Scale The scale on the screen of the word processor is the electronic equivalent of the scale on the top of a typewriter, which assists the operator in determining the position of characters on a page. The numbers indicate the position from the left edge of the paper. Other symbols remind you of some format settings (example: L and R indicate the position of the left and right margin). (For a complete list, see "Symbols" on page 138.) NOTES: • By default, the scale is disabled. To display the scale, see the example under the title "Menu" on page 24. Text Area Your Document (in memory) The Screen Window The screen window can be moved to show any part of the document. The bulk of the screen is your work area, a window into your document. Although it only shows a few lines of 79 characters at a time, if your document is longer or wider, you can move the window up, down, left, and right. The only part you cannot use is the "dead column" (to the left of column 0), which the word processor reserves for the "format change" symbol t . Other symbols appear in the text to remind you of the format functions that you used, but will not be printed. (For a complete list, see "Symbols" on page 138.) Text and Scale Cursors A lighted square, the text cursor, indicates your current position in the text area. Another cursor, the scale cursor, is an underline that indicates your position relative to the left of the scale and follows horizontal movement of the text cursor. 22

The

the
electronic
equivalent
of
the

the
top

which
assists
the
operator
in
determining
the
position
of
characters
on
a
page.
The
numbers
indicate
the
position
from
the
left
edge
of
the
paper.
Other
symbols
remind
you
of
some
format
settings
(example:
L
and
R
indicate
the
position
of
the
left
and
right
margin).
(For
a
