Word Pack ROM
=============

Introduction
------------
A combined text editor/word processor for the Atom

The Atom Word Pack is ideal for the preparation of leaflets, letters,
booklets and documents. Text can be edited, saved on cassette or disk
and printed out in any desired format. BASIC programs, and data created
by programs can also be edited. There is no limit to the size of document
that can be created, as large documents can be broken into sections of
convenient size.

The Word Pack is supplied in a 4K ROM which simply plugs into the 
Atom's utility ROM socket. The ROM adds the commands EDIT and TEXT
to the Atom's command set, and these commands can be inserted in
programs. The EDIT command enters the text editor/word processor. The
TEXT command stores text to the editor's text area, so that output
generated by programs, or by the LIST command, can subsequently be edited.

The Word Pack comes complete with a 16-page booklet giving full
instructions and examples of use.



Text Editor
-----------
The text editor uses the Atom's high-resolution screen to display the text,
with full upper and lower case. Editing commands are all single keystrokes;
they allow text to be added anywhere in the document, deleted, or moved,
using a cursor to specify the required position. Any part of the document can
be viewed, and the editor includes a "find" command which will search fr a
string, and replace all or selected occurrences of it by another string; thus, for example, spelling mistakes can be corrected throughout the text
with a single command.

Word Processor
--------------
The processor commands can be inserted into the text to give great
flexibility in how it is printed. Pages can be printed in any format, with
optional page numbers, and sections can be justified as required. The
processor caters for most makes of printer, and for single-sheet printing the
processor can be made to wait for a keypress after each page.
