Page Symbols
A set of page symbols starts each page:
•
The first symbol (A) indicates the current project
(described in the next section). The number indicates the
number of the project to which the page belongs.
•
The second symbol (B) indicates the number of the
page within the project. It also shows the vertical positioning
of the text on the page. The symbol changes depending on
whether the text is positioned at the top, bottom, or center of
the page.
•
The next symbol (C) shows the EFFECT-IN that has
been selected. This effect will introduce the page when it's
played.
•
The next symbol (D) shows the duration of the page
— how long it will be displayed when you press PLAY. If
the page is set for infinite duration, scroll, or crawl, a symbol
is displayed here instead of a number.
•
The next symbol (E) indicates the EFFECT-OUT.
•
The last symbol (F) indicates whether a bug is to be
displayed on the page and its quadrant position on the page.
Navigating Pages and Projects with the Page Index
With the ability to create hundreds of pages comes a prob-
lem: How do you find a particular page efficiently?
FireWriter includes a Page Index that lists all pages in a
condensed form and makes it easy to move the cursor to the
desired page.
•
Press PAGE INDEX and a Page Index screen appears.

Each page appears as a single
line beginning with the project
symbol, the project number, the
page symbol, and the page
number. The rest of the line
contains as much of the text
from the page as will fit.
•
All pages and all projects
are listed in order. The cursor
shows the current page. Use the arrow keys to find any
page. As in the Editing Screen, you can move quickly
through the pages. Press PAGE UP or PAGE DOWN and
the cursor will jump a full screen at a time. You can perform
the same function by Holding SHIFT while you press the
arrow keys. Hold CMD while you press the arrows to move
between projects.
•
Press NEW LINE/OK to exit the Page Index and
return to the Editing Screen.
Deleting a Page
To delete an entire page and its contents, use the Editing
Screen to locate the page. Position the cursor after the very
last character of the previous page and press MARK START.
Position the cursor after the last character of the page you
want to delete and press MARK END. (This marks the entire
page, including the page symbols at the page's start.) Press
DELETE. Remember that as a safeguard, in order to delete
marked text, the cursor must be located just after one of the
marks.
If an entire page is marked, DELETE will erase page and its
contents.
