points:

          text-only) or DOC (derivation

          characterizes another bitik in each

          keyboard port.

Exit to the main menu - Space.

6. Overlay - loading overlays. To
to generate load on the overlay
drive should be a file named
w.wor3_0.add. Otherwise you'll get a dirty message. After the 
first podgruzki will show you the number version and the number 
of overlays in the module Additions and asked to choose

one of them. For example, the message type
"ZX-WinWord v3.0 Modul v1.2" means
that work is carried out with models
designed to work together with
Editor version 3.0 (AND NO OTHER!), the module has the version 
number 1 in the its structure has two overlay. Any additional 
information, as well as learn about new versions of add-ons you 
can learn from the authors to the address below. The transition 
from page to page in the same way as for the load. 


  Under the main menu bar is
Status Line, which reports information on mode of the editor. 
Left to right: 

- ENG / LAT / GRAPHICS - current alphabet
Rus-sky / Latin / symbols pseudographics.

- CAPS / ____ - mode uppercase / lowercase
letters.

- INS. / OVER - insert mode / overlay
character at the cursor position.

- MODE: DOC - display mode of text
DOC or TXT.

- Xx - decimal code for the character under the cursor.


  It's all in the editing mode, text mode editing template, all
slightly differently:

- PAGE: xxx - current page number.

- SPRITE: aaa / bbb - the current number
sprite (aaa) and the total number of sprites in the table (bbb).

- X = xxx - x coordinate of this sprite.

- Y = yyy - y coordinate of this sprite.



    Now, a few general points

    ------------------------------
1. As already mentioned, with version 2.0 introduced the 
concept of "attribute by default." He you need for what would 
be promptly change the basic color of the document. For 
example, the text was green and you want make it yellow. In 
previous versions of you had to climb throughout the text and

pass the color. Now you have enough
paint the desired area, or the word
"Attribute by default, and ... and all changes can be made from 
the item Setup, the main menu. "Attribute Default" corresponds 
to the attribute codes of 0 and 255.


2. With version 3.0, as I mentioned, the concept of "font by 
default." This Thing you will be very helpful if

when you need to draw all or almost
the entire text of a font. Just want to
say that the default font to become active only at the 
beginning of the page and before the first switch the font to 
_etoy zhe_ page.


3. Under the text, graphics, template discharged
own memory locations, so they
maximum size of each other does not.

4. The document is saved in its own
format, with the addition of one official
sector, which contains all the necessary information to the 
editor for the normal identification document. In addition to 
the text, of course, the file contains the template and the 
table of sprites. 

5. Since the maximum length of the document
as a whole could reach 384 (!!!) sector, the program introduced 
the concept of faylasatellita - file, located directly behind 
the main, have the extension "1" and employees ONLY (!!!) For 
what would be fooled by TR-DOS. The main file and the 
file-editor of the satellite are considered as a whole (!!!), 
And therefore always have a satellite be located behind the 
main one. 

6. If you type a file name to delete
all characters and press ENTER (ie enter
empty string), then the disk access is not
happen. If, for example, you sluchyno
fell into the regime SAVE DOC., and write something
did not want, then enter an empty
row (but not a string of spaces), you return to the main menu.

7. As mentioned above, the editor understands mode DOC few 
official code combinations. Until you are only really two: the 
color management - code 16 is followed by a byte

attributes, and font management - code 1
followed by the number font. They can be
how to type in the mode of TXT (through
Command), where they will be perceived
as a normal character (this applies to all
code combinations), and through the hot key mode DOC. In 
addition, not "work", but "cost" three

combination: 2 (+ 1 byte) 4 (+ 1 byte);
18 (+ 3 bytes).


               Conclusion

               ---------
