BS1/2 ^

The half backspace function is used to fit a correct word in a line after erasing

a misspelled word that was one character shorter or longer than the correct

word (example: replacing fomulas with formulas or minnor with minor).

Delete the entire misspelled word.

If thg^xleleted word was shorter than the correct word, align the carrier up

with the first letter of the deleted word; if it was longer, align the carrier with

the second letter of the deleted word.

Press [CODE] -i- [BS 1/2] to move the carrier half a space to the left.

Type in the correct word. Because of the half-backspace function, the

corrected word is perfectly centered within the blank space left by the

deleted word.
