WORD PROCESSING SOFTWARE
Word processing is the family of programs that package text in forms understandable by your microcomputer, its display monitor, and various printers. Popular word processing programs include Wordstar, the Electric Pencil, Easywriter, Word Handler, Perfect Writer, etc. (Note: Each of these programs is the copyrighted property and registered trademark of the companies that own them. They are mentioned here only as examples of commercially available word processing programs.)
Most of the popular word processing programs were written a few years ago, when printers were simpler devices, capable of performing far fewer options than are available with Gemini.
For example, most current word processing programs can send function codes for printing “bold” type
Don’t be discouraged if you bought a word processing package and it seems inadequate to utilize Gemini’s full capabilities. Gemini can do just about anything your word processing software can tell it to do, and then some. There are four solutions to the problem.
The BASIC Solution
One solution to the limitations of word processing software is not to use it when you want to make full use of Gemini’s potential performance. You can learn BASIC and put it to work.
