PRINT Menu: Print Current Document Print from Disk "Print Current Document" (ALT P) prints your document on your printer (it saves it in a temporary file on disk and prints that file). "Print from Disk" (CTRL P) prints a document from your data disk. PRINT Menu: Form Letter Close all documents before selecting this option. A form letter is just like a regular WORD WRITER document except that numbers printed in the light typeface are used to pull in lines of data from a data file (see LETTER.DOC). See ADR.ASC for an example of how to set up a data file. These data files must be saved in ASCII format. PRINT Menu: Form Letter (continued) When you select the form letter option, an ITEM SELECTOR box will appear to select the form letter you wish to print. After this is done, a dialog box titled FORM LETTER PRINTING will appear. This is the same box that appears when you print a normal document except that the first line says: "Datafile: lines/record." PRINT Menu: Form Letter (continued) Enter the number of data variables required for your form letter. For example, if you enter the number 8, the first 8 lines of data will be used in the first form letter, the second set of 8 lines will be used in the second letter, and so on. For this reason, each data record must have the same number of lines, including blanks. Otherwise, the letters will print incorrectly. PRINT Menu: Form Letter (continued) Once the number of lines per record is answered, another ITEM SELECTOR box will appear asking you for the name of the data file to be merged with your form letter. Select your data file to begin printing. To pause or cancel Form Letter printing press and hold one of the mouse buttons. PRINT Menu: Page Layout Header Content Footer Content "Page Layout" allows you to specify the page length and the placement of headers and footers on your printed page. "Header Content" and "Footer Content" allow you to edit the header and footer lines for your document. PRINT Menu: Select Printer Your program disk contains files used to set up printers with WORD WRITER. "Select Printer" allows you to choose a file for your printer. You must use this option before printing a document. If you used the "WWINSTALL" program to create a PRINTER.CFG file, the file will be loaded automatically when you load the program, and you will not need to use "Select Printer". Printout Specifications When you print a file, a dialog box is displayed allowing you to select various options before printing the file. You can select the number of copies to be printed and whether to output to the printer or to the disk (for later use with a telecommunications program). Printout Specifications (continued) The "From page" and "To page" fields allow you to print out just part of the file. The "First Page Numbered" field allows you to select the first page number to be used when numbering the document. Printout Specifications (continued) You can turn page numbering on or off, and you can specify whether it should be at the top or bottom of the page, and at the left, center, or right of the line. The "Text for Page Number" field controls the style of the page number. The ^ character in this field is replaced by the page number when it is printed. Printout Specifications (continued) The "Book Printout" option prints headers and footers as you would see them in a book, on opposite sides of alternate pages. The "Left Margin Position" allows you to add extra space at the left margin when printing the file.
