The Word Processor has a menu with many functions. You may view the Word Processor
menu by pressing the Help key. The Word Processor menu will appear with the following
options: File, Edit, Format, Tools, Print, Help and Exit.
FILE OPTIONS
Under the File Options menu, you may select four different functions: New, Load, Save
and Delete. To enter the File Options menu, press the Help key and select File Options.
New
New is the command to create a new file. Every time you enter the Word Processor
activity, you will see the same document you worked on the last time you were in
Word Processor. To create a file, select New from the FILE options and it will ask
if you want to create a new document. If you select “Yes”, it will ask if you want
to overwrite the current document. If you select “Yes”, the document will be deleted,
allowing you to create a new one. Selecting “No” will return you to the existing
document. If you want to save your document in order to create a new one, you
must have a RAM cartridge. This cartridge allows you to save multiple documents
and is sold separately.
Load
Load is the command used to retrieve an existing file from the optional RAM cartridge.
Select Load from the File Options and it will list all of the files in the RAM cartridge.
Select the file you want to retrieve and press the Enter key. The chosen file will
then appear on the screen.
Save
Saving a file is a very important option in Word Processor because if you forget to
save the file, your document will be lost permanently. You must have a RAM cartridge
in order to save a file. Select Save from the File Options and it will prompt you
to input the name of your file. Type in your file name and press Enter to save the
file. The PRECOMPUTER POWER PAD™ PLUS can store one page, 8 1/2 X 11.
But if you would like to save the document before creating a new one, you must
have a RAM cartridge. To rename a file, enter System Setup and select RAM Cart.
Manager. Please note that the filename can only be up to 8 characters long.
