Changing the Text Size
You can change the size ofthe text displayed in any Text File Editor
document. You can make the text larger to reduce eye strain. Text File
Editor provides three sizes oftext:
S 9 point
S 12 point
S 14 point
"
To change the text size:
Choose a new size from the Sizes menu.
Printing a DOS Text File
In Text File Editor, you choose Print from the File menu to print a
document, just as you would in any Ensemble application. However, you
should be aware of the following two differences when printing Text File
Editor documents:
S
Line Length. The length ofa line in the printed document is not
always the same as the length ofthe same line shown in the Text File
Editor window. In the Text File Editor window, text wraps at the right
edge ofthe window. When you print, however, text wraps at the right
edge ofthe page. (However, ifyou end a line by pressing Enter, this
line ending is preserved when you print the document.)
S
Text Size. The size of printed text may be different from the size of the
text shown in the Text File Editor window. Regardless ofthe text size
you choose from the Sizes menu, Text File Editor prints in a
uniform size.
Naming a DOS Text File
DOS File Names. All documents you create with Text File Editor are DOS
text files. Therefore, when you save them, you must give them names that
follow the DOS rules for naming files. DOS file names can be up to eight
characters long, optionally followed by a period and three more characters.
You may want to use TXT" following the period to indicate your file is a
text file. You cannot include spaces in a DOS file name. For more
information about DOS file names, see Chapter 1.
Text File Editor displays all the
text in a document at the same
size. If you choose a different
size, all the text in the
document changes to the size
you select. The size setting
stays in effect even if you close
one document and open
another.
For more information about
printing in Ensemble
applications, see Chapter 1,
“Getting Started.”
