Recommended Word Processing
Programs
Word processing software turns your computer
into an electronic typewriter ---'--and more. Since
you type your material into the computer's
memory rather than directly onto a sheet of pap-
er,
you don't need erasers or correction fluid to
fix your mistakes. You just type right over them!
You can even move blocks of text from one place
to another just by pressing a few keys. In addi-
tion, you can add new text
to
the middle of a file
petter, report, etc.) at any time, without having
to retype everything that follows the insert. Or,
you can delete a large amount of text at any
location with a few simple keystrokes.
Once the text on the screen is exactly as you
want it, you will want to print a copy of your
work. For this, all word processing packages re-
quire a suitable printer that will hook up to your
Atari computer (see the discussion of printers in
Chapter 4, " Peripherals " ). Besides printing your
text, word processing packages let you
store
(or
save) what you have created (usually on disk)
for retrieval at a later date.
