Depending on your printer, you can create almost any form you can imagine.   Once saved, the same form can be retrieved, filled in, and printed anytime.   Memo Form One of the most frequently used forms in a business office is the memo. Ðmemo.tut  ÃàMegan SillsÃþþ ÃÂTom BroccolliÃÃþþ ÃÃÂRegional marketing conference dates  Creating the Form In the above memo form, the heading is centered while the remaining titles are bolded (highlighted). Let's clear the screen and recreate the above form. ÍÍÿ Clear the screen ´nn  To center text on a line, you just press the Center key and type. ÍÍÿ Press the Center key Ì  Notice that the cursor has moved to the center of the line. All you have to do now is type. ÍÍÿ Type the title, then press ÿÿÙ to end centering Corporate Memo Type, or press Ins to skip typing cCÅ1,cCÅ 1,ź notype1 type1  notype1 ÅCorporate Memo  end1 type1 Type, then press ÿÿÙ to end centering G:LNCD: .,:' 1, end1  ÍÍÿ Add extra spacing  Highlighting the Other Titles The next step is to type the remaining titles. So that the titles stand out, let's use the bold feature to highlight. ÍÍÿ Press the Bold key to begin boldingþþ  ³  ÿ Check the status line and notice that the "Pos" number is now brighter or is a different color to show you that the Bold feature is on. ÍÍÿ Type To: and then turn Bold off Type, or press Ins to skip typing tTÅ1,tTÅ 1,Å notype2 type2  notype2 ÅTo:³  end2 type2 Type, then press F6 to turn bold off G:LNCD: .,':³1,³ end2  ÿ Notice the Pos number now that bold is off. The number shows that bold is indeed off.   Let's add some space between the title and the text that will be typed in later. ÍÍÿ Press Tab and add some spacing  Let's add the "From:" title. Using the Bold, Tab and Enter keys, ÍÍÿ Turn Bold on ³  You are ready to type the "From" title. ÍÍÿ Type From: and turn Bold off Type "From:" or press Ins to skip typing fFÅ1,fFÅ 1,Å notype3 type3  notype3 ÅFrom:³  end3 type3 Type "From:" then press F6 to turn bold off G:LNCD: .,:'³1,³ end3  ÍÍÿ Press the Tab key  Allow the tutor to type the remaining titles for you.   ³Date:³ ³Subject:³   Creating a Line Across the Page Equal signs (=) can be used to draw a double line between the heading and the message area. However, instead of typing one character at a time, there are two ways that you can quickly fill the line with equal signs.   The first method is to simply hold down the equals key. ÍÍÿ Hold down the equal sign  = þþ  Type, or press Ins to skip typing =Å1,=Å 1,Å notype4 type4  notype4 Å==============================================================  end4 type4 = ============================================================= end4  Most of the keys on your keyboard are designed to repeat when you hold them down. This is a handy feature if you want to repeat a character, or hold down an Arrow key to move the cursor quickly through the text.   However, the function keys (F1 through F10, etc.) are also repeating keys. Holding down one of these keys turns a feature on and off continuously. When using a function key, simply tap the key lightly to select a feature.   There is a more precise way of repeating a character. Before we show you, let's move to the beginning of the line and use the Delete End of Line (Ctrl-End) to erase the equals signs. ÍÍÿ Delete the equals signs »è  The second and more precise way to repeat a single keystroke is to press Esc, enter a number, and then type the key you want repeated. Let's use the Esc key to enter a double line on the page. ÍÍÿ Press Esc and create a double line 62=  Inserting a Date The memo form is now complete. However, before saving the memo form, an extra item can be added to the design that will save you time when filling in the memo. ÍÍÿ Move the cursor to the "Date:" titleþþ  »»»»  The Date/Outline key has a feature that will change the date each time the memo form is retrieved. ÍÍÿ Press Date/Outline and select Date Code Ë  ÿ Option number 2 is the one we are looking for. ÍÍÿ Select Date Code from the menu 2  There it is! Because you selected the Date Code option, the date will always be current whenever you fill in or print the memo.   Saving the Form With the date code added, the memo form is ready to save. The Exit key can be used to save the form before clearing the screen. ÍÍÿ Press Exit and type y (for yes) to save the memoþþ  ´y  Let's name this form MEMO.TUT and then clear the screen. ÍÍÿ Save the form as "memo.tut" and clear the screenþþ  memo.tut ®®´n  If a file with the same name already exists on the disk, WordPerfect will ask if you want it replaced with the document on your screen.  9  When asked "Exit WP? Y/N" answer no and the screen will be cleared. ÍÍÿ Clear the screen n  The screen should be clear, ready to start another task. Let's check List Files for the MEMO.TUT file you just saved.
