Breaking Lines and
Inserting Sentences
In the first paragraph you replace a smaller amount of text with a larger
amount. To do this replacement you must break the lines differently and
insert some blank space within the paragraph in which to put the extra text.
The SENTENCE INSERT command is useful for both procedures: breaking
a line at the cursor position and inserting a blank line of space.
Refer to Figure 4-2 to recall the editing planned for the letter. Follow these
steps and look at the following examples.
1. Put the cursor on the third line in the paragraph, the one that starts
with “A.M.”
2. You should still have the INSERT command on the status line. Press
SENTENCE three times. (You could use the
RETURN key with the
BREAKLINE function instead of SENTENCE INSERT if you want. Or,
in this example you could use INSERT plus LINE to do the same thing.)
3. Type the two sentences shown in the next example. Remember to use
the terminal
TAB key to return to the next line; do not use the RETURN
key.
