`While useful for creating
`that
`are invaluable for preparing more complex documents There are facilities for defining and
`redefining page headers and footers inserting footnotes so theyll always fall on the correct
`page dividing the page into multiple columns that you can see while you edit and checking

`This chapter presents basic concepts
`related
`page formatting headers footers and footnotes
`The commands referred
`are described in detail
`in Chapter
`
`to in this chapter
`
`Documents
`
`WriteNow
`document
`can contain text entered in WriteNow and text or graphics pasted
`in from elsewhere Graphics are treated
`them anywhere
`the same way as text you can put
`you can put text and most operations
`that apply to text also apply to graphics
`
`You can view WriteNow document
`
`in window in three ways
`
`Page view shows the document
`as it will be printed including page breaks headers
`and multiple colunms Only the body of the pagenot headers
`footers footnotes
`footers or footnotescan
`be edited in this view
`
`Header/footer
`
`can edit headers
`
`view shows the headers and footers youve defined in the document You
`in this view only
`and
`footers
`
`Footnote view shows and lets you edit only the footnotes
`
`in the document
`
`Using commands in the View menu you can alternate
`between these three views
`document window the views arent displayed in different windows
`
`in the
`
`The document window contains the usual close and miniaturize buttons in its title bar
`vertical and horizontal scrollers and
`resize bar In addition to the scroll buttons
`and 11
`
`small
`
`increment
`
`the height of
`that scroll by
`contains
`line the vertical scroller
`typical
`and
`buttons which scroll windowful
`time The document window also
`at
`at the lower right
`field that displays the current page number and
`page number
`contains
`zoom button that allows you to magnify or reduce
`the view in the window as described
`below
`
`Tip The
`time if the window displays an entire
`page at
`page of text which you can ensure by choosing
`Fit Page with the zoom button
`
`buttons will scroll
`
`and
`
`the same time in WriteNow Most WriteNow
`You can have many documents open at
`commands apply to the document
`in the main window called the current document while
`
`Documents
`
`
`
`some apply to the key window which might not contain
`for example
`be the Print panel
`
`document The key window may

`Magnifying or Reducing the View
`
`the lower
`
`right of the document window enables you to magnify the
`The zoom button at
`you were reading it through
`documents
`size on the screen as though
`glass
`magnifying
`size on the screen You use the zoom button by
`Similarly you can reduce the documents
`list of options and then dragging to the option you want
`number
`pressing it to display
`number greater
`the size while
`than 100 magnifies
`it
`
`less than 100 reduces
`
`You can magnify or reduce
`
`the view of the document
`
`in three ways
`
`Choose
`
`number
`
`from the list
`
`from 25 to 200 in the panel
`number
`Choose the Set option and enter
`that appears
`From then on the number will be shown in numerical order in the list so you can easily
`choose
`
`it again
`
`the view so that
`Choose the Fit Page option which magnifies
`or reduces
`full page
`fits in the document window whatever
`the windows dimensions
`from the document
`
`Note If you use
`high level of magnification the document window might fill up with
`white space depending on what was visible in the window when you magnified the view
`so you might have
`to locate
`to scroll
`text or graphics
`
`Magnifying or reducing the view doesnt change the dimensions of the document window
`
`for example 10-point text will still be 10
`size of anything in the document
`be magnified
`to look like 14-point
`text on the screen
`
`it might

`
`The Page

`
`
`
`Note Theres
`small amount of empty space just below the header
`region and just above
`the footer region WriteNow balances
`these two amounts to be the same in the printed
`document
`
`although they might be slightly different
`
`on the screen
`
`on the left and right sides of the page These
`Finally binding margins may be specified
`margins initially have no width but they can be used to reserve blank space for binding
`The binding margins are specified with the Page Layout command in
`printed documents
`the Page menu and can alternate
`on odd and even pages
`
`can be divided into as many as four columns with the Page Layout
`documents
`pages
`command Each column has its own footnote region but theres only one header
`region
`footer region and pair of binding margins per page Binding margins play an important part
`in setting up documents with multiple columns see the description of the Page Layout
`command in Chapter
`for more information
`
`alternate
`
`Note Youll normally use binding margins only when you want
`the space for binding to
`on odd and even pages or when you create multiple-column document
`To set
`the left and right margins of paragraphs in the body header or footer region or footnote
`region of the page youll use the ruler
`
`The Page Number Field
`
`As you scroll
`the current page number
`through the pages of
`document
`is displayed in
`right of the document window the number shown refers to the page
`text field at the lower
`displayed at the top of the document window Even if only
`line of the page is visible at
`the
`top of the window the current page number
`to any other page
`refers to that page and not
`in the window The bottom of each page is separated from the top of the next page by
`dark gray strip
`
`You can move quickly to
`in the document by editing the page number
`given page
`show the desired page numberfor example by selecting
`the current number and
`retypingand then pressing the Return key When
`you click in the page number
`field the
`insertion point moves there and any selection
`in your document
`is deselected You can also
`move to
`the desired page number
`given page by dragging the scroll knob until
`in the page number
`field
`
`is displayed

`paragraph consists of text or graphics or both
`separated by Return or page break characters
`
`consists
`
`You insert
`
`Return character by pressing the Return key what you then type will
`new paragraph Typing two Returns
`appear on the next line Typing one Return starts
`blank line an empty paragraph There is always
`row inserts
`the end
`Return at
`of the document and at the end of each header footer or footnote definition
`
`in
`
`You insert
`Insert Page Break from the Page menu
`page break character by choosing
`what you then type will appear
`at the beginning of the next page
`
`As part of the word wrap process WriteNow automatically breaks lines between words at
`the right margin It breaks lines not only at spaces but also at hyphens
`soft hyphens
`produced with the Insert Soft Hyphen command in the Format menu and em dashes
`It doesnt break
`lines at nonbreaking
`spaces Alternate-space en
`Alternate-Shift-hyphen
`dashes Alternate-hyphen and characters in the Symbol
`font family including minus signs
`typed on the keypad
`
`Text

`is
`
`combination
`
`such as letters numbers and punctuation
`of printing characters
`marks and nonprinting characters
`such as spaces Returns and page break characters
`Printing characters are visible both on the screen and in the printed document Nonprinting
`see them on the screen
`characters appear
`as blank space in the printed document
`you can
`Show Space from the View menu
`by choosing
`
`is normally 12-point Helvetica Medium but you can change
`The font in
`new document
`these properties with the Font command You can also start out with different
`font
`propertiesin fact new documents
`can be set up any way you like for more information
`see the descriptions of the New command and the Preferences command in Chapter
`
`Selecting and Editing
`
`and editing techniques unique to WriteNow for
`This section summarizes the selecting
`see the NeXT Users Reference manual
`details on the standard techniques
`
`The cursor takes the shape of an I-beam wherever you can select and edit In page view
`is an I-beam in the body of the page but an arrow in the header and
`for example the cursor
`because you cant edit headers
`and footers
`in page view you can only edit
`regions
`them in header/footer view
`
`footer
`
`Paragraphs
`
`13
`
`
`
`The same selecting
`
`any combination
`
`and editing techniques that work with text also work with graphics or
`of text and graphics
`
`Positioning the Insertion Point
`
`In addition to positioning the insertion point by clicking with the mouse or pressing the
`arrow keys you can also position it by using the arrow keys in combination with other keys
`
`Holding down the Shift key while pressing an arrow key moves the insertion point in
`the indicated direction Pressing the left or right arrow key moves the insertion point
`one word to the left or right pressing the up or down arrow key moves it up or down
`line
`
`Holding down the Control key while pressing an arrow key moves the insertion point
`edge of the window If the insertion point is already at that edge
`to the corresponding
`in that direction and
`of the window WriteNow scrolls the document one windowful
`moves the insertion point to the same edge of the new windowful
`
`You cannot position the insertion point in an area where there are no characters
`line or the end of the document
`beyond the end of
`If you try to do this the insertion point
`will move to
`
`nearby position within the text

`Font Properties during Editing
`
`When you insert
`text by typing at the insertion point you can use the Font menu commands
`typeface and size of the text youre about
`to set the font properties including
`to type If
`you dont set them these properties will be the same as those of the preceding character
`with one exception When you type after clicking
`at the beginning of an existing paragraph
`the font properties will be the same as the first character of that paragraph
`
`Text
`
`font
`
`than type at the insertion point will keep its original
`that you paste rather
`properties unless the text was cut or copied from outside WriteNow in which case it will
`assume the same properties as text
`
`typed at the insertion point
`
`Graphics
`
`Note Any text
`that was entered as part of
`graphic image not as
`graphic is stored as
`individual characters WriteNow cant change the font properties of this text
`
`When you replace selected text by either
`the replacement will have the
`typing or pasting
`same font properties as those of the first character of the selected text
`
`Graphics in EPS Encapsulated PostScript

`in the following ways
`
`format or TIFF Tag Image File Format can be
`
`that contains the graphic You can use
`.eps or .tiff extension
`file with
`Through
`the Place Graphic command in the Edit menu which will get the graphic from the file
`you specify
`
`graphic that you cut or copied from another
`Through the pasteboard which contains
`from the same document
`or from an application that writes EPS
`WriteNow
`document
`Use the Paste command to paste the graphic on the
`
`or TIFF format
`to the pasteboard
`pasteboard into your document
`
`Whichever method you use WriteNow creates
`the graphic and stores that
`file containing
`file package As described in Users Reference you dont normally
`file in the documents
`to look inside them
`you may want
`need to concern
`yourself with file packages
`however
`when working with graphics
`Inside the file package youll see the file containing
`the text
`of the document which WriteNow names WNDocument.wn and the files that WriteNow
`created when you pasted in graphics
`If the graphic was pasted in from another application
`the graphic file is named WNGraphic.xxxxxx.eps where xxxxxx is
`random six-digit
`number Otherwise the graphic file retains its original name with the addition of the
`six-digit number
`
`When graphics are hidden with the Hide Graphics command in the View menu the name
`of each graphic file without
`gray box that
`the six-digit number
`is displayed in
`replaces

`
`Note You shouldnt rename move or delete the WNDocument.wn file in
`file package
`or you wont be able to open the document You also shouldnt rename move or delete
`from the document and
`in the file package or the graphic will disappear
`graphic file directly
`the graphic is missing To restore

`graphic file If you change the contents of
`graphic file in the file package the change will
`if the size of the graphic changed it may not be
`however
`be reflected
`in the document
`displayed properly As described under Scaling Graphics below double-clicking the
`graphic and either scaling
`it will solve this problem
`it or Shift-clicking
`
`Pasting in Tall Graphics
`
`paragraph of text
`Graphics can be embedded within
`separate paragraph However when you first paste in
`the graphic is placed in
`tall graphic
`Return character before and after the graphic
`its own paragraph WriteNow adds
`graphic is considered to be tall when its taller than the header-body
`separator which is
`initially 24 points 1/3 inch see the description of the Page Layout command in the Page
`separator and how to change it
`menu for information about
`the header-body
`
`graphic doesnt have to be
`
`If youve chosen Show Space from the View menu
`line of small arrowheads will appear
`as when you use the Page menus Keep on Same Page
`and below the tall graphic
`above
`because WriteNow
`command on
`paragraph The arrowheads
`appear
`applied the Keep on Same Page command to the graphic You cant
`Keep on Same Page with the Allow to Cross Page command but
`theres no need to do so
`as long as you keep the graphic in paragraph by itself If you want to embed tall graphic
`within text and also allow the resulting paragraph cross
`page boundary increase the
`separator to the height of the graphic and then use Allow to Cross Page on the

`During scaling the size of the graphic is shown at the lower

`replacing the page number
`For example
`of the size of the original graphic
`
`temporarily
`
`percentage
`
`x8O.@ y80.%
`
`means that
`
`the graphic has been scaled down both vertically
`

`
`The Ruler
`
`The ruler lets you display and change the format of paragraphs the left and right margins
`the Show Ruler
`indentation tab stops alignment and line spacing When youve chosen
`command in the Format menu the ruler is displayed just below the document windows title
`at the left edge of the page excluding
`bar The rulers scale starts at
`any binding margins
`in inches although you can switch to other units of measurement with the
`and is initially
`Page Layout command in the Page menu The illustration below shows what
`the ruler
`looks like when its displayed in
`new document unless specified
`otherwise

`
`The ruler shows the format of the paragraph that contains the insertion point or the
`change the format each new
`text Unless you specifically
`beginning of the selected
`as the preceding one However when
`the same format
`paragraph that you type will have
`
`The Ruler

`
`
`
`you move or copy
`paragraph including the Return or page break character at the end of
`format
`it the paragraph will keep its original
`
`Note If you move or copy paragraphs
`from one ruler width to another WriteNow scales
`the margin indentation and tab settings adjusting them so that
`theyre in the same relative
`places on the new ruler if tab was originally halfway between the margins for instance
`it will be so after the move or copy This happens for example if you move paragraphs
`between documents of different page or column widths or if you copy
`paragraph in
`multiple-column document
`header or footer
`into
`
`When you first press the mouse button in the ruler to begin making
`ruler setting
`ruler change except when you click
`WriteNow selects all the text
`that will be affected by
`is made after youve changed the
`in the line spacing text field in which case the selection
`spacing So if you want
`paragraph you need only click in the paragraph you
`to reformat
`the entire paragraph When youre ready to type in the document again
`dont have
`to select
`just position the insertion point where you want
`to enter
`the text
`
`You can move the rulers margin indentation and tab markers to any spot on the scale
`When you move marker in the ruler
`vertical gray line appears running from the marker
`to the bottom of the view This line makes it easier
`for you to determine the position of the
`
`marker relative to the text
`
`When several paragraphs are selected the ruler displays the format of the first one If you
`ruler setting only that change will be made to the selected paragraphs For
`then change
`example if you change the right margin on the ruler the right margin of all the selected
`paragraphs will be changed but the left margin and all other aspects of the paragraphs
`format will remain the same If the ruler already happens
`to be set to the change you want
`to make because its set that way for the first paragraph of the selection just click the ruler
`setting you want and it will be applied to the entire selection
`
`You can copy paragraph formats by using the Copy Ruler and Paste Ruler commands in the
`Format menu Pa
