David: It's easy to imbed control characters into a .DO file. The process is: To enter a print command, hold down <CTRL>; then in sequence press <P> and the letter assigned to that command. Example: To enter ^B for bold, hold down <CTRL>; then press and release <P>; press and release <B>; release <CTRL>. On a stock Model "T" you will have to force the file out the printer port vs. using the <SHIFT><PRINT> command, else your embeded control characters will not affect the printer. To force the output, while in the your .DO file, tap your <F3>Save function key, enter PRN: and hit <ENTER>. You will be limited in what you can do, using the above method. There is, of course, much easier ways. First, our online library has an entire section devoted to printing, including several full-featured print formatters. Second, a ROM-based program like T-Word, found on the Ultimate ROM II and the Sardine ROM, goes even further. Here's a list of what you can do with T-Word To center text ............... ^C To enter headers ............. ^H ... ^H To enter footers ............. ^F ... ^F To change the left margin .... ^L To change the right margin ... ^R To use handing indentation ... ^X ... ^X To alter page numbers ........ ^N0 - ^N250 To insert a page break ....... ^P For conditional paging ....... ^V1 - ^V250 To alter line spacing ........ ^A1 - ^A250 To turn line justification on or off ................. ^O ... ^O For boldface ................. ^B ... ^B For double strike ............ ^D ... ^D For elite type ............... ^E ... ^E For porportional spacing ..... ^G ... ^G For condensed print .......... ^K ... ^K For superscripts ............. ^S ... ^S For subscripts ............... ^T ... ^T For underlineing ............. ^U ... ^U For wide tupe ................ ^W ... ^W For italics .................. ^Y ... ^Y Hope this helps. -Rick-
