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 {.╬}, while with font display on, a paragraph
marker will look like ⌠.
.. This selects PC-850 on laser which shows as {.╬} instead

Automatic reformatting of paragraphs is activated by pressing Alt P,
which will turn it on of it is off, and turn it off if it is on. If
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.
