WP-2 Portable  (260-3930)        Phonlist              Faxback Doc. # 5598
Word Processor


The Phone function lets you create, sort, update, and store a list of phone
numbers.

You can store all of your phone numbers on a single list or create
individualized lists, such as frequently-called or emergency numbers.

Each time you create a new phone list, mypho.do is the file name automatically
assigned to the list. However, you can easily rename each phone list. (See
"Rename a Phone List" for details.) For quicker reference, be sure to select a
file name that you will easily recognize.

When you perform the Phone function, the phone list entitled "Mypho.do" is the
only file you can load. If you want to access other phone files, use the Files
function. (See "Rename a Phone List" for details.)

In this section, you can find additional information on using the Phone
function.

   prompt Pick up phone/then press space bar appears. When the person you are
   calling answers the phone, pick up the telephone receiver and disconnect
   the modem from the line. (Refer to your modem owner's manual to find out
   how to do this.) If your telephone and modem are connected to the same    
   phone line, you can pick up the telephone receiver and press the space bar
   to carry on a normal phone conversation.

DUPLICATE TEXT

To copy phone number listings to another location within the same phone list
or to a different phone list, see "Copy."

EXIT

To exit the Phone function, press [F2]-[Bksp]. The WP-2 returns to the text
file you were in prior to initiating the Phone function.

FIND

To locate a word or number within a phone list, use the Find function.

1. Move the cursor to the location where you want the search to begin.

2. Press [F1]-[2]. The prompt String to be found: appears at the bottom of the
   screen.

3. Type the word, number, or sequence of characters that you want to find, up
   to 19 characters (including spaces).

4. Press [ENTER] to begin the Find function. The search begins at the cursor
   position and moves forward through the phone list.

Upper and lowercase distinctions are sometimes ignored. For example, if you
search for the word company (typed in all lowercase letters), the Find
function locates occurrences of COMPANY, Company, and company. However, if you
type the string to be found with initial capital letters or in all uppercase
letters the WP-2 searches only for exact duplicates of the string as you typed
it.

If the search is successful, the specified text string is highlighted within
the phone list where it was found.

If the Find function can not locate the specified text string, the message Not
found  appears at the bottom of the screen. Press [Cncl] to remove this
message from the screen.

To find subsequent occurrences of the same text string, press [F1]-[2] again.
The same text string is still displayed in the String to be found: prompt.
Press [ENTER]. The next occurrence of the word is highlighted within the
document where it was found.

If the text string is not located, the message Not found appears at the bottom
of the screen. Press [Cncl] to remove this message from the screen.

Also, see "Quick Search" to find out how to do a quick search of a phone list.

* If you want to clear a tab stop, use the [left arrow] or [right arrow] keys
  to move the cursor to the tab setting you want to clear. Press [-]. Repeat
  this step until all unnecessary tab stops have been cleared. If you are now
  satisfied with the tab settings, press [ENTER].

* If you want to set a new tab stop, use the [left arrow] or [right arrow]
  keys to move the cursor to the position in the format line where you want to
  set the tab stop. Press [T]. Repeat this step until all desired tab stops
  have been set. When you are satisfied with the tab settings, press [ENTER].

* To get on-screen help while using the Format function, press [F1]-[1]. A

You can determine which mode you are in by observing the shape of the cursor.
When the WP-2 is set to Insert mode, the cursor is a full block that is large
enough to cover the entire length of a character.  When Overtype mode is
selected, the cursor is half as high and only covers the bottom portion of the
character.

LOAD A PHONE LIST FILE

If a phone list file was saved to another device (transferred and stored on a
diskette, cassette tape, and so on), and you are ready to load it back into
the WP-2's memory, see "Copy a Document" in the "File Issues" section.

MERGE

To insert an entire phone list into the phone list currently being edited, you
can use the Merge function.

NOTE: Be sure to enter the phone lists through the Files function rather than
the Phone function.

1. Move the cursor to the position in one phone list where you want to insert
   the other phone list.

2. Press [F2]-[=]. The Files menu appears.

3. Move the highlight bar over the device name that contains the phone list
   that you want to merge with the current phone list.

4. Press [ENTER]. A list of the files contained in that device is displayed on
   the screen.

NOTE: You can not merge a file that is stored on cassette tape.

5. Move the highlight bar over the phone list that you want to merge. Press

to appear. Press [F1]-[=] to paste the text in place.

PHONE

The Phone function allows you to keep a list of phone numbers and/or
addresses.

1. Press [F2]-[8]. The Phone screen appears. The WP-2 displays three headings
   (NAME, PHONE NUMBER, and MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION), as well as status
   information (current cursor position, the amount of available memory in the
   WP-2, and the document name).

Notice that the WP-2 automatically assigns the document the file name
mypho.do. Press any key to remove the headings and the status information from
the screen.

NOTE: Mypho.do is the file name automatically assigned to each new phone list
you create. However, you can easily rename each file. (See "Rename a Phone
List.")

2. Type someone's name.

NOTE: If you want your phone list to be in alphabetical order, be sure to
enter the last name first, just as you would find the name listed in the local
telephone directory. You do not need to alphabetize the list yourself as you
type each name. Use the Sort function to sort your list alphabetically. See
"Sort."

3. Press [:]. Then, press the space bar. If you want columns to line up, you
   can press [TAB] instead of the space bar to move to the next column.
   Depending on the tab settings, you might have to press [TAB] more than once
   to get to the desired tab position. To change tab settings, see "Format."

4. Type the phone number. If you wish, you can also include the area code.

5. Press [:]. Then, press the space bar, or press [Tab] to move to the next
   column. This third column can be used to list extra information, such as
   addresses. After you type the extra information, press [ENTER]. The cursor
   moves to the beginning of the next line where you can begin a new entry.

NOTE: Be sure that all of the information about each person (name, phone
number, address) fits on one line. The line width is specified by the Layout
function. Refer to "Characters per line" in the "Layout" section of the "Print
Issues" section.

When you finish typing your phone list, press [F2]-[Bksp] to exit this list.
The WP-2 returns to the document that you were in prior to initiating the
Phone function.

You can keep all of your phone numbers in one list or create individualized
lists. For example, if there are several names on your main list that you call
frequently of church-related activities, make a new file called "church.do."
(To create a new file, see "Open a New File" in the "File Issues" section.)
Then, copy or move all related names to this new telephone list. (See "Copy"
and "Paste" to copy names. See "Cut" and "Paste" to move names.) This way,
these phone numbers are stored in one convenient location. You can easily view
this file to see these specific telephone numbers. (See "View a Phone List.")

PRINT A PHONE LIST

To print a phone list, press [F2]-[5] to initiate the Phone function. Then,
see "Print" in the "Print Issues" section for more details on how to print
your phone list.

   to, the name. finish typing the name and the WP-2 finds that name in your
   phone list.

6. Press [Cncl] to cancel the Quick Search function.

RENAME A PHONE LIST

When you perform the Phone function, the phone list entitled "mypho.do" is the
only file you can load. If you want one of your other phone files to appear
instead when you initiate the Phone function, rename the "mypho.do" file. (Use
a name that you will remember as your original phone list in case you want to
change the name back to "mypho.do" later.) Then rename your other phone file
as "mypho.do."

To rename any of your phone lists, follow these steps.

1. Press [F2]-[=]. The Files menu appears.

NOTE: Be sure to enter the phone lists through the Files function rather that
the Phone function.

2. Move the highlight bar over the device name that contains the file that you
   want to rename. Press [ENTER].

NOTE: You can not rename a file that is stored on cassette tape.

   [ENTER]. The Files menu appears with the new file name displayed.

If you decide not to rename the selected file, press [Cncl] to return to the
list of files in the specified device.

REPLACE

You can replace characters by using standard editing procedures. See
"Ins/Ovr", "Cut", and "Paste" for other editing methods.

However, if you want the WP-2 to find a certain word or number and replace it
with another word or number, use the Replace function.

1. Move the cursor to the location where you want the WP-2 to start replacing
   text.

2. Press [F2]-[2]. Two prompts appear at the bottom of the screen.

3. At the prompt String to be found:, type the word, phrase, or sequence of
   characters you want to find and replace, up to 19 characters (including
   spaces).

4. At the prompt String to be found:, type the word, phrase, or sequence of
   characters you want to use as the replacement text, up to 19 characters
   (including spaces).

5. Press [ENTER] to begin the Replace function.

Upper and lowercase distinctions are sometimes ignored when searching for a
text string. For example, if you search for the word company (typed in all
lowercase letters), the Replace function locates occurrences of COMPANY,
Company, or company. Replacement text, however, appears exactly as you typed
it. On the other hand, if you type the string to be found with initial capital
letters or in all uppercase letters, the WP-2 searches only for exact
duplicates of the string as you typed it.

If the search is successful, the specified text string is highlighted within
the phone list. Then the prompt Replace this string? (Yes/No/All) appears on
the screen. If you want to replace this occurrence of the text string, press
[Y]. If you want to skip to the next occurrence of the text string, press [N].
If you want to replace all occurrences of this text string, press [A]. Or,
press [Cncl] to stop the operation.

10. Some telephone systems require that you dial a special code (usually 9) to
    access an outside line. Type this code on the Prefix line. Be sure to add
    a comma at the end of this code to tell the modem to pause after dialing
    the access code.

11. In the Area Code line, enter your area code. If your area code is the same
    as the number you stored in the Dial number line of the Setup menu, the
    WP-2 does not dial the area code.

12. Press [ENTER]. The WP-2 returns to the file that you were in prior to
    initiating the Telcom function.

SORT

To sort your phone list, you must be in the Phone function mode. You can use
