     WINDOWS [85]

     Wordworth is a multitasking word processor and
     displays each open document in a separate window.
     Command actions affect only the current document.
     Open document windows are listed on the Project
     menu, and the total number of documents is limited
     only by the memory of your Amiga.

     All Wordworth windows follow the Amiga protocol,
     and just like Workbench, they can by resized,
     overlapped, moved and so on. Each window is a
     separate process (task) which means for example,
     when one window is printing or spelling checking,
     you can continue working in the other windows.
     Choosing Quit (Project menu) will close down all
     open windows.
Workbench open
     WORKBENCH OPEN [156]

     A check mark (tick) next to the "Workbench
     open" command (Wordworth menu) indicates whether
     or not the Workbench screen is open. The Workbench
     may be toggled open/closed.

     Closing Workbench can save up to 40K of memory,
     and is a good idea if you only have 1MB of RAM
     available. However, Workbench will only close if
     there are no programs running (Workbench disk
     directory windows excluded).


WORDWORTH BOOK AMENDMENTS - THIS IS ALSO THE READ.ME
----------------------------------------------------

The Quick reference card mentioned in the book does not exist and
references to it should be ignored.

Line 5 of the poem on page 29 should have the return character
after the word philosophy.

Step 3 page 40. Before typing poem as the document name you need to
delete
the existing entry using the backspace key, delete key or right Amiga-X.


HARD DISK INSTALLATION
----------------------

For Wordworth to look its best, you should have the Times and Helvetica
fonts installed on your hard disk. These are provided on the Extras disk
that comes with your Amiga Workbench disk.
If the fonts are not in your hard disk's FONTS: drawer you will need to
copy them into the FONTS: drawer from the Workbench Extras disk using
the Shell (CLI), using the following command:

copy "Extras 1.3:fonts" FONTS: all


ENHANCED LASERJET (DESKJET) SUPPORT
-------------------------

When using an HP LaserJet compatible laser printer, with the HP_LaserJet
printer driver, you can now take advantage of the printer's built-in
TmsRmn and Helve fonts, when using NLQ or Draft mode printing.

To do this type in your document on screen using the Times or Helvetica
fonts. Keep the line spacing to either 6 or 8 lines per inch.
When you print the document using NLQ or Draft modes the printer will use
its TmsRmn fonts for the Times text, and Helve for the Helvetica text.
The font sizes are mapped like this:-

 Times 11-13          Printed using        TmsRmn 10
 Times 15-24             .      .          TmsRmn 14 (if available)
 Helvetica 9             .      .          Helve 8
 Helvetica 11,13         .      .          Helve 12  (if available)
 Helvetica 15-24         .      .          Helve 14  (if available)

All the styles, bold, italics, underline etc. are printed, as are the
standard NLQ fonts, Pica, Elite, Condensed, and Enlarged.

Note that Wordworth does not yet provide true support for proportional
printer fonts (like TmsRmn and Helve) so although the document will print
out using these fonts, right aligned, centred, justified, and some
tabulated text may not be laid out correctly on the page.
However the support for these fonts is still very useful for writing
left-aligned documents like letters, with the professional look that the
fonts provide.

If you use a DeskJet printer you should also be able to achieve the same
effect by using the HP_DeskJet driver and typing your documents in using
the fonts described above.


MAILMERGING WITH MAILSHOT PLUS
------------------------------

If you use Mailshot Plus for creating name and address data files for use
with Wordworth's Mail Merge feature the data files should be saved out
from Mailshot Plus in the following manner:-

From the FILE menu, select File Type of TEXT.
Enter ^m for the Record separator (replacing ^j^j).
Select SAVE to save the file.

From within Wordworth you should select Mailshot Plus format from
within the Merge Data File Format requester when using Mail Merge and
deselect the 'Includes Header Record' check box.


WILLIAM WORDSWORTH
------------------
ÿWilliam Wordsworth was born on the 7th April 1770 at Cockermouth in
Cumberland, England.  He grew up in the beautiful lake district that was
later to provide inspiration for much of his poetry and philosophy.  His
early boyhood was marred by the tragedy that was to accompany him
throughout life.  When he was just eight years old his mother died,
followed by his father five years later.  From a young age, he was very
aware that the way in which he lived would have a profound influence upon
his creativity.  He later put many of his experiences into the largely
autobiographical poem, The Prelude, recognising that this was an
unconventional method of writing poetry: "A thing unprecedented in
literary history that a man should talk so much about himself.  Strong
contemporary opinion held that to use poetry to describe normal, everyday
occurrences was to demean the form.  Wordsworth, on the contrary, used
poetry to exalt the everyday and commonplace, believing it represented
the truest part of human nature.  In his poems: "Low and rustic life was
generally chosen, because in that condition the essential passions of the
heart find a better soil in which they can attain their maturity. . . in
that condition the passions of men are incorporated with the beautiful
and permanent forms of nature.  At the age of 17, Wordsworth was admitted
to Cambridge University, and his first published poem: Sonnet: On Seeing
Miss Helen Maria Williams Weep at a Tale of Distress  was published in
the same year. In 1790, with a college friend, Robert Jones,  Wordsworth
made the first of many walking tours to France, also visiting
Switzerland.  From this first visit, Wordsworth formed an attachment to
France and a love for the country that was to stay with him all his life.
After graduating, Wordsworth moved to France.  He had an affair with
Annette Vallon in the spring of the following year at Blois.  On Dec 15th
1792, she gave birth to his illegitimate daughter Caroline. In 1793,
Wordsworth returned to England.  From the following year he stayed with
his sister, Dorothy, who lived with him for most of her life, even after
his marriage.  In 1795 he was left 900 by Raisley Calvert, whom he had
helped to nurse during a long sickness.  This was a considerable amount
of money, and whilst he had never been poor, he became increasingly
affluent.  He also met Samuel Taylor Coleridge in this year, and formed
the basis of the friendship that would later result in the publication of
the revolutionary Lyrical Ballads.  The poems that Wordsworth had begun
to write were revolutionary for many reasons.  Most significantly, he
succeeded in moving away from the conventional poetry written by his
contemporaries.  He hated stylized and flowery poetry, and the use of
rhetoric for the sake of rhetoric.  Wordsworth wanted to write simply,
for the commemoration of nature and of humanity.  In the preface to
Lyrical Ballads , he wrote: "The principal object, then, which I proposed
to myself in these poems was to choose incidents and situations from
common life and to relate or describe them throughout, as far as was
possible in a selection of language really used by men." This may appear
strange to the modern reader when considering, for example, I wandered
lonely as a cloud,' perhaps the most famous of Wordsworth's poems. The
metaphors he uses may not sound as if they relate to the voice of the
common man, yet this poem illustrates the second half of his inspiration,
celebration of nature, in a very personal manner. William Wordsworth was
a strange mixture of realist and idealist. Although his life-philosophy
was based upon a deep love for nature and for the common man, he himself
came from more affluent society, and considered himself superior to those
he romanticised, describing a poet as: "A man . . .  endued with more
lively sensibility, more enthusiasm and tenderness, who has a greater
knowledge of human nature and a more comprehensive soul, than are
supposed to be common among mankind."  In spite of this, it was his
greatest ambition to be simply: "A man speaking to men.  In 1802 he
married Mary Hutchinson, with whom he had five children (two died in
infancy and one later in life).  His brother John was killed in 1804.  In
spite of his natural emotional distress, Wordsworth remained a prolific
writer. More than any other poet, he illustrated the nature of the early
English Romantic Movement.  The date usually given to the origin of the
movement is 1798, the same year that Wordsworth and Coleridge completed
their first edition of Lyrical Ballads.  The Romantic Movement was
characterised by revolution - political and poetical: Through his poetry,
Wordsworth responded to the changes taking place in his society - namely,
the repressive measures introduced by the English government in response
to the Revolution in France.  He stood at the forefront of English
intellectuals who supported the French Revolution and felt that it
represented a shift in the power balance towards the working classes, and
would therefore be desirable in England. He reacted strongly against the
move away from rural life towards the greater urbanisation of the
population believing that uniformity of industrial occupation and the
desire for more technical information were killing off the finer
instincts found in mankind - the purer feelings characterised by a rural
idyll. In 1835 his sister Dorothy had a complete mental breakdown, from
which she never recovered.  This seemed to mark a turning point in his
life.  He lost much of his radicalism, and conformed more and more with
the social position he occupied, rather than with his youthful ideals. In
1843 he became poet Laureate.  Two years later he attended the Queen's
Ball in London.  Both of these actions were considered by the second
generation romantic poets - Keats, Shelley and Byron, as a betrayal of
what the Romantic movement stood for. On the 23 April 1850, at the age of
80, Wordsworth died.  By using the imagery of nature, Wordsworth had
striven to rediscover something that he felt his generation had lost.  He
believed: "Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: It
takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquillity".  As he grew
older, however, his emotions and passions had mellowed and his verse grew
more akin to that he had earlier rejected. Even his earlier poetry was
not seen by everyone as being merit-worthy.  Due to the originality of
its form and content, Wordsworth's contribution to literature was not
always recognised.  Hazlitt, a contemporary writer and critic, said of
his poems in 1825: "The vulgar do not read them: the learned . . . do not
understand them, the great despise [and] the fashionable . . . ridicule
them.  Today, Wordsworth's enormous contribution to poetry is generally
recognised.  His work may appear rhetorical and artificial by modern
standards - after all it is two hundred years old - but he created the
potential for a true form of poetry for the people.  A poetry that can be
used as a common language of emotion and perception and that does not
depend upon education or social status, either for creation or
comprehension.

His best known poem is probably "I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud"

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills
When all at once I saw a crowd
A host, of golden daffodils
Beside the lake, beneath the trees
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze

On 23rd April, 1850, at the age of 80, William died.
