Word Wrap
The Word Wrap function is turned on and off in Document mode by pressing the F2
(Word Wrap) key. This parameter, like other format parameters, is saved when the display
is removed from Document mode and returns to its last state when the display returns to
Document mode. The Word Wrap symbol (
) indicates that word wrapping is in effect.
When the function is on, text entry is subject to word wrapping between the left and right
margins.
Word wrapping occurs when a word being entered would extend beyond the right margin.
When the character is entered that would go beyond the right margin, the entire word is
moved down one line and to the left margin. If a space is entered in the position one
character left of the right margin, the cursor is moved to the left margin of the next line
without word wrapping. If the cursor is one space left of the right margin and the Dup
key is pressed, the Dup character appears on the right margin and the Dup function
works as defined outside of Document mode.
The positions previously occupied by the first part of the word are replaced by space
characters. When a word is wrapped to the left margin of the next line, any null characters
to the left of the left margin are changed to space characters to preserve the format when
it is sent to the host CPU.
Word wrapping does not occur unless the entire row onto which the word is wrapped
contains only nulls or spaces. In some cases word wrapping cannot occur. In these cases,
input is inhibited and the status row shows the Too Much symbol (
X
). Press the
Reset key for additional entry. The following conditions prevent word wrapping:
• The word takes up the entire length of the line.
• There is already text on the next line.
• The current line is the last line on the screen.
• The next line begins with a protected field.
