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.
.tc Word Wrap ..........................................#
Word Wrap
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.
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, but if you turn justification off,
line squashing is left on, and you must then turn it off manually.
Turning off line squashing also turns off justification.
Paragraphs are delimited by either a blank line, or a dot command,
which ever is encountered first. (This differs from WordStar, which
has hard and soft carriage returns - hard returns mark the end of a
paragraph)
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.
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.

^T On & Off - usually superscript
^V On & Off - usually subscript
^A On & Off - usually compressed
^Y On & Off - usually italics
^C On & Off - USER DEFINED
^E On & Off - USER DEFINED
^F On & Off - USER DEFINED

The carat (^) before each character means control plus the character
indicated. You can enter all font characters by pressing Ctrl P and
then pressing the appropriate key for the font as you have installed
it in your printer driver. The values given above are the default
values. See the Chapter on Printing for more on fonts.
Most fonts need to be turned off at the end of the enhanced area. To
do this press Ctrl P and the same key as you used to turn it on.
The default fonts can also be entered by use of Alt keys:
Bold ^B On & Off - Alt B
Double Strike ^D On & Off - Alt D
Underline ^S On & Off - Alt U
Superscript ^T On & Off - Alt T
Subscript ^V On & Off - Alt V
Compressed ^A On & Off - Alt C
Italics ^Y On & Off - Alt I

although all other font characters can only be entered by the first
method.
.tc Entering A Special Character .......................#
Entering A Special Character
Many special characters are available in the various macro files
supplied with Word Fugue.
For example GREEK, EUROPE, DOUBLE & SINGLE for the greek character
set, special European characters, and the Double and single line
drawing characters.
Others can be entered if you know the actual Ascii code for them. Most
can be entered by holding down the Alt key and pressing 3 keys in
sequence on the numeric key pad eg ALT 2 5 4 will produce the
character ■.
Some characters that are used for commands cannot be entered this way,
but must be entered by pressing Ctrl P followed by the key(s) required
to produce the correct value.
Sometimes you wish to overtype two characters to produce a different
character. Whether this works depends on your printer. To do this, you
must separate the two characters by the Backspace character Ctrl H. To
enter this value, you must use the Ctrl P method. For example, you
could print a cent character by overtyping c and │ :
type c Ctrl P H │
On most printers this should produce c with a line through it:
c│
