TASWORD 128
THE WORD PROCESSOR FOR THE SPECTRUM 128
Tasword 128 is the word processorespecially developed to
take full advantage of the extra memory offered by the
Spectrum 128. Tasword 128 includes the following
features.
DOCUMENT LENGTH: Tasword 128 has been specifically
developed to utilise the additional 64K of the Spectrum
memory as text space. This means the program can hold a
massive 60,000 characters in memory at any one time,
enough room for over 10,000 words!
128 CHARACTERS PER LINE: Tasword 128 features the
64 character per line display pioneered by Tasword Two.
Sideways scrolling allows text to be typed with up to 128
characters per line.
ON SCREEN FORMATTING: With automatic word wrap
and right justification, Tasword 128 keeps your text neat
and leaves you free to concentrate on the keyboard.
Tasword prints your text exactly as it appears on screen.
HELP COMMANDS: Part of the help page can be
optionally be shown at the top of the screen. Two control
keys can be used to scroll this part of the help page up and
down through the en tire help page. The ability to view the
help page at the same time as you are typingisa majoraid
to the effective use of the comprehensive Tasword 128
commands.
CURSOR MOVEMENT: Start of text—end of textstart/end
of paragraph —start/end of line— fast scroll
up/down — word left/right start of page —start of next
page—an on screen page breakdisplayshows where each
new page will begin when you print your text.
DELETE: Delete a character—delete left— delete under—
delete a line —a word—a block. An "undelete"command
recovers an accidentally deleted line.
INSERT: Insert character/line— insert mode on/off—auto
insert mode on/off. Auto insert makes room for the
additional characters AND rejustifies the text as you type!
TAB COMMANDS: TAB commands to TAB rightand left.
All TAB stop positions are user definable.
PRINT OPTIONS: Tasword 128 includes a sophisticated
set of print options including multiple copies, page
numbers, headers and footers.
DATA MERGE: When transferred to microdrive Tasword
128 includes a powerful data merge facility. This allows,
for example, a letter to be printed any number of times,
each copy individually addressed from a list of names and
addresses stored on microdrive. This powerful facility is
much more than a standard mail merge. Data can be
printed anywhere in your document and printing can be
made conditional: just send a letter to London addresses
for example.
Incorporatingall the powerful word processingofTasword
Three (and mail merge functions when run on microdrive),
Tasword 128 is the definitive word processor for the
Spectrum 128.
Tasword 128 is supplied on cassette and can easily be
transferred to cartridge for microdrive operation.
