503.0. "Reading a wide document" by AIMTEC::PORTER_T (Terry Porter, ALL-IN-1 Support, Atlanta CSC) Wed Apr 15 1992 23:07

I have a customer who is using WordPerfect integrated to ALL-IN-1 (V2.4) and
they use a font in WordPerfect that results in 12 chrs per inch instead of the
usual 10.

This means that the documents they produce have more characters per line
before the word wrap. They print OK because of the different font but when 
they are read on the screen the diamond character appears to the right to
indicate text off the end of the screen.

Is there any way to get ALL-IN-1 to wrap the text when reading it from EM. I
asked the customer to try reading from WP to see if the behaviour was the same
(I know WP does more formatting than EM when reading documents) but I have not
hear back yet, and I suspect that will not help.

I know that they can use WS, but they would like to be able to read the text
without going blind ;^}

Any ideas would be appreciated,

Terry

Another way of reading wide documents without switching to wide screen is
to use horizontal scrolling.  The following options are available during a
read: 

    GOLD-R or RM	Displays the right margin of document

    GOLD-L or LM	Displays the left margin of document

    GOLD -->		Moves display 8 characters to the right
    
    GOLD <--		Moves display 8 characters to the left
