CORRECTING THE FIRST RECORD OF A PARAGRAPH

To correct the first record of a paragraph,

read or skip to the last record of the preced-

ing paragraph. With that record in the buffer,

the tape head is in position to RECord over

the first record of the next paragraph.

Any carrier returns, tabs or spaces after the

carrier return ending the last paragraph must

be retyped if you correct the first record of a

paragraph.

CORRECTING THE FIRST RECORD AT A SEARCH CODE

To correct the first record at Search Code 01,

simply insert the tape in Station 1 and rewind

it, then turn on RECord. Record the Search

Code, the initial carrier return and the first
record.

If you wish to change the first record of any

other Search Code on a tape locate the pre-

ceding Search Code.

Skip in Page Control to reach the End Page

Code, then turn on RECord and retype the

Search Code, carrier return and the first

record.

If it is necessary to change only the Search

Code in either case, follow the same proce-

dure. You should still record the first record

of the document as well as the Search Code.
