Word Fugue comes with a word counting option. Press Ctrl J V, and a
pop up window will appear with information similar to the following:

Press ESC to return to editing the file. The information is relevant
to the current file, so if you have more than one window open, you
will need to place the cursor in each window and enter the command.
Calculating the file size and word count can take a long time on a big
file, so you can press the space bar while the Get Info window is
being updated to short circuit the calculation of some items.
.tc Partial word count ..............................#
Partial Word Count
If the cursor is placed within a marked block, only the words within
that block will be counted, otherwise the entire file will be counted.

You can either set an option when you load the file, or use the block
command to turn off Hi order bits in a marked block. They have
slightly different effects.
Options are on the Load file menu of the Options menu
This will zero the High order bits in a Wordstar file. You will of
course lose any wrapped information about lines, since they will all
end in a hard Carriage return. Any control codes will be left
untouched. If you wish to retain the line wrap information, you must
use the marked block approach given below.
.CP7
To Turn off bits in a marked block:
.ixStrip Hi bits;Strip Hi bits (Ctrl K^)
1. Mark the block of text with Ctrl K B and Ctrl K K.
2. Press the keys Ctrl K ^ (you need shift plus the 6 key for ^)
Word Fugue will turn off the hi bits in the marked block.
For example:
áíóúñѪº¿⌐¬½¼¡«»░▒▓│┤╡╢╖╕╣║╗╝╜╛┐└┴┬├─┼╞╟╚╔╩╦╠═╬╧╨╤╥╘╒╓╫╪┘┌█µτΦΘ
becomes
!"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRTUVWXYZ[fghi
Strip Hi Bits on File Load
This is on the Global file submenu of the Options menu of the pull
down menu. You can install it as a command sequence using WFINST, but
the default is no command sequence. When Hi-bit strip is ON, the most
significant bit of each character read from the disk will be set to
zero. This is useful when reading in files previously generated in
Wordstar document mode. Note that stripping the high bit will also
affect any usage of the IBM extended ASCII character set, such as the
line drawing characters.

.ix Converting Tabs to Spaces
This is the Expand tabs option on the Load File submenu of the Load
file menu of the pull down menu. You can install a command sequence
for this command by using WFINST, but the default has no sequence
installed. When tab expansion is ON, any tabs encountered upon read-in
of a file are expanded into spaces, using a tab spacing that you
specify. If tab expansion is OFF, Word Fugue leaves the tabs intact.
In this case, Word Fugue does not expand tabs as it displays them, so
these will be displayed on the screen as I.
.tc Convert Spaces to Tabs When Writing The File .......#
Convert Spaces to Tabs When Writing The File
.ix convert Spaces to Tabs
This is the Write tabs option on the Load File submenu of the Load
file menu of the pull down menu. You can install a command sequence
for this command by using WFINST, but the default has no sequence
installed. By default, Word Fugue does not write tab characters in
files saved from the editor. If Tab Writing is activated, Word Fugue
will translate sequences of spaces to tabs in order to save disk space
for the output file. Tabs are computed using the fixed spacing
currently set for fixed tabs. Multiple spaces found within pairs of
single or double quotes (as used in Pascal or C source code) will not
be converted to tabs.
.tc Outline Processing .................................#
Outline Processing
Outline Processing is the ability to jot down your thoughts such as
subject headings, and later flesh them out into a complete document.
You have the ability to view only the headings, or the details, or
both. The details can include other details at lower levels again.
.CP5
With Word Fugue, this can be achieved by use of .FI and the Alt F
command. Jot down your headings in a file. When you are ready to flesh
them out, place a .FI command in column one on the line beneath each
heading, and type a file name after the .FI command. Use a different
file name on each .FI line.
Place the cursor on a line containing a .FI command, and press Alt F.
Word Fugue will open another window with the new file loaded ready for
editing. This file can in turn contain other .FI commands, which can
be loaded in a similar fashion. If you do not have Zoom Windows set,
you will see all files on the screen at the same time. You can nest
include files up to 5 deep, which should give you plenty of scope for
the biggest outlines.

Ruler Lines
.IMRuler Lines
.ixRR; .RR - Ruler line
A ruler line is used to determine the documents current left and right
margins, tab stops and column boundaries. The current ruler line is
displayed at the top of the document, unless you turn the display off.
The option to display the ruler line can be changed as part of the
Options menu on the Ruler sub menu, or it can be changed by entering
Ctrl O T, which will turn the display on and off.
.ix Display of
Word Fugue's default ruler is shown below. It is designed for type at
10 characters per inch on standard 8 inch stationery. The left margin
is in column 1, the right margin in column 70, and tab stops every 8
spaces beginning at column 9.
L-------!-------!-------!-------!-------!-------!-------!-------!----R
.ixJustification;Justification of Text (^O^J or .RR)
The ruler line can contain the following characters:
Character Meaning
L Left margin
