WordStar
The WordStar word processing package
has
an
installation
program which configures WordStar
to
run with the
equipment you're using.
Part
of this program enables you to
put printer codes for special features into the software.
This
is
called
"patching."
The patching feature enables you to control
printing features
by
placing WordStar control characters in
-
your text file.
In
this section, we'll show you how to
set
up
WordStar for the IBM-Compatible
ML
182/183
and
give you
some hints about using printing features.
The number
of
features you can patch into WordStar
is
lim-
-
ited,
so
it's a good idea
to
spend a few minutes
thinking
about what
you'll
need for the kind
of
documents you want
to write. You may need superscripts and subscripts, for ex-
ample, but not different character widths.
Our
sample con-
-
figuration
will
have the
following
MICROLINE features:
-
10 Characters
Per
Inch (Pica)
printing
17.1 cpi (condensed) printing
Double-width
printing (5/8.5 cpi)
Continuous
Underlining
Superscripts and Subscripts
6 lines per inch
8 lines per inch
Of
course, this
is
just one possible combination.
Before you start, make a copy
of
WordStar and
use
the
-
copy for patching.
Save
the original in case you have
diffi-
culty patching. You may also
want
to patch several ver-
-
sions
with
various combinations
of
features for different
uses.
