Basic Wordprocessing
Auto Save
The document you are creating or editing remains in your typewriter’s memory only as
long as the power is switched on. However, power failures can occur, and it can be very
frustrating if you lose several hours’ wor1< when workmen dig through a cable outside your
home or office,
To minimize losses during power failures, your typewriter has an auto save function that
saves your document as an
AUTO SAVE FILE
on disk after every 2000 characters that
you type. This means that the most text you can lose is 1999 characters, which is typically
less than half a page (depending on margins, pitch and line spacing).
When you save the document in the normal way, the auto save file is deleted.
Recovering An Auto Save File
When you switch on your typewriter with a disk inserted in the drive, it checks if there
is an
AUTO SAVE FILE
on the disk. If there is, the following message appears:
^P0U.

the

edit if required, then save it as a normal file.
If you press

the auto save file will be deleted.
The Wordprocessor Screen
The previous section showed you how to select
WP
mode, create a simple, one-line
document and save it. When you start to create longer documents, you will need to know
how to find your way around the document.
Y ou can think of the machine's memory as a large page on which your document is typed,
and the display screen as a (small) window which gives you a view onto part of that page.
