Word Wrap

The Word Wrap function is turned on and off in Document mode by pressing the F2 (Word Wrap) key. This parameter, like other format parameters, is saved when the display is removed from Document mode and returns to its last state when the display returns to Document mode. The Word Wrap symbol ( ) indicates that word wrapping is in effect. When the function is on, text entry is subject to word wrapping between the left and right margins.

Word wrapping occurs when a word being entered would extend beyond the right margin. When the character is entered that would go beyond the right margin, the entire word is moved down one line and to the left margin. If a space is entered in the position one character left of the right margin, the cursor is moved to the left margin of the next line without word wrapping. If the cursor is one space left of the right margin and the Dup key is pressed, the Dup character appears on the right margin and the Dup function works as defined outside of Document mode.

The positions previously occupied by the first part of the word are replaced by space characters. When a word is wrapped to the left margin of the next line, any null characters to the left of the left margin are changed to space characters to preserve the format when it is sent to the host CPU.

Word wrapping does not occur unless the entire row onto which the word is wrapped contains only nulls or spaces. In some cases word wrapping cannot occur. In these cases,

input is inhibited and the status row shows the Too Much symbol ( X ). Press the Reset key for additional entry. The following conditions prevent word wrapping:

The word takes up the entire length of the line.

There is already text on the next line.

The current line is the last line on the screen.

The next line begins with a protected field.
