Basic Wordprocessing

Auto Save

The document you are creating or editing remains in your typewriter’s memory only as

long as the power is switched on. However, power failures can occur, and it can be very

frustrating if you lose several hours’ wor1< when workmen dig through a cable outside your

home or office,

To minimize losses during power failures, your typewriter has an auto save function that

saves your document as an AUTO SAVE FILE on disk after every 2000 characters that

you type. This means that the most text you can lose is 1999 characters, which is typically

less than half a page (depending on margins, pitch and line spacing).

When you save the document in the normal way, the auto save file is deleted.

Recovering An Auto Save File

When you switch on your typewriter with a disk inserted in the drive, it checks if there

is an AUTO SAVE FILE on the disk. If there is, the following message appears:

^P0U.ìEH:'

FfiILURE= = =REC0UE

------------------------------

R hUTu SSUE FILE':'

PRESS filN OR CfiNCEL=

If you press [RETURN], the AUTO SAVE FILE will be loaded into memory, and you can

edit if required, then save it as a normal file.

If you press [CODE] + [CANCEL], the auto save file will be deleted.

The Wordprocessor Screen

The previous section showed you how to select WP mode, create a simple, one-line

document and save it. When you start to create longer documents, you will need to know

how to find your way around the document.

Y ou can think of the machine's memory as a large page on which your document is typed,

and the display screen as a (small) window which gives you a view onto part of that page.
