Highlights

Highlights enable you to exploit the special facilities of your printer to print text in different styles.

The following highlight options are available from the Print menu. You can either select them from the menu or type in the key combinations.

Highlight 1  Underline Ctrl-PU
Highlight 2 Bold Ctrl-PB
Highlight 3 Extended sequence  Ctrl-PX
Highlight 4 Italic Ctrl-PI
Highlight 5 Subscript Ctrl-PL
Highlight 6 Superscript Ctrl-PR
Highlight 7 Alternate font Ctrl-PA
Highlight 8 User defined Ctrl-PE

The effect of the bold, underline, italics, superscript and subscript codes are displayed on the screen. The other codes are displayed as highlighted numbers 1 to 8. The effect of these codes when printing the document will depend on the facilities of the printer driver being used.

To highlight a small section of text

Insert the appropriate highlight codes each side of the text to be highlighted.

For example, to underline a word:

1. Position the caret at the start of the word and give the Underline command:

Menu Command Ctrl-sequence Key
Print Underline PU

2. Position the caret at the end of the word and give the Underline command again.

To put a word in bold:

Give the Bold command at the start and end of the word:

Menu Command Ctrl-sequence Key
Print Bold PB

In the case of bold and underlined text, the effect will be displayed on the screen when you move the caret off the slot. Note that highlights are automatically cancelled at the end of a slot.

To highlight a block of text

1. Mark the block.

2. Give the Highlight Block command:

Menu Command Ctrl-sequence Key
Print Highlight block PHB

3. When the dialogue box appears, type in the required highlight number.

Typing in 1, for example, would cause every word in the marked block to be underlined.

To remove highlights from a block of text

1. Mark the block.

2. Give the Remove Highlights command:

Menu Command Ctrl-sequence Key
Print Remove highlights PHR

3. When the dialogue box appears, type in the number of the highlight to be removed from the block.
