Sample text uses the following characters to represent the specified character: ¶ = Carriage returns (CRs); ƒ = Line Feeds (LFs); ∆ = Tabs.                                                          • READ & WRITE FILE simply reads and writes a document, processing it as specified by the chosen pop-up menus, checkboxes, replacements strings, and character remapping set.                                                          • MAKE PARAGRAPHS selectively strips CRs from lines and removes LFs so that CRs will denote paragraphs, not lines. Lines followed by 2 or more CRs are assumed to be end of paragraphs. Additionally, indention (a space or tab is the first character) indicates the start of a paragraph. Select the Remove all indentation checkbox to remove leading spaces and tabs from the beginning of each line after determining paragraph starts. You’ll likely use Make Paragraphs or Make Paragraphs2 for files that are destined for page layout or word processing programs.

Select the Strip dot commands checkbox to have WordStar dot command lines removed.                                                          • ADD or STRIP CHARACTERS adds or strips LFs and/or CRs. LFs are also removed by several main processes. Replacement strings or custom character remapping sets can also be used to add or remove LFs and/or CRs with a different main process to avoid having to process a file more than once.                                                          • FORCE LINE WIDTH reformats lines to a specified width, while removing LFs but not splitting words. Spaces are used to determine words. A line with a space or tab character as the first character is considered to be the first line of a paragraph and is not merged with preceding lines. Words longer than the specified number of characters are placed on their own line. This means that specifying a maximum width of 1 character would cause each word to be placed on its own line. Select the Never merge lines to fit checkbox to prevent the default merging of lines used to pack as many words as possible in the specified width.
