Advanced

Functions

S3CLDUd

This

section

deals

with

the

most

advanced

functions

available

on

this

word pro-

cessor

with

the

WP

application.

These

functions

will

enable

you

to

further

improve

the

overall

quality

of

your

documents

and

eliminate

most

of

the

mechani-

cal

tasks.

Double

column

printing

is

used

to

automatically

print

a

document

in

two

columns.

The

dual

screen

function

allows

you

to

work

simultaneously

on

two

different

doc-

uments

at

the

same

time.

This

function

is

available

only

on

the

WP-1700MDS.

The

layout

function

displays

three

or

six

pages

of

text

at

a

time,

in

a

compressed

form

so

that

you

can

have

an

idea

of

the

general

aspect

of

your

document.

You

can

also

use

this

function

to

display

an

entire

frame

on

screen.

The

merge

function

is

used

to

automatically

print

many

copies

of

a

document,

each

copy

including

individual

changes

such

as

names

and

addresses.

Double

Column

Printing

This

function

allows

you

to

print

your

text

in

magazine

style,

with

two

columns

across

the

page.

A

page

on

the

screen

will

be

printed

as

a

column

on

paper.

In

other

words,

two

pages

will

be

printed

on

a

single

sheet

of

paper,

the

first

page

as

the

left

column

and

the

second

page

as

the

right

column.

When

formatting

your

document

for

double

column

printing,

reduce

the

distance

between

margins

so

that

both

columns

and

the

space

between

columns

can

fit

on

the

paper.

The

margins

for

the

document

should

be

set

for

one

column.

Use

12

or

15

pitch

in

order

to

fit

more

text

on

a

line.

NOTES:

•

Double

column

printing

does

not

work

with

merge

printing.

Merge

symbols

as

well

as

stop

symbols

are

ignored

during

double

column

printing,

and

replaced

with

blank

spaces.

•

To

ensure

proper

column

alignment,

the

document

must

not

contain

any

mar-

gin,

pitch,

or

line

-spacing

changes.

It

may,

however,

contain

any

number

of

keyboard

and

tab

stop

changes.

Proceed

as

you

would

to

print

a

text

file

in

standard

format.

(See

"Starting

File

Print"

on

page

72.)

2.

When

the

print

menu

screen

appears,

set

the

DOUBLE

COLUMNS

to

YES.

If

nec-

essary,

set

the

SPACE

BET(ween)

COLUMNS

(the

default

is

five

blank

spaces

and

the

available

range

is

from

1

to

50).

At

this

point,

you

can

also

change

other

settings

on

the

menu

as

well,

but

you

must

not

set

the

MERGE

PRINT

option

to

YFS.
