Smith Corona PWP System 14 - How to Start Typing

How to Start Typing on your FWP
It's easy to start using your PWP. After setting up and turning on your system, you see a list of
action choices on your SCREEN. We call this the MENU as it lists all the actions you can perform
with your Personal Word Processor. You choose the one you want by depressing the
corresponding number key on your typewriter. The MENU looks like this:

• To Start Typing:
1. Depress the number 1 KEY on your typewriter keyboard (indicating Create, View or Edit
Text). The Menu clears and the CURSOR, or blinking rectangle, is located at the top left of
the SCREEN. This CURSOR indicates your typing position in memory and moves along with
you as you type. A corresponding CURSOR on the typing scale at the very top of the
SCREEN also moves as you type.
NOTE: If your SCREEN does not clear and instead tells you that text already exists in memory,
skip to CLEARING MEMORY, p. 14 before proceeding.
You'll also notice a Page Indicator, Line Counter, Auto Return Indicator, and Memory
Remaining Indicator above the typing scale. These prompts assist you when entering or
editing text. Read more about them in Section V, p. 50.
2. Type the following text. Do not depress the RETURN KEY at the end of lines. Only depress it
at the end of short lines and between paragraphs.

You don't even have to set margins since they are preset for you. There's no need to use the
RETURN KEY either. Auto Return is automatically activated when you turn on your system so the
PWP automatically fits your text between the margins. You'll see a downward arrow ) appear
on your screen indicating where returns are located in your text. To distinguish Required
Returns that you type at the end of short lines or between paragraphs, the arrow looks like this

j. You'll learn more about Required Returns on p. 21.
