Reshaping can be turned off altogether with the AS ON SCREEN option.
Sometimes, as in the letter to Auntie Edna, you may want most of your text to
be reshaped into wider lines but some of it (i.e. the address) to be left as it
appeared on the screen. To ensure that these parts are left alone, you should
'fix' the appropriate lines (rather as you do when centring) by pressing the TAB
key. An exclamation mark (!) appears at the top of the screen to show you when
the cursor is on a fixed line. Lines marked by the CENTRE function key will
adjust to the centre of all page widths.
Print options, and any centred or fixed lines, are saved with each text so that
identical printouts can be made quickly every time the texts are reloaded.
1 Page length
This sets the number of lines (from 5 up to 999) that will be printed before you
are prompted to insert a new sheet of paper. To change the page length: press
number key 1 and type in a new value followed by .
2 Width
This sets the maximum number of characters (from 15 up to 80) that may be
printed on each line. To change the line width: press number key 2 and type in
a new value followed by .
Note: Line width cannot be altered if the AS ON SCREEN option has been
selected.
3 Justify
When ON this stretches each line to reach the right-hand margin producing
regular blocks of text. 'Centred' and 'fixed' lines and the last lines of paragraphs
are not affected. Press number key 3 to switch the JUSTIFY facility on or off.
4 Double space
When ON a blank line will be printed between each line of the text. Press
number key 4 to switch the DOUBLE SPACE facility on or off.
5 Lonely lines
Occasionally a heading or the first line of a paragraph appears at the foot of a
printed page. This facility attempts to identify such 'lonely lines' and to move
them to a more logical position at the beginning of the next printed page. Press
number key 5 to switch the LONELY LINES facility on or off.
6 As on screen
When ON the text will be printed with the same width as the WRITE screen
(te. 35 characters per line). AS ON SCREEN may be used with or without the
JUSTIFY facility. Press number key 6 to switch the AS ON SCREEN facility
on or off.
