Advanced Functions
This section deals with the most advanced functions available on this word processor
with the WP application. These functions will enable you to further improve the overall
quality of your documents and eliminate most of the mechanical tasks.
Double Column printing is used to automatically print a document in two columns.
The dual screen function allows you to work simultaneously on two different
documents at the same time.
The layout function displays one full page of text at a time, in a compressed form so
that you can have an idea of the general aspect of your document. You can also use
this function to display an entire frame on screen.
The merge function is used to automatically print many copies of a document, each
copy including individual changes such as names and addresses.
Double Column Printing
This function allows you to print your text in magazine style, with two columns across
the page. A page on the screen will be printed as a column on paper. In other words,
two pages will be printed on a single sheet of paper, the first page as the left column
and the second page as the right column.
When formatting your document for double column printing, reduce the distance
between margins so that both columns and the space between columns can fit on the
paper. The margins for the document should be set for one column. Use 12 or 15
pitch in order to fit more text on a line.
NOTES:
•
Double column printing does not work with merge printing. Merge symbols
as
well as stop symbols are ignored during double column printing and replaced
with blank spaces.
•
To ensure proper column alignment, the document must not contain any margin,
pitch, or line-spacing changes. It may, however, contain any number of keyboard
and tab changes.
