Please refer to your DOS
- manual for further information.

- For example
- o/ (used by Norwegian and Danish) is available if the correct
- control page is used.
