Introduction {.╬}
Welcome to the world of Word Processing and Word Fugue. Word Fugue is
a text based word processor that has grown much since its humble
beginnings in 1985. It is distributed as shareware, which means that
you the user have had a say in what it does, and how it does it. Word
Fugue is a powerful word processor that is simple to use, and can
handle almost every type of business and professional document.{.╬}
{.╬}
You can customise Word Fugue - change the mapping of keyboard to
commands, as well as the way it performs many of its tasks, to build a
custom word processor for each type of document you work on. Word
Fugue is not just one word processor for all jobs, it is a program
that you can change to be a specific word processor for each different
type of document.{.╬}
{.╬}
For advanced users, Word Fugue can generate indexes and tables of
contents, supports snaking columns of text as well as tables,
footnotes and endnotes, and includes special fields that can be
included to generate such data as the current date or time. It also
has macros for combining commands and repeating them. Yet even the
advanced features are easy to use for beginners and occasional users.{.╬}
{.╬}
This manual you are now reading was put together with Word Fugue, and
the Camera ready copy was printed on a Texas Instruments laser
printer.{.╬}

.tc Getting Started ....................................#
Getting Started{.╬}
{.╬}
The instructions in this User's Guide are for a computer with two disk
drives. If your computer has only one disk drive, just change disks
when your computer tells you to. If you have a hard disk, modify the
instructions as appropriate. Whenever this User's Guide says "B:",
substitute "C:" (and a subdirectory name, if necessary).
The notation <Enter> means that you should press the Enter key after
you type the command. The Esc key is the universal cancel key; use it
to cancel Word Fugue commands.
If you have only one disk drive, you should load the program, then
change the disk to the data disk. Word Fugue is a memory editor, so it
loads all the file into memory. However, you will need to copy the
overlay file (WF.OVR) and your chosen Printer Definition File
(????.PDF) to the data disk. If you need help, you will have to copy
the help file (WF.HLP) from the program disk, or swap to the program
disk, before you press the Help key. Checking spelling can also be
done by swapping to the dictionary disk before you start checking
spelling. Remember to swap back to the data disk before you save your
file. If you have a large capacity floppy drive (1.2M or 1.44M) then
you should put all required files on the same disk.
A tutorial is supplied at the back of this manual (Refer to Appendix
A). If you are new to Word Processing, you should go through this
tutorial once you have installed the programs. If you are an
experienced user, you should skim the rest of this manual to get a
feel for the commands and functions, and start using the program.

Backup Your Disks
.imInstallation
.ix Backing Up Originals
Word Fugue comes on several disks in compressed format. Look at the
file READ.ME on the Word Fugue program disk for any last minute
changes. The file UPDATE.DOC contains details of any updates to the
program that did not make it into this manual. You can run the program
README.COM that comes on the installation disk to browse the READ.ME
file:
README README.1
will display a full screen from the READ.ME file. The arrow keys will
move up and down, as will the page up and page down keys. Press ESC
when you have finished.
To make backup Word Fugue disks:
1. Format blank disks with the DOS FORMAT command. You will need as
many disks as you received with your package.
2. Place the original Word Fugue program disk in drive A, and the new,
formatted disk in drive B. Copy all the original Word Fugue files
to the new disk by typing at the DOS prompt:
COPY *.* B: <Enter>
.CP5
3. Place the Word Fugue utility disk in drive A, and a new formatted
disk in drive B. Copy the original files to the new disk by typing
at the Dos Prompt
COPY *.* B: <Enter>
4. Label the backup disks and store the originals in a safe place.
If you have only one floppy disk drive, refer to the manual that came
with your computer for instructions about how to make copies of the
disks.
.tc Installation .......................................#
Installation
The disks are issued in compressed format, using PKZIP. Installation /
decompression should be automatic - place disk 1 in drive A (or B) and
make that drive the default drive (by typing in A: or B:). Then type
INSTALL, and follow the instructions on screen. On your hard disk you
will need about 1.2M of free space. Once installed, you can save space
by deleting the documentation files, and the Printer Definition Files
that you do not need. If you select to unpack the sample documentation
(a disk version of this manual) you will need about 649K additional
disk space. You probably don't need this, but it give a good example
of how to prepare large documents.
The changes since the manual was printed are documented in the files
UPDATE.??? on the Word Fugue Program disk. The README.1 file on the
first disk details which files are in which ZIP file - you can always
unpack them manually with PKUNZIP (supplied). If you do encounter
problems with installation, please let us know - it is sometimes
difficult to anticipate problems that might be caused by specific
hardware/software configurations. If you do have trouble, you can
always copy the *.ZIP files to your hard disk, and then type in
PKUNZIP -x filename *.*
where filename is the name of a .ZIP file, and PKUNZIP will extract
the contents. {.╬}
{.╬}
.CP5
Dictionary{.╬}
{.╬}
The dictionary that is unpacked automatically contains about 75,000
words, but will fit on a 360k floppy disk. A larger dictionary is
supplied on a separate disk - you will need high density floppies or a
hard disk to utilise it. It contains about 100,000 words. You unpack
it by copying it to your hard disk, along with PKUNZIP.EXE, and typing
in:{.╬}
PKUNZIP -x WFBIGLEX *.*{.╬}
{.╬}
The small dictionary is called WF_MAIN.LEX, while the large dictionary
has a different name, depending upon which language it is based upon.
We have both Australian, English & American versions of the
dictionary, titled WF_AUS.LEX, WF_UK.LEX & WF_USA.LEX so that you can
keep both on your hard disk. You can select which one you want to use
from the options menu. (Refer to Spell checking for more information).
If you would like to order an additional dictionary - information on
how to order any of them is included in the back of the manual.
Foreign language dictionaries may be available - check with your local
distributor.

.ix Floppy Disk
Word Fugue comes in compressed format to save on disks. The
installation program automatically unpacks the compressed files. You
are given the option of unpacking the documentation files or not.
You place the installation disk into your floppy disk drive and make
that the default drive. (If it is drive A then type in A: followed by
Enter, if it is B then type B: followed by Enter). Type in
INSTALL
and follow the instructions of the installation program. You will be
asked which drive to install to, the directory to install to, and
whether you are updating a previous version. Once you have answered
these questions, the installati
