Typing on the Display Type your text just as you would on a typewriter. The text appears on the screen instead of being printed on paper. If you make a mistake, use or PiWI to delete. For more details about corrections, see "Revising Text - Basic Functions" on page 33. You can print your text after you have created it. See "Printing a Document" on page 71. When your text is complete, see "Saving a File" on page 68. Hot Zone The last six columns before the right margin are defined as the "hot zone". The symbol on the scale corresponds to the point at which a typewriter bell would ring to warn you that you are about to run into the right margin. The word processor knows how to break text so that it automatically "wraps" to the next line. Word Wrap The "word wrap" function allows you to type a paragraph continuously without being concerned about carrier returns. In the hot zone, when a word is going to extend beyond the right margin, the word and the cursor will be moved to the next line automatically. You need only to press gfflis to break a line and start a new paragraph. The word wrap function is always active on the word processor. This feature permits continuous typing and helps build typing speed. The text cursor automatically moves to the next line whenever a space or hyphen is typed in the hot zone. Space vs. Permanent Space (SPACE BAR) CODE (SPACE BAR) Spaces entered by pressing gigg:M3 are word separators called "soft" spaces. When entered in the hot zone, they force the cursor to move to the next line. In justify mode, the "soft' spaces are adjusted to produce an even right mar- gin. (See "Automatic Justification" on page 56.) Permanent spaces entered by pressing are special spaces that link words together, protecting them from being separated on different lines. A permanent space is displayed with the symbol and is considered part of the two words it links. Such a space is never adjusted by the automatic justification function - and does not cause the cursor to jump to the next line when entered in the hot zone.
