It is also possible to define the - PA (alternate
pitch) com-
mand to change the print pitch of your document.
The Word-
Star User's Manual fully describes
the use of these
* P func-
tions. You should refer to your manual if you need help with
them.
There are four alternate
^ P codes that can be defined during
the installation
of your WordStar
program
to perform
other
printer functions. They are - PQ, ^ PW, * PE, and * PR. The
process of defining
^ P commands
is called "patching" and is a
fairly complicated
process. Once you have successfully
defined
these codes, they are inserted in your text exactly like other * P
commands.
If you wish to use them, refer to the WordStar
User's Manual
for instructions
or contact
your dealer
for
assistance.
Perhaps the most useful user-defined
- P command is A PE.
If you define this as an escape (ASCII code 27), you can then ac-
cess nearly all of the advanced features of this printer. Without
this patch, you cannot place an escape in the WordStar
docu-
ment and subsequently,
you are limited to using WordStar's
repertoire
of print functions.
A shame when you have a power-
ful printer!
USING THE PRINTER WITH LOTUS l-2-3
Lotus is one of the integrated
software packages that include
a spreadsheet,
a database manager and graphics. We will look at
how to print Lotus l-2-3 spreadsheet.
Lotus l-2-3 uses the /Print command
to print spreadsheets.
When you enter /P, a menu appears that presents
you with a
number of choices. Lotus l-2-3 gives you a lot of flexibility in
printing spreadsheets
through this menu, but you have to define
the range to print. All the other items have default values that
make getting started easy.
If you do change several of the things listed in the /Print
menu, Lotus l-2-3 will remember
the selections that you have
made and use them each time you print the spreadsheet.
They
are even saved with the spreadsheet
so that they will be the
same the next time that you use the spreadsheet.
