5 PRINTING WITH LW
LW's print processor is one of the most comprehensive of any Atari word processor.
Useful features abound to make life easier when printing complex documents.
5.1 PREVIEWING TEXT
<CTRL+V> Preview printed pages. Text is sent to a 20 line, 80 column
window almost exactly as it will appear when printed. Page breaks
appear as rows of dashes, and page wait is active if selected.
Pause the output with <CTRL+1> or by holding down <SELECT>
or <OPTION>. Pressing <START> at any time will skip to the next
page, and <BREAK> will return you to the editor.
5.2 KEEPING TRACK OF PAGINATION
<CTRL+?> "Where's the cursor on the printed page?" This is an innovation
also seen on TextPro, and simply prints the page and line number
of the text under the cursor.
5.3 EDITOR PRINT COMMANDS
<SHIFT+CTRL+P> Print text. This brings up a menu of 3 choices. Pressing "P" will
send text straight to the printer. Choosing "S" previews text in
exactly the same way as <CTRL+V> from the editor. "D" allows
you to type a filename and send formatted output to disk or
another device (default filename extender is "PRN"). Note that the
preview screen always becomes active when printing documents.
Output can be abandoned by pressing <BREAK>.
