WorldScript Preferences
Synch Script to Font
With Synch Script to Font enabled, users with non-English system software can enter text in English or any other language scripts installed with the system software.
When the Synch Script to Font control is selected, the current language script changes to reflect the location of the insertion point. For example, clicking in a paragraph written in Kanji automatically changes the current language script to Kanji.
00020000092C00004EEA 926,
Regardless of the setting of the Synch Script to Font control, choosing an English font from the Font menu automatically changes the script to English.
Note! International language scripts also contain a Roman character set. As a result, placing the intersection point within text that appears to be Roman may not change the script to English. Instead, the script changes to the language script used to create the text.
Synch Font to Script
Mariner Write Lite saves the last font and text size used when the current International language script changes. To restore the last font and size used when the script is re-selected, enable the Synch Font to Script command.
The following defaults are used when the language script is selected for the first time:
Script Font
Roman Geneva
Kanji (Japanese) Osaka
Simplified Chinese Beijing
Traditional Chinese Taipei
The default font for scripts not listed above is the first default application font of the script. The default font size is the last size selected by the user or the default system font.
Note! With Synch Font to Script enabled, you cannot enter Roman characters using a non-Roman script. Upon typing English characters, the font and size will change to Geneva or the last font and size settings selected.
Text Services (Non-English Languages Only)
With Text Services enabled, users with non-English system software can enter text directly into the document window in place of using the Text Services conversion window.

Spell Check on Open
Choose this option if you want to start spell the document immediately when using Check Spelling command. With this option off, you will need to click the Check button to start, this is useful if you use the Lookup button often.
Page Margins
Because of common printer limitations, the area where you can enter type is usually not the same as the full page size. The distances from the page edges to the respective edges of the printable area are called the page margins.
[]
Since the page margin can be only as large as the maximum printable area, the values you can enter for each margin depend on the printer selected in the Chooser. The size and orientation of the printable area are controlled by the Page Setup command.
To set the page margins:
1. Choose the Margins command from the Format menu.
2. Enter values for the top, left, bottom, and right margins. If you want the area where you can type to be the same as the maximum printable area, click the Maximum Print Area button.

Chapter 3
Entering and Editing
What’s in This Chapter?
This chapter details how to:
• Enter and select text
• Control word wrap
• Cut, copy, Drag and Drop, and paste plain and styled text
• Insert a Date/Time or Page Number stamp
• Use other related entering and editing features
Entering Text
To enter text in a new document, simply type. The insertion point, a blinking vertical bar, marks where the next characters appear as you type. The insertion point also marks where pasted text or a graphic is inserted.
[]
To change where you want to type, simply click where you want to position the insertion point.
Note! You can position the insertion point only to the left or right of an existing character. As such, you may need to repeatedly press the Return or Enter key to move the insertion point to a location that doesn’t already contain text.
You can also move the insertion point one character to the left or right by pressing the left or right arrow key. Pressing the up arrow key moves the insertion point to the line above. Pressing the down arrow key moves it to the line below.
000200000C6D00007F46 C67,
Word Wrap
As you type, words automatically flow, or “break”, to the next line when you reach the right margin marker. This is called word wrap.
[]
Note! For detailed information about using and setting margins, see the Changing Margins section in Chapter 4, Formatting Text.
In addition to the space character, lines also wrap on the Soft Hyphen character. For detailed information about using the Soft Hyphen, see the Soft Hyphens section that follows.
If you don’t want a line to break between words, type a non-breaking space between them. To type a non-breaking space, hold down the Option key and press the space bar.
[]
Using Soft Returns
The left and right margin markers let you adjust the horizontal position of each paragraph. To move the text insertion point to the next line without starting a new paragraph, press Shift + Return key. This is called a Soft Return or Line Feed.
[]
Example: Using a soft return aligns the next line with the Left Indent, instead of starting a new paragraph and moving the text to the First Indent location.
Soft Hyphens
There may be situations where you want the option of having a line break within a word instead of between words.
The Soft Hyphen character lets you split a word across lines.
Note! Soft Hyphens are visible only when a word splits.
[]
[]
To insert a Soft Hyphen, position the cursor where you want the word to split and either:
• Choose Insert Soft Hyphen from the Insert menu.
-or-
• Type Command-Shift-Dash (or Command-Shift-Minus).
To remove a Soft Hyphen, position the cursor to the right of the Soft Hyphen and press the Delete key.
Selecting Text
You must select text before you can edit it or change its appearance.
[]
You can use the mouse, keyboard, or a combination of both to select a continuous range of text. The simplest method is to drag across, or highlight the text you want to select.
Selecting by Dragging
To select text by dragging:
1. Position the I-Beam cursor in front of the first character you want to select.
[]
[]
2. Drag over the text, including the last character you want to select.
[]
Dragging past the edge of the document window automatically scrolls the document in that direction.
Selecting by Keyboard
To select text by using the keyboard:
1. Position the I-beam cursor in front of the first character you want to select.
2. Hold down the Shift key.
3. Press the Left or Right Arrow key to extend your selection by one character to the left or right.
4. Press the Up or Down Arrow to extend your selection to the nearest character in the line above or below your insertion point.
[]
[]
When dragging is inconvenient, such as when you want to select all the text on multiple pages, use the Shift-click technique.
To select text by Shift-clicking:
1. Position the I-Beam cursor in front of the first character you want to select.
2. Hold down the Shift key and click behind the last character you want to select.
If the last character isn’t visible, use the scroll bars or Go To feature to change the visible page. For detailed information about using the Go To feature, see the Go To section in Chapter 2, Working with Documents.
00020000095300008BAD 94D,
To increase or decrease the size of your selection, repeat step 2 above or any of the selection techniques previously described.

Chapter 4
Formatting Text
What’s in This Chapter?
This chapter details how to:
• Use the ruler to set margins, indents, and tabs
• Use the style ribbon and menus to change text font, size, and style
• Adjust alignment, line spacing, and kerning
• Use style sheets
• Create multiple columns
• Adjust orphan and widow values
• Use other related formatting features
The Ruler
Use the ruler to:
• Position text
• Change paragraph margins
• Adjust tabs
To display the ruler, choose Show Ruler from the Window menu. To hide the ruler, choose Show Ruler a second time.
The ruler’s default measurement unit is inches. To change the measurement unit, hold the control key down and click on the ruler. Choose a new measurement from the pop menu.
The gray ruler areas mark the document’s left and right page margins.
[]
0002000006760000C706 670,Note! The area where you can type is controlled through the Margins command. For detailed information about changing margins, see the Page Margins section in Chapter 2, Working with Documents.
The Style Ribbon
Use the style ribbon to:
• Create tabs in conjunction with the ruler
• Set font, size, and style
• Set paragraph alignment
Each style ribbon feature is described in its respective section.
To display the style ribbon, choose Show Style Ribbon from the Window menu. To hide the style ribbon, choose Show Style Ribbon a second time.
Working with Margins
Three ruler controls, the left and right margin markers and the first-line indent marker, let you adjust the horizontal position of each paragraph.
[]
As you type, text flows to the right. When the text reaches the right margin, it moves to the next line. This is called word wrap.
To change a paragraph’s left or right margin, click anywhere in the paragraph to display the margins for that paragraph. Then drag the left or right margin to a new position.
As you drag the left margin its distance from the ruler zero mark is displayed in the command bar.
Indenting Paragraphs
Just above the left margin marker is the first-line indent marker. The first-line indent lets you create an indented or “hanging” paragraph by offsetting the paragraph’s first line to the right or left of the left margin.
[]
Dragging the left margin marker moves the first-line marker by the same distance. As a result, the same indentation is maintained when you change the left margin. To move only the left margin marker, drag the Left Only marker. (See example in “Working with Margins”)
0002000007B30000CD76 7AD,Each time you press the Return key, you create a new paragraph. The margins of the new paragraph are the same as the previous paragraph.
[]
You can also change paragraph margins and first-line indent settings through the Paragraph dialog.
To change ruler margins through the Paragraph dialog:
1. Position the insertion point within the paragraph you want to change.
2. Choose Paragraph from the Format menu.
3. Enter values for Left, Right, and First-Line spacing the in the Paragraph Spacing section of the Paragraph dialog.
Space Before and After a Paragraph
Instead of pressing the Return key repeatedly to increase the space between paragraphs, use the Paragraph command to digitally control the vertical spacing between paragraphs.
To change paragraph spacing:
1. Position the cursor within the paragraph you want to change.
2. Choose Paragraph from the Format menu.
3. Enter values for Before Paragraph and After Paragraph spacing in the Paragraph Spacing section of the Paragraph dialog.
[]
Changing Margins for Multiple Paragraphs
To see the margin settings for a single paragraph, simply click anywhere in the paragraph. You don’t have to select the entire paragraph.
If your selection includes text from paragraphs having different margins, the ruler displays the margin markers and tabs for the top-most paragraph of the selection.
• Changing a margin marker aligns the left or right sides of all the paragraphs in the selection.
Tabs
A tab is a non-printing character that’s typed each time you press the Tab key. Pressing tab moves the insertion point to the next tab stop.
Note! To see tabs and all other invisible characters, choose Show Invisible Characters from the Document window or press the Show Invisible Characters button in the command bar.
There are four kinds of tabs: left, center, right, and decimal.
[]
When you move the insertion point to a left tab and type, text aligns on the left and flows to the right.
00020000075D0000D523 757,
When you move the insertion point to a right tab and type, text aligns on the right and flows to the left.
[] []
When you move the insertion point to a center tab and type, the center of the text aligns with the tab and text flows to the left and right.
When you move the insertion point to a decimal tab and type, text flows to the left until you type a decimal, period, or soft hyphen. Then text flows to the right. Decimal tabs are particularly useful for aligning currency or other decimal numbers.
[] []
Aligning Specific Characters
You can use the soft hyphen character or the decimal tab to align paragraphs on any character. Simply insert a soft hyphen after each character you want to align with the decimal tab.
[]
Each time you press the Return key to create a new paragraph, the tabs of the new paragraph are the same as the previous paragraph.
Creating Tabs
By default, left tab stops are set about every half inch but aren’t displayed in the ruler.
You can override the default tab stops by setting your own tabs.
When you set your own tabs, default tabs to the left of the tab you set are ignored. As a result, pressing the Tab key once moves the insertion point to your first custom tab. Pressing the Tab key again either moves the cursor to the next default tab or custom tab.
You can create your own tabs interactively or via the Tab dialog box.
Creating Tabs by Dragging
To interactively create a custom tab, drag the tab from the style ribbon into the ruler area.
[]
[]
Note! To set tabs by dragging, both the ruler and style ribbon must be visible. To display the ruler and style ribbon, select Show Ruler and Show Style Ribbon from the Document window respectively.
Moving Tabs
To move a tab, simply drag it to the new position. As you drag, the tab’s distance from the ruler zero mark is displayed in the command bar.
Deleting Tabs

Proofing Your Documents
What’s in This Chapter?
This chapter details how to:
• Find and replace text, font, and size
• Check your spelling
Finding and Replacing Text
Use the Find command to search for, and optionally replace, text in your document.
To use the Find window:
1. Activate the document where you want to find, and optionally replace, text.
2. Choose Find/Replace from the Edit menu (Command-F) or press the Find/Replace button in the command bar.

[]
3. Enter or paste the text you want to find into the Find field.
Because the Tab and Return keys are also used to operate the Find dialog, you can’t type a Tab or Return character in the Find or Replace fields. Instead, choose the Tab, Return, or Page Break characters from the Special pop-up menu or:
Type To represent a
“^r” Return
“^t” Tab
“^p” Page Break
“^e” New Line (Soft Return)
4. Select the appropriate search options.
• To search for an entire word only, select the Entire Word control. For example, searching for “and” with Entire Word selected would find the “and” in “Jobs and Wozniak” but not the “and” in “candy”.
• To find where the text occurs, regardless of case, select the Ignore Case control.
• To search all the text in the current document, (including headers/footers and footnotes) select “All” in the Search pop-up menu. To igonore headers/footers and footnote text, select “Main Text Only” in the Search pop-up menu.
5. If you want to replace found text with new text, enter or paste text into the Replace field.
Tip! To delete found text, don’t enter any text in the Replace With field. As a result, you can replace found text with no text.
6. Press one of the following buttons:
Press [] or the Return or Enter keys, to begin searching at the insertion point.
If the text is found, it’s displayed and selected. Clicking the Find button again finds the next occurrence.
If the text is found, press [] to replace the selection with the text in the Replace field.
Use [] as a shortcut to successively clicking the Replace, then the Find, buttons.
