4 The Word Processor Reference 
 
Printing, Spell Checking, the Thesaurus, the Outliner, Mail Merging,
Troubleshooting and the Glossary are covered in greater detail in
subsequent chapters.  This chapter presents a straight alphabetic 
reference to WW's most used features.  We have tried to list each
feature under the word we think you would look for.  Where we weren't
sure, we have cross-referenced.

Boldface, Turn On/Off [CRTL B/C= B] 
 
To turn on Boldfacing, press [CRTL B].  A highlighted capital letter
"B"will be inserted at the cursor location and all the following text
will be printed in boldface.  To turn boldface off, position the
cursor after the last character to be boldfaced and press [C= B].  A
highlighted lower case "b" will be inserted to indicate where the
boldfacing will end. 
 
In Font mode, the bold style is created by WORD WRITER.  In TEXT mode,
the bold style must be supported by your printer.  WW simply sends the
codes defined in the Printer Codes Window, [C=  (Britsh Pound)].

Calculator [CRTL 3] 
 
The Calculator work like an ordinary pocket calculator.  It performs
simple math operations--add [+], subtract [-], multiply [*], divide
[/], raise to a power [^] and change sign [:].  After you've made your
calculation by pressing [=], you can enter the result directly into
your text by pressing [T].  To exit Calculator, press [RUN/STOP]. 
 
To use the Calculator: 
 
1. Press [CRTL 3] and the Calculator will appear on the screen. 
 
2. Type in a number--"999", for example.  The numbers will appear in
the calculator display. 
 
3. Press one of the math operation keys, such as [/].  It will appear
by the calculator display. 
 
4. Then enter the second number--"3", for example.  It will appear
in the calculator display. 
 
5. Press [=] and the results--in this case "333"--will appear in the
calculator display.  
 
6. To enter this answer in the current document, press [=] and then
[T].  The answer will appear in your document at the cursor location. 
 
 
Caps Lock [C= C] 
 
WORD WRITER allows you to toggle between all uppercase (CAPITAL)
letters and upper and lowercase letters.  The default mode is
lowercase, using the [SHIFT] key the create individual capital
letters.  To toggle to all uppercase letters, press [C= C].  The
letter C on the Status line will be highlighted.  Pressing [SHIFT
] now gives lowercase letters.  To change back, Press [C= C] again.
This does not affect the number keys as does [SHIFT/LOCK]. 
 
 
Case, Changing 
 
To change any of your text to all UPPER or all lower case letter,
press [C= 1] or [C= 2] to select a block of text.  Your highlighted
block cannot begin with a check mark line.  When you have selected
the text (just as with the Move and Copy commands), press [C= C].
You will see the prompt "UPPER OR LOWER CASE? (U/L)." 
 
Press [U] for upper case, [L] for lower case, or [RUN/STOP] if you
change your mind.  Numbers and symbols are not affected. 
 
 
Centering Text (Check Mark) CENTER 
 
To center lines of text, press [CRTL  (BR. POUND)], to enter a check
mark.  Type CENTER and press return.  All following text will be
centered until the next formatting check mark is inserted.  NOTE:
(CHECK MARK) LEFT is the default style.  Check marks can be deleted
by deleting the entire line--[CRTL 7].

    arrow]Right) 
g   for graphic (ckmkg,lm,n,filename.pic, or 
    ckmkG,lm,f,filename.pic) with 
    lm for the lm, n for Normal, f for Flipped, and the 
    file name of the 
    graphic.  See the section on Graphics for details. 
h   for headers (ckmkh,lm,ll,Left[up arrow]Center[up     
    arrow]Right) 
j   for justify text (ckmkJ) 
l   for left aligned text only (ckmkl) 
m   for margins (ckmkm,lm,ll) with lm representing the left 
    margin, and ll representing the line length. 
n   for linked printing, [ckmkn,filename) with the next 
    file name to be attached at this point.  Available 
    in TEXT mode only. 
p   for forcing a page break (ckmkp) 
r   for right aligned text (ckmkr) 
s   for spacing of lines.  In FONT mode, the command 
    ckmks,nn represents leading, with "nn" a value in 
    points.  In typesetting, a point is equal to 1/72nd 
    of a vertical inch.  Spacing must be between 0 and 15 
    or it will be ignored.  In TEXT mode, nn represents 
    single, double, and triple spacing, where nn stands for 
    a number (eg. 1, 2 or 3).

Disk Commands [C= 8] 
 
When you first enter the Disk Commands option, if there is an error
condition on the data drive, the error code will be displayed on the
Status line.  Press any key to clear a displayed error before
entering a disk command. 
 
Disk commands are instructions that you send to your disk drive via
your computer.  The following is a list of some of the more common
commands and the syntax you must enter to use these commands from WW.
Also consult your disk drive user's manual.  The 0 in each of the
following disk command formats represents a disk drive number.  If
you are using drive 1 of a dual drive, enter 1 in these formats;
otherwise, enter 0 (the number zero). 
 
The SCRATCH (Delete Files) command--Tells your drive to erase a
specific file.  To scratch a file on a disk, press [C= 8].  In
response to "ENTER DISK COMMAND?," enter s0: followed by the name of
the file you want to scratch.  (If you have used the Scratch command
on a disk three time, use the Validate command on that disk before
scratching another file.) 
 
The NEW (Format) command--Instructs the disk drive to erase completely
all of the information on the disk currently in your drive.  This is
commonly referred to as formatting a disk.  You can then use that
blank disk with any program that you like.  To format, or "NEW" a
disk, press [C= 8].  In response to the prompt, "ENTER DISK
COMMAND?," enter n0: followed by the new name you want to assign to 
your disk, followed by a comma and a two-character identification code
that you assign.  For example, you might enter n0:work disk,wd. 
 
The RENAME command--To rename a file press, [C= 8].  "ENTER DISK
COMMAND?" will appear on the Status line at the top of your screen.
Type r0:newname=oldname where newname is the new name for the file
and oldname is the current name of the file. 
 
The INITIALIZE command--Resets the internal workings of your disk
drive and clears any error light.  To execute this command, press
the [C= 8] keys.  Then, in response to "ENTER DISK COMMAND?" enter
i0.  Your disk drive will be initialized.
 
 
The VALIDATE command--Instructs the drive to remove damaged files
and to make sure that any available space on the disk is accounted
for.  You may be able to fit more files onto that disk.  To validate
a disk, press [C= 8].  In response to "ENTER DISK COMMAND?," enter
v0.  You disk will be validated. 
 
 
Disk Directory, Viewing [C= V] or [CRTL 0] 
 
In WORD WRITER, you have two different way to view your disk
directories. 
 
To view the entire Disk Directory-- a list of all the files on your
disk--press [CRTL 0].  When finished, press any key to continue. 
 
To scan the disk directory for a list of only files you have created
(SEQ files), press [C= V].

or [C= P].  Press A to set the PRINT FONTS option, to "Y". 
 
When you switch from TEXT mode to FONT mode and vice versa, your
document is reformatted to reflect how it will print in that mode.
You'll always know where and how each line and each page will print. 
 
In FONT mode, while the fonts themselves are not displayed on the
screen, the screen will always reflect the correct number of words
on each line and the number of lines on each page. 
 
 
Font Tokens, Entering [CRTL F] (FONT mode only) 
 
You must be in FONT mode in order to enter fonts in your documents.
To selected fonts in FONT mode, press [CRTL F].  The FONTS menu will
appear with the name of the current font highlighted. 
 
Press the number of the desired font, or use [UP/DOWN ARROWS] to
highlight the font and press [RETURN] to select the font.  The
selected font will begin at the cursor position within your document. 
 
The default fonts in FONT mode are: 
 
1) RACINE 12 
2) DEERFIELD 10 
3) DEERFIELD 12 
4) DESPLAINES 10 
5) DESPLAINES 12 
6) DESPLAINES 36 
7) WILMETTE 36 
8) RAVINIA 18

Graphics, Adding 
 
To create documents containing graphics, follow these steps.
Remember, you must be in FONT mode to print graphics in WORD WRITER. 
 
1. Be sure the graphic files are on your WORK disk with your fonts
and printer driver.  All of the graphics in the Art Library have file
names ending with .pic.  You can use WORD WRITER's INSTALL program
to copy these files to the WORK disk you wish to use.  See Chapter 2
for instructions.  (If you use another file copy program, it should
work fine.) 
 
2. Enter you graphic printing check mark command.  Place your cursor
on the line where you would like the artwork to begin and press [CRTL
(BR. POUND)] to insert a check mark.  For example, you might enter. 
 
ckmkG,10,n,baseball.pic 
 
* The G specifies a graphic print command. 
 
* 10 is the graphic's left margin; a graphic with a left margin of
10 will print one inch (units are tenths of inches, like text margins)
from the left edge of the page. 
 
* N, the flip specification, means the graphic is printed normally.
Place an F here to print the graphic flipped right to left. 
 
* The last part of the check mark command is the graphic's file name.
Remember, a file name may not contain spaces for this command to work
correctly. 
 
------------------- 
NOTE: Your document will print without the graphic if your graphic
printing check mark command is missing a margin of flip specification,
if you mistyped the graphic file name, or if the file is not on your
WORK disk. 
------------------- 
 
3. Next, you need to allow vertical space for the graphic.  The
easiest way to leave space is by pressing [RETURN] to enter blank
lines.  Included in the Art Library listing, you will find the height
of the graphic.  BASEBALL.PIC is 107 dots tall when printed.  Based
on the size of the current font, you can estimate how many text lines
the graphic will require. 
 
You can use the Height Conversion Chart included with the Art Library
supplement to find the number of lines needed.  For this example, if
the graphic is 107 dots tall and you're using a 14 point font, it will
require approximately 8 lines of text (alway round up, so graphics and
text don't overlap). 
 
4. WORD WRITER lets you print text to the left, right or even over
a graphic, depending on the text margins you define.  If you want
text to print next to the artwork, adjust your text margins with a
check mark command immediately below the graphic print command.  For
this example, assuming your text margins were set at ckmkM,10,60, you
might enter 
 
    ckmkM,23,47 
 
to move the text to the right side of the graphic.  Refer to the Art
Library supplement to convert the width of the graphic to the width
it will print for your printer (in tenths of inches, just like your
text and graphic margins). 
 
For example, BASEBALL.PIC is 160 dots wide.  This prints 13 tenths of
an inch wide on an Epson printer.  Since we have placed Baseball at a
left margin of 10, and it is 13 tenths of an inch wide, we can set
the text's left margin at 23 so it will begin just to the right of
the graphic. 
 
To make the graphic appear at the right of text, you could set the
graphic left margin at 57, and reduce he current line length by 13. 
 
------------------- 
NOTE: Commodore (and compatible) printers will print graphics
approximately twice as wide as Epson (and compatible) printers, as
they print fewer dots per inch.  Users of epson printers with GEOS
printer drivers, 1526 or MPS 802 printers will find that the print
width falls between the Epson and Commodore. 
------------------- 
 
Tips for Working with Graphics 
 
If you've unsure whether your printer is Epson or Commodore
compatible, perform a test printing (in FONT mode) of the
BASEBALL.PIC graphic.  An Epson compatible printer will print the
graphic tall and thin (as a baseball player should look).  A
Commodore compatible printer will print a much wider graphic
(The baseball player appears slightly stretched.) 
 
When you have allowed enough vertical space for the graphic, you
can enter another margin check mark command to return your text
margins to their previous settings. 
 
You can, of course, print text over the graphics for special effects. 
 
Although you may have several piece of art on a page, WORD WRITER
can print only ONE graphic in a given space.  If you place a second
graphic check mark in space allotted to the first, WW will stop
printing the first one, and begin the second. 
 
Graphics might be chopped of (or truncated) if they are too close to
the right margin you set for text, by at the 8" point of the paper. 
 
Art does not flow from one page to another.  When the printer reaches
the end of a page, the graphic will stop printing.  It will not
continue onto the next page. 
 
When you are printing fonts, you can use the ckmkE command to double
the size of your text.  This command will have no effect on graphics. 
 
Graphics in the Art Library 
 
WORD WRITER comes with 154 different graphics you can install on
your WORK disk.  All WW graphics end in .pic. 
 
Included in the Art Library are size conversion charts useful in
approximating the horizontal and vertical space you must allow for
each graphic. 
 
With each graphic, you will see its height and width in dots.  Use
these amounts when calculating the amounts of space to allow. 
 
Estimate the height by reserving enough vertical lines to total the
height of the graphic.  For example, if you are using a 12 point
font, and your graphic is 60 dots tall, reserve 5 lines vertically
(60/12 = 5 lines). 
 
To estimate the width, you can use the conversion chart in the Art
Library supplement (not included).  For art you create in GEOS or
DOODLE*, use the READGRAPH program included with WW.  This program
will provide the height and width in dots, as well as the printed
width in tenths of inches as in the conversion charts. 
 
Use WW's INSTALL program (or any file copy program you like) to copy
these graphics onto your WORK disk (with your fonts and printer
driver files).  WORD WRITER can only print graphics from that disk. 
 
See the instructions on "Graphics, Using Your Own" for information
on how to convert your own GEOS or DOODLE files. 
 
 
Graphs, Reading 
 
Readgraph, a utility program supplied with WW on the Program disk,
reads through any disk directory, and then displays (and prints, if
you choose) horizontal and vertical size information for all WW
graphic files.  (It will also identify document files and font files.)
This is useful if you create your own graphics and need size
information when placing the graphics into WORD WRITER documents.  The
Art Library supplement lists size information for each graphic
included with WW. 
 
To use Readgraph: 
 
1. Make sure you have exited WW.  Insert the Program disk into the
drive and type LOAD"READGRAPH",8 and press [RETURN]. 
 
2. You will see a explanation of the Readgraph program, followed by
"Send results to printer? (Y/N)."  Remove the Program disk and insert
the disk you want to read.  Press [Y] or [N] and Readgraph will check
the disk.  If any graph files are found, the information will be
presented. 
 
3. If you want to read another disk, when the Ready prompt appears,
type RUN and press [RETURN]. 
 
 
Graphics, Using Your Own 
 
If you have created graphic files in GEOS of DOODLE, you'll need to
convert them to WORD WRITER format before saving them onto you WORK
disk (with your fonts).  To convert these files: 
 
1. Exit WORD WRITER. 
 
2. Insert the Program disk and the type LOAD"GRAPHIC CONVERT",8 and
press [RETURN].  The Graphic Converter program will appear. 
 
to select the source format, press [F1] to toggle between GEOS Photo
Scrap, GEOS Photo Album, DOODLE and WW formats.  Art from GEOS
(versions 1.3 and 2.0) must be save as a Photo Scrap or Photo Album
(for details, see your GEOS manual).  If the graphic is in GEOS Photo
album format, use ALL UPPERCASE when naming the file in GEOS.  If the
Graphic is in DOODLE format, its file name must begin with "dd" for
the Converter to find and work with. 
 
4. When you have selected the format of your graphic, press [L] to move
the cursor to the Source File line and enter the file name you want to
load (for GEOS Photo Scraps, no file name is required, just insert the
correct disk).  If you can't remember the file name, or you're not sure
that it is on the current disk, press [RUN/STOP] and the [D] to view
the directory.  GEOS Photo Album file names are entered all lower,
although you saved it in GEOS all upper case. 
 
5. When the file has loaded, you can reverse it with the [F3] key, flip
it horizontally with the [F5] key or vertically with the [F7] key.
Press [F2] to toggle between the menu and the graphic.  In GEOS Photo
Album format, press [F8] to load the next picture in the album. 
 
6. When you're ready, press [S] to crop, or cut out, a portion of the
art and save it as a WW graphic.  Use the arrow keys to move the
cropping lines to the top and left border of the area you want to save
and then press [RETURN].  For faster movement, press [SHIFT] and the
[I], [J], [K], and [M] keys.  The cropping lines reappear so you can
set the bottom and right borders.  When the borders surround the 
correct area to be cropped, press [RETURN].  To save this graphic,
press [RETURN] again.  The menu reappears with the cursor in the Save
line (Destination file).  Type in a file name and press [RETURN] to
save it.  When you give the graphic a name, enter .pic at the end, as
in baseball.pic. 
 
The Graphic Convert program can also overwrite files.  When you save
a file, you can overwrite the file with a different graphic, but retain
the original file name.  You'll see this prompt "File Exist!  Scratch
old file? (Y/N)".  Press [Y] to overwrite the old file or [N] to return
to the Save Destination line and enter a new name. 
 
Now you can save it onto your WORK disk.  You can use the INSTALL
program or an file copy program to move your graphics to other disks.
