Permanent
Space
P
ermanent space
is
the uppercase character
on
[TAB]
.
A
permanent
space
is typed between
two words
that should
always
appear on the
same
line,
such
as
"Canon
Inc."
Word
wrap
treats
words linked
by permanent
spaces
as a
single
word. A
permanent
space
looks
the
same as an
ordinary
space
on the
screen
or
when
printed.
If
you
leap
to
a
p€rmanent
space
(leap
to
[SHIFT]-[TABI),
the cursor
will
find
only
permanent spaces.
A
leap
to
an
ordinary
space
finds
either
a
permanent or
a
regular
space.
Return Character
Pressing
[RETURN]
puts
a return
character
in
the
text,
forcing
the
next
character
in
sequence
to
appear
at
the
indent
of
the
next
line.
A
return
character also marks the
end
of
a
paragraph. This is
important
for
the
paragraph
commands
described
in
Customizing
the
Appearance
of
Paragraphs,
page 40.
A retum
does
not
appear
in
the
printout.
Its whole purpose
is
to cause the
printer
to start
a
new
line.
A return
is
visible
on the screen
only
when
highlighted,
appearing
as
a
small
hook-shaped
arrow.
Tab Character
hessing
[TAB]
inserts
a
tab
character
into
the
text.
A
tab
character is
a space
holder
of
variable
width.
It
extends
from
the
position
the cursor
held
when
you
pressed [TAB]
forward
to
the nearest tab
stop.
Inserting text
to the
left
of
the tab character shortens
it.
A
tab character
is visible
only
when
highlighted, when
it
appears
as
a
dark ribbon
containing
a
right-pointing arrow.
A
tab
character
is
not
visible
in
the
printout
except
as
blank
space
between characters.
A
tab
character
may
be compressed
to
the
width
of
one
character
space (one
mark
on the
ruler). If
insertions
to
the
left of
a tab character
force
it
beyond the tab stop that
anchors
its
right
side,
it
moves to the
next
tab stop (since
it
is
flexible, its
length may
change
when this
happens).
The
restofthe textforward from
the tab
characteris pushed
ahead
and
words wrap
as
required.
Accented Characters
Accent
characters
can
only
be applied
to
alphabetic char-
acters and spaces.
Punctuation
cannot be accented.
