Paint
PAINT allows you to move more or less than whole single lines.
Press the arrow keys to place the cursor on the (first) word you wish to move.
Press the function key labelled PAINT. That single word will now be painted
yellow (highlighted) and may be moved alone. You can also spread the paint
using the arrow keys:
-----> spreads the paint to the next word on that line
<---- spreads the paint to the previous word on that line
v spreads the paint to the next whole line
^ spreads the paint the previous whole line
Use to
unpaint text.
When PAINT is being used the PAINT symbol appears at the top of the screen.
It may be switched off by pressing the PAINT key again.
In order to move painted text simply press the TUG function key and use the
arrow keys as outlines for the TUG.
Note: The TUG and PAINT operations require that at least three clear lines
remain at the bottom of a text.
Copying text
It is possible to copy text from an upper part of the screen to a lower part. The
original text will not be moved or deleted.
Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the place where you want the copy to
appear. Tap at
the bottom right of the keyboard once. The COPY symbol
will appear at the top of the screen and a second cursor will be created.
Use the arrow keys to move the smaller cursor through the text and place it at
the beginning of the section you wish to copy.
Keep pressing
until you have copied all the text you require.
Press
to clear the COPY function when you have finished-
WRITE, READ AND WRITE and the SLATE
There are three screen displays which offer different facilities for writing and
manipulating text: WRITE, READ AND WRITE and the SLATE. All three are
reached by simply pressing the labelled function key at the top of the keyboard.
You may well find yourself switching frequently between the three when
working on a single document.
