You can use it at home, school, or take it with you when you travel, letting you have immediate access to your most important business or personal information.
Z80-type CPU with 5.5296 MHz clock speed
This central processing unit is the "brain" of your WP-2.
This read-only-memory is the permanent memory that contains your word processing program, spelling checker, and thesaurus. Each kilobyte equals about 1024 bytes; so 256K is nearly 262,144 characters of information.
Random-access-memory is the temporary where the files you create are kept. The backup battery keeps the files stored in RAM, even after you turn off the WP-2.
You can connect a parallel printer to your WP-2 immediately. No extra adapter card is needed.
You can connect a serial device such as a modem or serial printer without having to buy an optional serial adapter card.
NOTE: If you have a serial device that uses a 25-pin connector (DB-25), you must use a 9-pin to 25-pin adapter, available at your local Radio Shack store.
BUILT-IN CASSETTE RECORDER PORT
Simply connect a cassette recorder and save your work on cassette tape.
Extra keys make many of the functions of your WP-2 available with a single keystroke or two.
The screen or your WP-2 displays either lines and 80 columns of clear, easy-to-see characters.
This slot lets you use RAM memory cards to store files.
You can expand your WP-2's capabilities in many ways. This section describes some of the more popular accessories and upgrades.
In most instances, adding an option is as easy as connecting a few cables. Refer to the instructions that come with the option for additional installation information.
CONNECTING THE WP-2 TO AN AC POWER SOURCE
By connecting the WP-2 Power Adapter (260-3804, optional/extra), the WP-2 can be operated when the Adapter is plugged into a 120 VAC wall outlet.
Before connecting the Adapter to the WP-2, be sure to turn the WP-2 and all peripheral OFF.
To print the files you create, simply connect the printer cable to the built-in PRINTER (parallel) port located on the back panel.
Tandy has a full line of printers, from fast and economical dot-matrix printers to typeset-quality laser printers.
Increase your storage capability by making copies of your files on cassette tape. The built-in CASSETTE recorder port is located on the back panel. We recommend Radio Shack's CCR-81 cassette recorder (260-1208) which comes with the required cable (260-1207).
Expand you file storage even more by adding the Tandy Portable Disk Drive 2 (260-3814) and saving your files on diskettes. The drive connects to the RS-232C (serial) port on the rear panel.
Add a modem to your WP-2, and send files to or receive files from other word processors or computers over phone lines.
To connect a modem, us an RS-232 cable with a female nine-pin connector (26-269) and connect it to the WP-2's RS-232C serial port.
Talk to your Radio Shack sales representative about our line of modems. You can even use a battery-operated modem so that you can carry it everywhere with your WP-2.
You can expand the WP-2's memory capability by inserting a memory card with 32K of memory (260-3931) into the EXPANSION CARD slot on the side of the unit. You can use it like a diskette or cassette tape to store files. Then, you can remove the card and store it in a safe place.
You can expand the random access memory by adding a 32K RAM chip (260-3932), for a total of 54K or internal text memory. When installing the chip, position it so that the end without the notch is at the end of the socket, as shown in the illustration below. (There should be four unused position in the socket.)
Your WP-2 Portable Word Processor is versatile and easy-to-use. You can use it at home, school, or take it with you when you travel. Setup is as simple as unpacking the box, installing the batteries, turning it on, and running a simple setup program.
1. Use the point of a pencil to turn on the memory protect switch on the right side of the Word Processor. Turn off this switch only when you replace the backup battery. When this switch is turned off, all information stored in the WP-2 is erased.
2. To open the battery compartment, slide off the compartment's cover.
3. Install four AA batteries, observing the polarity (+ and -) symbols marked inside the compartment. For longer battery life and optimum performance, we recommend alkaline or nickel-cadmium batteries.
NOTE: You can connect the WP-2 to a standard AC outlet by using an AC adapter rated at 6V DC, 400 mA.
4. Replace the battery compartment cover.
5. If you would like the WP-2 to sit at an angle, lower the two legs on the bottom of the unit.
6. Press the POWER button.
7. Adjust the CONTRAST dial until the following message is clearly displayed:
New File Name:
8. A small blinking block called a cursor appears to the right of this message. Type a temporary filename with a maximum of eight characters. (The cursor moves to the right as you type.) Then press [ENTER]. The Status display appears, showing the format line with margins and tab settings, the current cursor position (line and column), the amount of available memory, and the document name.
9. Press any key and the Status display disappears.
The first time you start up the WP-2, you need to run the built-in Setup program before you begin word processing. The System selection in the Setup program tells the WP-2 what kind of batteries you are using, whether you want the automatic spell checker turned on or off, and how much time to wait before automatic power off. Use Setup any time you want to change the current settings.
1. With the WP-2 turned on, press the key sequence [F2]-[-] to start Setup. The Setup menu appears.
2. Select the System option. See the "Tasks and Topics" section for information on the Telcom and Print options.
3. The cursor is now in the answer area of the first prompt, Auto power off (min). When the WP-2 is not in use for a selected period of time, it turns off automatically. The preset (default) number of minutes the WP-2 waits before turning itself off is 10. To change this time, simply type a number representing minutes between 0 and 255. To turn off the automatic power off feature, enter the number 0. Press [ENTER] only if you change the default setting.
4. Use [down arrow] to move the cursor to the Auto spell check answer area.
5. If you want the WP-2 to buzz each time you type a word it does not recognize, use the [left arrow] to highlight YES. Otherwise highlight NO.
6. Press [down arrow] to move the cursor the Battery type answer area.
7. Use the arrow keys to highlight either Alkaline or Ni-Cd. Select Alkaline if you are using anything other than nickel-cadmium batteries.
8. When all the answers are the way you want them, press [ENTER].
The screen clears, and you are now ready to begin word processing!
If you have ever used a typewriter, the keyboard on your Wordprocessor is already familiar to you. In addition to standard typewriter keys, however, you will find cursor keys and function keys. These special keys make it easy for the WP-2 to perform complicated tasks with only a little effort on your part.

4. After all options have been changed as desired, press [ENTER] to complete the Layout function.
Listed below are the options available in the Layout function menu and what they mean:
JUSTIFY--Lets you select between a justified right margin (ON) or a raged right margin (OFF). If you select a justified right margin, the WP-2 inserts spaces between words to make all full lines of text line up at the right margin.
AUTO PAGE NUMBERS--Lets you select between automatically adding page numbers to your printed document (ON) or not (OFF).
STARTING PAGE NUMBER--Lets you specify a page number to use for numbering the first page of your document or file. For example, if you created a document in two different files, you would want the first page number of the second file to follow the last page number of the first file.
HEADER--Lets you specify information, such as a document title, that prints at the top of every page. In the first line of the Header option, choose the position where you want the header to print on a page; top, center of the page (C), top, right corner of the page (R), or top, left corner of the page (L), or select no header (N) to delete a header.
In the second line of the Header option, type in the text for the header and press [ENTER].
FOOTER--Lets you specify information, such as a section title, that prints at the bottom of every page.
NOTE: If you want your footer to be a page number, select ON for the Auto Page Numbers option instead of specifying footer text.
In the first line of the Footer option, choose the position where you want the footer to print on a page; bottom center of the page (C), bottom right corner of the page (R), or bottom left corner of the page (L). To delete a footer, select (N).
In the second line of the Footer option, type in the text for the footer, then, press [ENTER].
PAUSE BETWEEN PAGES--Lets the printer pause between pages. If you are not using continuous form paper, select YES so that you can insert a clean sheet of paper in the printer after each page prints. By selecting NO, the printer will continue printing the entire document.
TOP MARGIN IN LINES--Lets you specify the number of blank lines you want at the top of a page.
BOTTOM MARGIN IN LINES--Lets you specify the number of blank lines you want at the bottom of a page.
LEFT MARGIN--Lets you specify the number of blank spaces you want at the left edge of a page.
CHARACTERS PER LINE--Lets you specify the maximum number of characters (including spaces) you want to print on one line.
For example, if you will be printing on a standard 8 1/2" wide paper in a ten characters per inch font (such as Courier), the total line length is 85 characters (8 1/2 times 10). If you set a left margin of one inch (10 spaces) and you want a right margin of one inch (10 spaces), subtract the total of the left and right margins (20 spaces) from the total line length (85 minus 20). A difference of 65 spaces (or 6 1/2 inches) is the maximum number of characters per line does not total more than the width of your paper (total line length).
PAGE LENGTH IN LINES--Lets you specify the maximum number of lines on a page. For standard 11" long paper contains 66 lines (6 lines per inch).
left margin
To adjust the setting for the left margin of your document, see
"Left Margin" in the "Layout" section.
To temporarily indent text at the left margin, see "Indent Text."

When you are ready to resume the original linespacing, repeat these steps again. In Step 2, simply type the number for the original line spacing.
If you have saved the user's dictionary file to a diskette or a cassette, use the Files function to load that data back into the Wordprocessor's memory.
1. Press [F2]-[=]. The device names appear at the top of the screen.
2. Move the highlight bar over the device name where the user's dictionary that you want to load is stored. Press [ENTER].
3. The filenames on the selected device are listed on the screen. Move the highlight bar over the name of the user's dictionary you want to load. Then press [F1]-[L]. The file is loaded into a special dictionary memory in the WP-2 to be accessed by the Spellword and Spelldoc functions.
To move text within your document or to move to another document, see "Cut" and "Paste."
To force the end of a page and begin a new page, press [F1]-[P]. The page break display appears on the screen and includes the page number of the page that precedes it. Text typed below this dividing line will be on the next page.
To type over text, replacing characters as you type, see "Ins/Ovr."
To automatically number the pages of your document when it is printed, see "Auto page numbers" in the "Layout" section.
To determine how much of your text prints on a page, see the "Layout" section. The setting for Page length in lines indicates the length of your paper. When you paginate a document, the WP-2 takes this page length and subtracts the number of lines specified for the top and bottom margins. The remainder indicates the number of lines that can print on a page.
To paginate your document, press [F2]-[P]. Page break displays appear on the screen. Each page break includes the page number of the page that precedes it. All pages created with the New Page function automatically renumber as needed.
PASTE
If selected text has been stored in the temp.inv file by the Cut or Copy function (see "Cut" or "Copy"), you can use the Paste function to paste the text in place within your document or within another document.
1. Use the Cut or Copy function to store selected text.
2. Move the cursor to the position in your document where you want this text to appear.
3. Press [F1]-[=] to perform the Paste function. The text is now in place.
If you want to paste the selected text within another document, load that document. See "Swap the Displayed Document and Existing Document" in the "File Issues" section. Move the cursor to the position in that document where you want this text to appear. Press [F1]-[=] to paste the text in place.
NOTE: You can paste the selected text in more than one location because the text remains in the buffer until you copy another portion of text, or until you delete the temp.inv file.
To reinsert text that you just deleted, see "Cut."
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 phrase and replace it with another word or phrase, use the Replace function.
NOTE: If the Replace function finds a text string that has been designated as boldfaced or underlined text, the replacement text will also be boldfaced or underlined.
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 replace with: 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 document where it was found. Then the prompt Replace this string? (Yes/No) 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, press [N]. If you want to replace all occurrences of this text string, press [A]. Or, press [Cncl] to stop the operation.
If the Replace 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 adjust the setting for the right margin of your document, see "Characters per line" in the "Layout" section.
To temporarily indent text at the right margin, see "Indent Text."

The Calendar function lets you create, sort, update, and store a list of events and special occasions.
You can store all of your engagements on a single list, or create individualized lists, such as business appointments or social events.
Each time you create a new list of events, mycal.do is the filename automatically assigned to the list. However, you can easily rename each list of events. (See "Rename a List of Events.") For quicker reference, be sure to select a filename that you will easily recognize.
When you perform the Calendar function, the list of events entitled "mycal.do" is the only file you can load. If you want to access other lists of events, use the Files function. (See "Rename a List of Events" for details.)
In this section, you can find additional information on using the Calendar function.
add an event to an existing list of events
Move the cursor to the last item in the list of events. Then, follow the instructions in "Calendar."
Press [Bksp] to erase the character immediately preceding the cursor position. Press and hold this key to repeat the function and delete text preceding the cursor. The text compresses as characters are deleted.
The Calendar function allows you to keep track of your busy schedule.
1. Press [F2]-[0]. The Calendar screen appears. There are three headings (MO/DD/YY for the date, HH:MI for the time, and COMMENT for whatever information you choose to include about a given date and time), as well as status information (current cursor position, the amount of available memory in the WP-2, and the document name).
Notice that the document is automatically assigned the name "mycal.do." Press any key to remove the headings and the status information from the screen.
2. Type a date that you want to remember. Be sure to use the mm/dd/yy format (two digits for the month, two for the day, and two for the year). For example, the date "April 3, 1990," would be 04/03/90.
NOTE: You can organize your list of events in chronological order (the order of occurrence) by using the Sort function. See "Sort" for more information.
3. Press [:]. Then, press the space bar. If you want your columns to line up, you can press [Tab] 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 settings, see "Format."
4. The first thing you must do when typing the time is to indicate a.m. or p.m. Type a for morning (a.m.) or p for afternoon/evening (p.m.). Then, without pressing the space bar, type the time. Be sure to use the hh:mm format (two digits for the hour and two digits for the minute). For example, the time "7:30 p.m." would be p07:30.
5. Press [:]. Then, press the space bar or press [Tab] to move to the next column.
6. This third column can be used to list any extra information you want about each event. After you type the appropriate information, press [ENTER]. The cursor goes to the beginning of the next line where you can type the next date.
NOTE: Limit the information about each event to one line.
7. Press [F2]-[Bksp] to exit the list. The WP-2 returns to the text of the document you were in prior to initiating the Calendar function.
You can keep all of you scheduled activities and special occasions in one list, but you might find it helpful to have some of these events in separate, smaller lists. For example, if there are several events on your main list that are related to one general category, such as social activities, make a new file called "social.do". (To create a new file, see "Open a New File.") Then, copy events. See "Cut" and "Paste" to move events.) The next time you need to check your social calendar, you can simply view this file. (See "View a List of Events.")
NOTE: The filename, mycal.do, is automatically assigned to each new calendar list that you create. However, you can easily rename each list. (See "Rename a List of Events.") For quicker reference, choose a filename that you can easily recognize.
To check the current status of a file, see "Status."
Use the Copy and Paste functions to duplicate dates and activities within a list of events, or to copy dates and activities to another list of events, be sure to enter the lists of events through the Files function rather than the Calendar function.
1. Press [F1]-[9] (Select function) to highlight activities that you want to copy.
2. Press [F1]-[0] to perform the Copy function.
The highlighting on the text disappears, but the selected text is now stored in a temporary file named "temp.inv."
3. To insert a copy of the selected activities within your current list of events, move the cursor to the position where you want this text to appear. Press [F1]-[=] to paste the text in place.
4. To copy the selected text to another list of events, first display that list of events. Then, move the cursor to the position where you want this text to appear. Press [F1]-[=] to paste the text in place.
NOTE: The highlighted text that was selected to be copied remains in the temp.inv file until you copy or cut another section of text.
If you want to delete the temp.inv file without storing new text, simply perform the Copy function without selecting any text. The message Do you really want to clear cut & copy buffer? (Yes/No) appears. Press [Y] to clear the buffer of [N] to leave it as is.
Press [Bksp] to erase the character immediately preceding the cursor position. Press and hold this key to repeat the function and delete the text preceding the cursor. The text compresses as characters are deleted.
Press [Shift]-[Bksp] to delete the character at the cursor position. Press and hold this key combination to repeat the function and delete text following the cursor. The text compresses as characters are deleted.
You can use Cut to delete selected activities. You can also use it with the Paste function to move selected events to another location.
1. Press [F1]-[9] (Select function) and use the arrow keys to highlight the section of your document that you want to cut.
2. Press [F1]-[-] to perform the Cut function.
The highlighted text disappears and is stored in a temporary file named "temp.inv".
NOTE: The highlighted text that was cut from the document remains in the temp.inv file until you copy or cut another section of text.
If you want to delete the temp.inv file without storing new text, perform the Copy function without selecting any text. The message Do you really want to clear cut & copy buffer? (Yes/No) appears. Press [Y] to clear the buffer or [N] to leave it as is.
If you accidentally delete a section of text by using the Cut function, you can reinsert it by placing the cursor where you want the text to go. Then, press [F1]-[=] to paste the text back in place.

2. Press [F1]-[2]. The prompt String to be found: appears at the bottom of the screen.
3. Type the word, date, or sequence of characters that you want top 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 list of events.
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, or 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.
If the Find function cannot 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. 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 list of events.
To set the format of a list of events, use the Format function.
Press [F1]-[4] to display the current format. This display shows linespacing, margins, and tab settings. (If you decide not to make any format changes, simply press [Cncl] to return to text.)
Follow these steps to make format changes in your list of events.
To change the linespacing for your list of events, press [down arrow] once. Type the desired linespacing number. For example, if you want the document to be doublespaced, press [2]. The cursor immediately moves back up to the format line.
If you decide not to make any linespacing changes, press any of the arrow keys to move the cursor back up to the format line.
* Tabs are indicated by the letter T. If you are satisfied with the tab settings, press [ENTER].
* If you want to clear a tab stop, use [left arrow] or [right arrow] to move the cursor to the tab setting that 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 [left arrow] or [right arrow] 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 list appears on the right side of the screen. The items in this list help you recall how to change the linespacing and tab settings without referring back to this topic in the manual again.
To highlight text, see "Select."
When you create a new document, the WP-2 is in Insert mode. Anything that you type is inserted at the cursor location. The text moves to the right to accommodate the insertion.
To switch from Insert to Overtype mode, simply press [F2]-[\] again. This Ins/Ovr function allows you to switch between Insert mode and Overtype mode.
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 a character.
To insert text anywhere in a document, see "Ins/Ovr."
LOAD A LIST OF EVENTS
If a list of events was saved to another device and you are ready to load it back into the WP-2's memory, see "Copy a Document" in the "File Issues" section.
To insert an entire list of events into the list of events currently being edited, perform the merge function.
NOTE: Be sure to enter the calendar lists through the Files function rather that the Calendar function.

To type over text, replacing characters as you type, see "Ins/Ovr."
If the Cut or Copy function has stored selected activities in the temp.inv file (see "Cut" or "Copy"), you can use Paste to insert these activities in place within your current list of events or within another list of events.
1. Use the Cut or Copy function to store selected text.
2. Move the cursor to the position in your list of events where you want selected events to appear.
3. Press [F1]-[=] to perform the Paste function. The text is now in place.
If you want to paste the selected events within another list of events, display that list. Move the cursor to the position in that document where you want this text to appear. Press [F1]-[=] to paste the text in place.
NOTE: You can paste the selected text in more than one location because the text remains in the buffer until you cut or copy another portion of text, of until you deleted the temp.inv file.
To print a list of events, press [F2]-[0] to initiate the Calendar function. Then, see "Print" in the "Print Issues" section for details on how to print.
To search quickly through a list of events to find a specific date, use the Quick Search function. To use this function most effectively, first sort the list chronologically. See "Sort."

4. At the prompt String to replace with: type the word, date, or sequence of characters you want to use as replacement text, up to 19 characters (including spaces).
5. Press [ENTER] to begin the Replace function.
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, or 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 list of events where it was found. 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].

MORE ABOUT SELECTING FUNCTIONS AND MENU OPTIONS
Some functions begin automatically when a particular function is selected, like the Status function ([F2]-[1])--it indicates the current format line (including tabs and margins), cursor position, document name, and the amount of available memory.
Other functions ask you to type in responses to certain prompts. For instance, the Replace function [F2]-[2] asks you for the String to be found: and the String to replace with:. A string is simply a series of typed-in characters, and can contain a maximum of 19 characters. If can be one word or a series of words.
Finally, some functions provide a menu (a list of options) from which you can select. You can move through a menu with the arrow keys and select a highlighted option by press [ENTER]. Some menus include accelerators. For example, the key sequence [F1]-[1] accesses the Help function. The Help menu appears on the right side of the screen. See "Using the Function Keys" in the "Getting Started" section for more information on using the function keys.
Refer to the "Tasks and Topics" section for detailed information on the functions available in the WP-2.

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.
To copy phone number listings to another location within the same phone list or to a different phone list, see "Copy."
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.
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 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 list appears on the right side of the screen. The items in this list help you recall how to change the linespacing and tab settings without referring back to this topic in the manual again.
To highlight text, see "Select."
When you create a new document, the WP-2 is in Insert mode. Anything that you type is inserted at the cursor location. The text moves to the right to accommodate the insertion.
To switch from Insert to Overtype mode, simply press [F2]-[\]. Now, anything that you type simply replaces the previously typed characters.
If you want to return to Insert mode, press [F2]-[\] again. This Ins/Ovr function allows you to switch between Insert mode and Overtype mode.
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.
To insert text anywhere in a document, see "Ins/Ovr."
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.

Move the cursor to the position in the other document where you want this text to appear. Press [F1]-[=] to paste the text in place.
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.")
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 quickly find a name on your phone list, use the Quick Search function. To use this function most effectively, first sort the list alphabetically. See "Sort."
1. To enter the Phone function, press [F2]-[8]. The mypho.do phone list appears on the screen.
NOTE: The Quick Search function is only available in the Phone function mode.
2. Before you can proceed, you must press any key to delete the status display and the column headings from the screen.
3. Press [F1]-[3]. The cursor moves to the firs position in the file.
4. Type the first letter of the name that you want to find. The cursor moves to the first occurrence of that letter. Note that only the first position of each line is searched. If none of the names on the list begins with the letter typed in this step, press [Cncl] to cancel the Quick Search function.
5. If the WP-2 finds the first letter in the name you are trying to find, type the second letter of that name to move the cursor to, or at least closer 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.
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.
3. Move the highlight bar over the phone list that you want to rename. Press [F1]-[R].

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.
