4. Press *C again. TEDIT copies all the lines from the TABLE file into the
scratchpad of DOCUMENT, the current file.
5. Position the cursor where you want the text from the TABLE file to
begin—in this case, leave the cursor where it is, in the HOME position.
6. The next step is to retrieve the text. First, go to the RECONFIGURE
OPTIONS screen and make sure auto word wrap is set to OFF. Or, you
can disable auto word wrap and retrieve the text in one step; see the
following example.

Before you press RETRIEVE, you must make sure that the auto word wrap
function is OFF. Otherwise, when you retrieve the text, TEDIT adjusts the
lines to the align width set on the RECONFIGURE OPTIONS screen; this
makes the table quite unreadable.
To avoid this problem, assign to the RETRIEVE key three commands that
set auto word wrap OFF, retrieve text, and then set auto word wrap back
ON. Use the series of commands shown in the next example.
F10: SET AUTO WORD WRAP,OFF; RETRIEVE; SET AUTO WORD WRAP,ON
You can abbreviate
AUTO WORD WRAP
to AUTO W.
SET is the abbreviation
for SETPROFILE.
7. Press RETRIEVE. TEDIT retrieves the text into the DOCUMENT file at
the cursor position.
