Type text


  Click in a text area in the window where you want to type.   Type without pressing Return at the end of each line.     Press Return to end each paragraph.     Click elsewhere to continue typing there.


The insertion point is marked by a blinking vertical line that moves forward as you type.
Move the insertion point by clicking where you want it to appear or by pressing the arrow keys on the keyboard.
You don't have to press Return to end a line as you do on a typewriter. This application automatically breaks lines between words. Press Return only to cut a line short, as when ending a paragraph.
You don't have to press tab, or hit the space bar a number of times, to indent the first line of every paragraph. This application can be set to automatically create a first indent for every new paragraph.
If smart text is turned on, text will be adjusted on the fly to provide proper quotation mark formatting.
