1. About LightWayText
LightWayText is a powerful Text Editor having lots of nice features !
With LightWayText, you have all the power you expect from a full-featured word processing
program - writing, editing, printing, and saving the text document in other formats including
Kanji/PICT/JPEG. We have changed the idea of a 'Writer's Workshop' into a reality.
We are glad if it lets you recall 'Macintosh mind of the early days' - The original Mac's concept
was to keep it pure and simple and this we have done with LightWayText.
We sincerely hope LightWayText will serve you well, being a good friend for your Mac...
Here in Japan, LightWayText is a popular text editor. What is amazing about LightWayText
is its speed, the flexibility and the expansibility. In LightWayText 4, we included all the
Japanese and English word processor functions, because so many of you asked for this.
Editing operations are intuitive. There are many ways to change the appearance of your document;
besides styles, there are decoration lines, the ability to change all paragraph indents or margins,
to paste in PICT or JPEG images, and to create spreadsheet-like tables. LightWayText 4.1.1
onwards also supports importing and exporting Rich Text Format files (RTF) and Unicode format
files (UTF8, UTF16), and LightWayText-X fully complies with Mac OS 10.3 (Panther).
LightWayText can also provide many different layouts. Especially unusual is the Vertical
Writing format of 'Tategaki' as in Japanese books, the basic Paper of Japanese Manuscript paper
'Genkou-Yousi'. With a variety of Custom papers including Notepaper and Greeting card,
you can start your original pages in your Westerners's style easily, also let LightWayText create
back-up files automatically. In other words, as you would expect from a 'Writer's Workshop',
much of your editing can be left entirely to LightWayText.
In addition, LightWayText provides many special menus and macro-functions to stimulate
the creative mind of a professional. You will increase your efficiency with customized menus
and keyboard commands. You can also use a spelling checker or a translation program as if it
were a built-in function. LightWayText even allows you to complex search with the
'Regular Expression' or the 'SEd script' in addition to the normal expression's search.
Besides, there are other useful little goodies to play with, including a scheduler function for
your day-to-day time management.
You will find that LightWayText is widely used, from programming to the writing of various
documents, in any language not only English and Japanese...
- LightWayText is aiming to be the No1-shareware program, loved around the world !
We will be pleased if you Westerners also find LightWayText useful...
(LightWayText is a hybrid, usable with both Macs & PC.
In addition, they are compatible with each other's documents.)
We are improving LightWayText all the time, using your suggestions...

follows those other easy to use Apple favourites, SimpleText and MacWrite !!
╩ LightWayText 4 is a Magical Tool having various faces !
LightWayText has many roles as Editor, Word-Processor, and Writer's Workshop.
However, even a beginner can use it intuitively and easily, because all interfaces
hold the concept of simplicity that was the 'Mac's Way' since the early days.
Supports importing and exporting Rich Text Format (RTF) files, and allows creating
a plain-text document to serve as your RSS code sheet.

creative minds of professional people.
LightWayText will become your good friend, and it will surely bring a comfortable
work environment, without harming your cute Mac's image !!

It gives you almost the same operating environment on both computers as well,
and it is compatible with each other's documents.
In addition, it is very advantageous software, because the Registration Fee covers
all future updates, for both Macs and Windows versions; A Single License is $25 per user.

3.1. File Menu
╩
New Makes a new document window.
Open... Displays the Open dialog to open any text document.
The list box also includes the names of any unformatted ASCII text documents
of Macintosh file type "TEXT". LightWayText 4.1.1 onwards supports
importing Rich Text Format (RTF) files and Unicode (UTF8,16) files.
If you select a file made with Windows with accented characters,
LightWayText identifies these characters and converts them to Mac's
character codes.
Note: If you intend to import a .rft document or a unicode file, ensure you select
"All Documents" in the Show dialog of the Open window, so the RTF, UTF8,
and UTF16 documents will appear.
LightWayText identifies "Rich Text Format (.rtf)" and "Unicode files
(UTF8,16)" automatically and opens them.
Rich Text Format (RTF) is a Microsoft word processing document format,
that encodes Word formatting in plain ASCII codes to allow easy interpretation
by other programs that read this format. LightWayText opens Rich Text
Format files so that comparable character and paragraph formatting can be
interpreted from the other programs.
Note that, because of differences in each program, some features may not
be transferable, including outlining levels, styles, tables, color, and
hidden text format. Remember that, opening a document as a unicode file
is possible in Mac-OS 8.6 onwards, but unicode's characters require
OS-X onwards.
Recent Displays a list of recently used text documents.
File Browser... Displays the File Browser Tool, with it you can browse contents
and preview of Text/PICT/JPEG documents. See 3.1.1. File Browser Tool.
Close Closes the document window.
Save Saves contents of an open document.
Save As... Displays the Save As dialog to save with another name.
LightWayText 4.1.1 onwards supports exporting Rich Text Format (RTF)
files and Unicode (UTF8,16) files.
Note: If you intend to export a .rft document or an unicode file, ensure you have
selected Rich Text Format (.rtf), Unicode (UTF-16), or
Unicode (UTF-8) from the Format option in the Save As dialog.
If you are using an earlier operating system including Mac OS7,
there is no Format option in the Save As dialog due to OS restrictions.
If you intend to save your file as a .rft document in the earlier OS, ensure
you have put '.rtf' as the extension at the end of the file name before you save.
When Rich Text Format (.rtf) is selected, LightWayText saves your
document as a Rich Text Format file so that comparable character and
paragraph formatting can be interpreted by other programs.
Note that, when you save your document as RTF, some features including
PICT/JPEG pictures, Ruby, Upper lines, Fill Patterns and Colors, Marks,
and Custom papers are not retained, due to RTF specifications.
Also, because of differences in each program, some features may not
be transferable, including outlining levels, styles, tables, color, and
hidden text format. Unicodes characters can be retained among TextEdit,
but may not be available for many Windows programs in Rich Text Format
(RTF) due to Microsoft restrictions.
When Unicode (UTF-16) or Unicode (UTF-8) is selected,
LightWayText saves your document as a unicode file. These allow you to
create a plain-text document to serve as your RSS code sheet.
Note that, when you save your document as a Unicode file, any character
styles and page layouts are not retained, due to UTF specifications.
Unicodes characters are compatible with other programs provided they
support unicodes. Note that saving a document as a unicode file is possible
in Mac-OS 8.6 onwards, but unicode's characters require OS-X onwards.
See Unicodes Information in 3.4. Font, Size, Style Menu (Text Menu).
╩
If you intend to save a "LightWayText" document for a PC,
ensure you have selected .LWT Format and PC in Text Format
from the Format menu before you save. See 3.5. Format Menu.
If you want to make a document that you will use many times, e.g. a letter,
you can save it as a Stationery Pad. To save the document as it actually is,
specify Stationery form Stationery Option in the Get Info dialog,
after you click on a documents icon on the Finder.
Opening it starts with the untitled document.
LightWayText-X also allows you to use longer file names (up to 255
characters on a file), including unicodes.
Due to Unicode's restrictions, note that files with unicode characters in
their file names will not be usable with File Browser, File Search,
or Stream Editor. If you try making the backup files with files having
unicode file names, the new backup files' names would have some wicked
strings, but there are no problems.
Revert to Saved Cancels of all changes, to make the contents back into the last saved document.
Page Setup... Displays the Page Setup dialog.
Print... Prints contents of the document.
Quit Quits the LightWayText application and all open LightWayText documents.
If you have made changes to a document without saving, LightWayText
presents a message asking "Save changes to the file ?"
If the document is untitled, it displays the Save As dialog.

texts with character formatting and even unicodes characters including
Japanese Hiragino Kanji characters and Hiragino Gaiji (Grif ID) characters
to share between TextEdit, using 'Drag & Drop' and 'Copy & Paste' too.

See 3.2.2.Option Dialog.
Read-Only Document
When checked, saves the document as Read-only which is impossible to
edit only reading.
TSM-Inline (Only in Japanese OS)
When checked, LightWayText executes the TSM (Text Services Manager)
Inline Input. When checked in the Japanese OS, LightWayText allows you
to convert the selected Japanese characters into Kanji.
Auto Indent When checked, LightWayText executes an Automatic Indent of the next line.
This allows you to keep the first line start position, in addition to the Indent
set by Paragraph attributes.
If the start of the line with the curser contains tab codes or spaces,
LightWayText inserts them onto the next line when you type return.
To set indents, see 3.5.1. Format Tools, 3.5.1.1. Paragraph Dialog.
Note: If you are using LightWayText after using other word processors,
this should be unchecked in normal use.
Programers often find Auto Indent useful.
Here is an example of what you can do with Auto Indent;
func() {
if (a == b) {
a = 1; - see the following explanation
b = 2;
c = 3;
}
d = 4;
e = 5;
}
Explanation;
With Auto Indent checked,
if you type a return after semicolon (a = 1;),
LightWayText inserts tab codes onto the next line, and moves
the curser to the same position as the previous line head.
You can also try the opposite by unchecking the Auto Indent
in this manual.
Now when you type a return after semicolon (a = 1;),
LightWayText moves the curser to just the Indent position.
If you expect LightWayText to use just like a regular word processor,
Auto Indent should normally be unchecked.
In that case, you should also uncheck the Auto Indent with the
Preferences. See 3.2.5.1. General Dialog.
Line Cursor When checked, a line is displayed under the text with the cursor.
Smart Word Edit
When checked, adjusts the spaces between words (English, or French etc.)
after cut, paste, delete or, Drag & Drop. This does not apply to Japanese.

Spelling... Displays the Spelling dialog. See 3.2.8.1. Spelling Dialog.
Check Spelling
Searches for the Next occurrence of misspelling.
LightWayText jumps to the next misspelled word and highlights it.
Unknown or misspelled words are shown with red dotted underlines,
e.g. 'misspellled'.
Note that, the way of showing red dotted underlines depends on checking of
Check spelling As You Type.
When Check Spelling As You Type is checked,
all other unknown or misspelled words are shown with red dotted
underlines too, and they do not disappear until corrected.
When Check Spelling As You Type is unchecked,
only the next unknown or misspelled word is shown with a red dotted
underline. If you move the cursor onto another word,
the red dotted underline disappears.
Check Spelling As you type
When checked, checks the document spelling as work automatically.
All incorrectly spelt words are underlined with red dotted lines
as you type them, e.g. misspellled. The underlined do not disappear
until you correct them.
When unchecked, LightWayText does not check spelling as work,
until selecting Check spelling command. Note that, if you uncheck this
while typing a document, all of previous red dotted underlines in the
document are removed. Ensure you have a reason for unchecking this,
especially after using Find Keyword command.
Check All Spelling
Searches afresh for all occurrences of misspelling throughout the document,
after clearing all of previous red dotted underlines. All of the unknown or
misspelled words are shown with red dotted underlines afresh, and
they do not disappear until corrected. You can select this for just
making sure after correcting all your previous errors.
Remember that, when you select this, LightWayText removes all of
previous red dotted underlines in the document out once, before executing
this. Ensure you have a reason for selecting this, especially after using
Find Keyword command.
Ignore Spelling
After checking, skips the highlighted word.
Note that, when you quit LightWayText, all Ignored spellings are cleared
and do not appear the next time you launch it. This is due to restrictions
in the spell checker of OS-X.
Guess Spelling
Displays possible alternatives for the highlighted word in the Spelling
dialog. See 3.2.8.1. Spelling Dialog.
Find Keyword...
Displays the Find Keyword dialog, in order to search for all
occurrences of expression set as a keyword, throughout the document.
All searched keywords are shown with red dotted underlines,
the same as Spelling errors e.g. 'keyword', but does NOT execute
a spell check.
Remember that, this command searches afresh after removing all red dotted
underlines including misspelled words. Also, the red dotted underlines
do not disappear until clicking Clear Marker in Find Keyword dialog
intentionally or unchecking Check spelling As You Type.
Note that, when you select this, all the red dotted underlines in the
document are removed. Ensure you have a reason for selecting this,
especially after using the spell checker.
For more details about finding keywords,
see 3.2.8.2. Find Keyword Dialog.
Preferences... Displays the Preferences dialog. See 3.2.5. Preferences Dialog.
Key Bindings... Displays the Key Bindings dialog for selecting key options.

3.2.8. Spell Checker (Only available in OS 10.2 onwards)
From OS 10.2 onwards, LightWayText-X has a Spelling sub-menu in the Edit menu.
With this, you can run the OS X spell checker (NSSSpellChecker) in LightWayText
as if it were a built-in function. If you have installed CocoAspell, this is available also.
Note: Spelling sub-menu is only available in OS 10.2 onwards.
To spell check in OS 10.1 or earlier, you should use
Add Word Services... from Word sub-menus in the Find menu.
For more details, see 3.3.4. What is a Word Service.
╩
In the default, LightWayText-X checks the spelling as you type.
All incorrectly spelt words are underlined with red dotted lines as you type,
e.g. misspellled. If you want to check only the next unknown or misspelled word
one by one, or check all errors throughout the document, select Check Spelling
or Check All Spelling.
To correct errors or change the dictionary, select the Spelling... .
LightWayText displays possible alternatives in the Spelling dialog.
For more details, see 3.2.8.1. Spelling Dialog.
To remove the red dotted lines, uncheck Check Spelling As You Type.
Remember that, the error markers are NOT saved when the document is closed.
All the error markers are cleared, and will not appear the next time you open it.
This is due to restrictions in the spell checker of OS-X.
3.2.8.1. Spelling Dialog
The Spelling Dialog is displayed when you choose Spelling... from the Spelling
sub-menu in the Edit menu. With this, you can check each error in turn and correct it.
This dialog also allows you to change the dictionary.
╩
Guess List The left list box shows possible alternatives for the
highlighted word in the document.
Select the guess you wish to use and click Correct,
or double click it.
If you want to add a word to the Guess list, type the word
in the Correction Box and click Guess.
Ignore After checking, skips the highlighted word in the document.
Note that, when you quit LightWayText, all Ignored spellings
are cleared and do not appear the next time you launch it,
due to restrictions in the spell checker of OS-X.
Guess Displays possible alternatives afresh for the word in the box.
Find Next Searches for the Next occurrence of misspelling.
LightWayText jumps to the next misspelled word and highlights it.
Unknown or misspelled words are shown with red dotted underlines,
e.g. 'misspellled'.
Note that, the way of showing red dotted underlines depends on
checking of Check spelling As You Type.
When Check Spelling As You Type is checked,
all other unknown or misspelled words are shown with red dotted
underlines too, and they do not disappear until corrected.
When Check Spelling As You Type is unchecked,
only the next unknown or misspelled word is shown with a red dotted
underline. If you move the cursor onto another word,
the red dotted underline disappears. If you wish to retain all errors,
you should check Check Spelling As You Type.
Correct Replaces the highlighted word in the document with the alternative
selected in the Guess List or typed into the Correction Box.
Note: Due to restrictions in the spell checker of OS-X, it is impossible
to correct all same errors at one time with this dialog.
However, if you use Find/Replace... command in Find menu
together, you can correct all the same errors in the whole document
at a time. Follow the procedures below, but still keeping this dialog.
1. Select a misspelled word in the document.
2. Select Find/Replace... command in Find menu.
You should see the misspelling as Find expression in Find String.
3. Specifies what you want to correct with the Replace expression
in Repl String.
4. Check Show Find Palette and click Find.
LightWayText searches for the Next occurrence of misspelling,
and the first-searched is shown with Show Find Palette.
5. Check Replace All in Show Find Palette.
LightWayText searches for all occurrences of misspelling
throughout the document, and corrects all same errors at a time.
Dictionary Displays the dictionary you want to use for checking.
Learn Adds the word in the Correction Box to the dictionary selected.
Note that, the words specified in the Correction Box are not saved as
alternatives, are just assigned as the target of checking.
Also, if you change the dictionary, the added words are not learned
in them. These are due to restrictions in the spell checker of OS-X.
If you want them to learn to another dictionary too, make them learn
again.
Forget Removes the word in the Correction Box from the dictionary selected.
After checking, LightWayText does not search the occurrence
specified in the box as misspelling.
3.2.8.2. Find Keyword Dialog
The Find Keyword Dialog is displayed when you choose Find Keyword... from the
Spelling sub-menu in the Edit menu.
Find Keyword... is a unique function to search for all occurrences of an particular keyword
throughout the document, and displays them with red dotted underlines, the same as
Spelling commands e.g. 'keyword', to make them conspicuous.
Note that, this does NOT execute a spell check, just searches for occurrences in the whole
document and shows them with red dotted underlines for emphasizing over the document.
You will find this useful, not only for correcting, but for browsing and proof-reading too.
Use it to rapidly find Keywords of up to 255 characters, including Japanese, and
in large documents. You can also search with the Regular Expression.
╩
The Find Keyword dialog specifies what you want to search for with the keyword
expression of character strings up to 255 characters. You can find 2-bytes languages
including Japanese too.
Note: Due to Unicode's restrictions, it is not possible to find Unicode characters.
Make sure you do not put any unicode characters in the expressions.
╩ Use the arrows to select or clear the history expression.
If you wish to insert the Return or Tab code into each expression
of the character strings, choose Enter Return Code or
Enter Tab Code.
Ignore case
When checked, LightWayText searches for both Upper/Lower cases'
occurrences of the Find expression.
If you uncheck this, it distinguishes Lowercase from Uppercase and
searches for the exact match of Lower and/or Uppercase in the keyword
expression.
Regular Expression
When checked, the popup menus appear.
With these, you can search for with the Regular Expression.
If you use the Regular Expression, LightWayText checks texts
corresponding to the specified conditional expressions and retrieves
the occurrences.
Note: In order to compose different conditions, you can use the specific
characters called the Regular Expression Meta-characters
having the specified special meanings.
Also, you can use the Escape Sequence Characters such as a '\'
character etc., to compose the conditional strings of the Regular Expression.
For more details (e.g. How to describe the Regular Expression or
Regular Expression Meta-characters & Escape Sequence Characters),
see 5. Regular Expression.
Find Searches for all occurrences of expression set as a keyword,
throughout the document.
All searched keywords are shown with red dotted underlines,
the same as Spelling error e.g. 'keyword', but does NOT execute
a spell check.
Note that, this function is completely different from the other Spelling
commands, although both appear similar.
Remember that, this command searches afresh after removing all red
dotted underlines including misspelled errors. Ensure you have a reason
for clicking this, especially after using the spell checker.
Also, if you select Check Spelling As You Type or Check All Spelling
after this, all red dotted underlines on keywords are removed.
Make sure, you have checked Check Spelling As You Type before
clicking this, providing if you want to keep checking misspelling after this.
Only in that case, both occurrences of all keywords and the next misspelling
will be marked together, with red dotted underlines.
Clear Marker
Removes all red dotted underlines and clears status of checking.
Note that, this makes all markers disappear, not only on keywords,
but also for all misspelled words e.g. 'misspellled'.
If you wish to start to check the document spelling afresh,
click this in order to avoid any confusion.
Cancel Closes the Find Keyword dialog.
Note:
After executing this command, you can also jump to the next keyword
in turn with Find Next command or Command G.
If you select it while holding the Shift key, it searches backwards.
(But new keywords as you type will not be marked.)
If you wish to jump to the next misspelled word, ensure you select
Check Spelling command or Command ; .
Remember that, the markers under keywords are Not saved when the
document is closed. All red dotted underlines are cleared, and do not appear
the next time you open it. Also if you select the keyword and move the cursor
onto another word, the red dotted underline is cleared, due to restrictions.
If you wish to retain all markers on keywords, ensure you have a reason
for selecting any keywords. Especially pay attention to double-clicking
the keyword and selecting Find Next command.

Stream Editor (SEd) is displayed when you choose Stream Editor... from the Find menu.
LightWayText Stream Editor allows you to do serial pattern searches and appropriate
substitutions at the same time.
'SEd' is a non-interactive, or stream-oriented, editor which was developed originally in Unix.
It interprets a script and performs the actions in the script.
The LightWayText Stream Editor is an especially helpful function with plain GUI
which lets several files run multiple scripts like a series of Find/Replace commands
at the same time. You can easily use the sed program on a Mac.
With this, you can search and replace a number of text files, and also make various writing
conversion programs, easily even if you do not have much programming experience,
and revise any kind of text file quickly whether it has character attributes, paragraph
attributes, lines and the colors etc.. Typical uses of sed include, editing one or more one files
automatically, and simplifying repetitive edits to multiple files.
Especially, it will be helpful for considerably reducing and simplifying the work of
proofreading for publishing.
╩
You may also specify the Find expression (Find String) and the Replace expression
(Replace String). LightWayText interprets them as a script and performs the actions
in the script 's/Find/Repl/g' automatically.
Note: LightWayText 4.1.2 onwards removes a limitation for the target,
and supports '\xhh' and '\xhhhh' for hexadecimal digits in
SED Regular Expression.
Allows you to search and make appropriate substitutions in longer
target lines (more than 3,000 characters in one paragraph).

Unicodes Information:
LightWayText-X allows you to use multilingual languages' Unicodes
(UTF8,16), including Japanese, European languages, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic,
and Turkish, also mathematical symbols. Ensure you have selected the appropriate
font from the Font menu before you put it.
To put unicode characters as it actually is;
1. Choose Show Character Palette from Language Menu
(right of Window menu).
This will display the Show Character Palette window.
2. Select the Unicode you require in Show Character Palette window.
LightWayText puts the character in your document.
If you intend to combine a character and an accent such as acute, grave, circumflex,
umlaut, and tilde as one character using unicode, make sure you select specific
OS-X fonts including American Typewriter, Baskerville, Copperplate,
Futura, Lucida Grande, and Optima from the Font menu.
If you select any fonts like Geneva, Helvetica, Chicago, and Times that
depend on QuickDraw, you can not combine them with an accented character,
due to Carbon application's restrictions.
When you intend to use Japanese unicodes characters, you should select Hiragino
from the Font menu. Hiragino support AdobeJapan1-5 character set
which allows you to use over 20,317 characters, including a huge amount of
Hiragino Kanji characters and a variety of Hiragino Gaiji (Grif ID) characters.
To use the Japanese unicode characters as they actually are, you can also put them,
through the Japanese input method tool like Kotoeri and EGBridge.
Hiragino would solve the problems which would be one of the most serious for
many Japanese who feel dissatisfaction for a lack of the Japanese characters' set.
It allows you to put and print your name correctly, even if your name includes
too old Chinese characters.
LightWayText-X is completely compatible with TextEdit, and allows your texts
with multilingual languages' unicodes characters including Japanese Hiragino
Kanji characters and Hiragino Gaiji (Grif ID) characters to share between TextEdit
and Japanese word processor EGWord, with 'Drag & Drop' and 'Copy & Paste' too.
Note: Unicodes are only effective in OS-X.
Unicodes characters are compatible with other text editors
provided they support unicodes. If you open the document having
the unicodes with another text editor that does not support unicode,
you might find some wicked strings at its position,
but there are no problems.
Make sure, due to Unicodes restrictions, unicode characters are
impossible to find with Find, File Search, Stream Editor.

3.5.1.3. What is a Custom Paper
The Custom Paper function in the Format menu allows you to select the size and shape
of your document. It is just like a foundation of make-up that give your document a unified
format, which you might use frequently for a quick change of layout and appearance,
defining a set of dimensions including the paper size, the paragraph attributes,
the character attributes, and the border lines.
For example, it can be vertical or horizontal, A4 or US Letter, with or without a border etc..
You can set the positions of the margins, the number of columns, whether to have lines and
the color they should be. You may specify the type and size of font, and even the line and
character spacing.
LightWayText has built in some ready-made papers for you to use, or to give you ideas for
your own papers, and naturally you can modify any of these.
When you select one, LightWayText displays your document in the format you selected.
For more details about these papers, see 3.5.1.4. The Ready-Made Papers.
If you wish, you may save a Custom Paper for use another time and give it a special name,
also, you can add or remove the name in the Paragraph & Paper menu.
See 3.5.1.3.3. Custom Paper Dialog and 3.5.1.3.4. ADD/Delete Paper Dialog.
Note: You might be still not used to the Custom Paper function due to specific idea
of LightWayText, but you will get it soon. A Custom Paper is a format base
for the whole document, not a document itself. A Custom Paper does not contain
text and is not the same as a blank template nor a Stationery Pad.
For example, when you make a letter, it would be useful to check Notepaper.
If you wish to use a document many times, such as a blank letter with your
name and address at the top perhaps, it would be more convenient to check
Notepaper and save it as 'Stationery'.
3.5.1.3.1. The Ready-Made Papers
This explains how to use the Custom Paper and how to change your document's appearance,
using the built in papers as examples.
We have built into LightWayText various ready-made papers including the Lined Paper and
the Japanese Manuscript papers. As you would see, these are indicated as the commands in
the Paragraph & Paper in the Format menu and in the Format Tools.
╩
When you choose any one, LightWayText displays your document with the Custom Paper
corresponding to it, and you can do the editing or typing while keeping these conditions.
When you checked Standard, LightWayText changes the document back to the basic.
You will be able to see how your document changes if you will check each paper.
Also, it would be good idea to see the Sample documents attached to know the concrete usage
of these Custom Papers. See the Sample documents in the Sample Document folder.
You can also add others of your choice in addition to the ready-made papers with the
Custom Paper command. See 3.5.1.3.3. Custom Paper Dialog.
J-Manuscript(A4), J-Manuscript(B5).
These Custom Papers are the Japanese Manuscript papers called the 'Genkou-youshi'
which are widely used by Japanese publishing companies and schools etc..
When you wish to make the Japanese Manuscript, these would be useful.
╩
When checked, you can type the Japanese characters with the Vertical Direction format
(Tategaki) within each divided frame. Tategaki is a Japanese Vertical Writing format,
normally used for Japanese books which turns the paper to write the Japanese characters
vertically. When you print, each frame of the ruled-lines are printed likewise.
See J-Manuscript/Sample in the Sample Document folder.
These papers have been designed in accordance with the following Standard design
which are the typical papers marketed as the fixed format in Japan.
Manuscript paper (A4) = Kokuyo-Ke-70
Manuscript paper (A5) = Kokuyo-Ke-31
Lined Paper
This Custom Paper has been designed like a notebook with ruled lines.
When you wish to make an article, reports and letters in any languages,
this will be useful. See Notepaper/Sample in the Sample Document folder.
When checked, you will see this paper makes your document change appearance just
like a notebook. When you print, each ruled lines are printed too.
╩
Scenario Paper (J)
This Custom Paper has been designed like a Japanese script paper including the
Japanese TV-script and dramatic scenarios, dividing two areas of the upper
(Stage directions) and the lower (Text directions).
When you wish to make the Script in any languages, it might be useful.
See Scenario/Sample in the Sample Document folder.
╩
With this paper, you can toggle your curser between the upper and lower areas
with the Tab key.
Address Paper
This Custom Paper has been designed like an address book with ruled lines and
divided into a left area for names and a right area for addresses.
This will be useful for keeping Internet address etc. in good order.
See Address/Sample in the Sample Document folder.
With this paper, you can move your curser between the right and left areas
with the Tab key. When you print, all the ruled lines are printed too.
╩
For Tables
With this, you will be able to create spreadsheet-like tables easily only by
setting the tab stops.
When you set the Tab stops, LightWayText will draw the Column Lines at the positions
of the tab-stops automatically, and when you print, each frame of the ruled-lines are
printed also. See Tables/Sample in the Sample Document folder.
╩
Note: When you checked For Tables, you will not see any tables first.
The column lines will appear when you set a Tab stop.
To make a table, see the next 3.5.1.3.2. How to make a Table.
Sample papers
We have also included in LightWayText, some sample papers.
These are examples of what you can make using Custom Papers.
╩
Note: If you can not find these samples, quit LightWayText and delete your
'LightWayText Preferences' and 'LightWayText Scrap.LWT'
from your system.
When you restart LightWayText after deleting the above files,
LightWayText will make new files, and you will be able to see and try
these samples.

Standard This is the basic Paper of LightWayText.
It is the format that is displayed whenever a new document
is chosen and is a good start for making a Custom Paper.
LightWayText has included the following ready-made papers and some
samples including Notepaper and the Japanese Manuscript Papers.
You can also modify these.
╩
J-Manuscript(A4), J-Manuscript(B5)
These are Japanese Manuscript papers called the 'Genkou-youshi' which are
widely used by Japanese publishing companies and schools etc..
J-Manuscript (A4) and J-Manuscript (B5) have been designed in
accordance with the Standard design of 'Kokuyo-Ke-70' and 'Kokuyo-Ke-31'
which are the typical papers marketed as the fixed format in Japan.
Lined Paper
This Paper has been designed like a notebook with the ruled lines.
If you wish to make a fresh Custom Papers for reports or letters,
this will be useful.
For Tables
This Paper has been designed for making tables.
With this, you can create spreadsheet-like tables because LightWayText
automatically draws the columns and rows as you set the tabs.
Address Paper
This Paper has been designed like a address book.
This will be useful for keeping Internet addresses etc. in good order.
Scenario Paper (J)
This Paper has been designed like a Japanese script paper.
It is used in the Japanese TV-script and dramatic scenarios etc..
If you wish to make a fresh Custom Paper for the Script in any languages,
it might be useful.
╩
Sample papers
We have also included in LightWayText the following Custom papers
as the sample papers.
Note: If you can not find these papers, quit LightWayText and delete your
'LightWayText Preferences' and 'LightWayText Scrap.LWT'
from your system.
When you restart LightWayText after deleting the above files,
LightWayText will make new files, and you will be able to see and try
these sample papers.

The Indent is the distance between the start of a line and the left
margin or the end of a line and the right margin.
You use indents to set off paragraphs in your document, and
this setting affects the whole of your document.
So if you wish to vary the indents of part of your document,
do not use this but use the Paragraph command instead.
For the Paragraph attributes, see 3.5.1. Format Tools or
3.5.1.1. Paragraph Dialog.

3.5.2. Document Dialog
The Document dialog is displayed when you choose Document... from the Format menu.
It sets all the paragraph and character attributes for the whole of the current document.
Naturally you can change the attributes of any paragraph or character individually.
But if you have a document with a mixture of attributes and wish to create a unified set,
use this dialog before you start editing the document or after you have finished.
╩
Justify Sets the paragraph alignment to Left, Right, Center, or Justified.
If you choose Justified, it adjusts the contents, equally between both edges,
and if there are spaces (or Japanese Single byte Spaces), it does this
uniformly by expanding spaces.
Notice, the paragraphs are arranged relative to the left and right indents
rather than the margins.
J-Wrap (Only in Japanese Font use)
Specifies the method of Japanese-Word Wrap.
If you specify either the Dangle or Expel, it achieves the Japanese-Word
Wrap by this method. (This special function is called the Kinsoku-syori
in Japanese, frequently translated into English as the Japanese Hyphenation
Function. It neatly handles the Japanese characters that must not be
at the start and end of lines.)
When you choose Dangle, it puts the target characters at the end of the line.
Also, if you choose Expel, it sends it to the start of the next line.
Font Specifies the Standard Font for the whole document.
Size Specifies the Standard Font Size for the whole document.
Tabs Specifies the Standard Tab Width for the whole document, using the character
numbers of the Standard font size.
Wordwrap When checked, LightWayText achieves Wordwrap for the whole document,
to prevent part of the last word in the line being continued onto the next line.
Normally Wordwrap is always checked.
Line Specifies the Standard Line Interval for the whole document, using the number
of points selected.
Font & Size affect all
When checked, LightWayText changes all characters within the document
to the Standard font and size.
If unchecked, it does not affect the current situation.
Count Displays the number of items in the whole document, or the highlighted selection.
Words (LightWayText 4.1.2 onwards) shows the number of 'words';
a 'word' being a group of characters separated by a space.
Note: After you click OK, all histories of the multi-undo displaying
Undo commands are removed.
3.5.3. Page Layout Dialog (Only in Paper Image)
The Page Layout Dialog is displayed when you choose Page Layout... from the Format menu.
It allows you to set the dimensions of a page, also the margins, columns, number of characters
and lines etc.. These dimensions are based on a page-size specified with Page Setup command
and affect the whole current document, only effective in Paper Image.
You can also change the units (cms or inches) for setting this dialog,
with the General Preferences dialog of the Preferences command.
╩
Margin. Specifies each Margin in the current document.
You can also specify these quickly with Format Tools.
See 3.5.1. Format Tools.
The Margin is the space between the edge of the paper and the main text area,
you can use margins for the whole of the document.
If you wish to vary the distance between the text and margins for part of a
document, you had better change the indents to only the selected paragraphs
with Paragraph command, not use this.
Notice the difference between Margins and Indents, the Margins are the spaces
between the edges of the page and the edges of the main text area, and these are
effective throughout your document. The indent determines the distance from
the specific lines or paragraphs to the left or right margin boundaries,
and you can set each individual paragraph.
For the Indents, see 3.5.1.1.Paragraph Dialog.
Column. If you wish to divide your document into columns, you can set up to five on a page.
When you set columns, you can also set the distance between them with Space.
All spaces will be the same.
Number Specifies the number (2~5) of columns to divide within the page.
Space Specifies the interval between columns.
Width Shows the size of the columns.
All columns will have the same dimensions.

current document, specify 0.
It can set any of numbers (-99 to 999), LightWayText takes this number into
consideration and counts, indicates, and prints the page numbers in your document.
When set to less than 1, LightWayText will not indicate and print the page
numbers, Header, and Footer until page 1 of your document.
3.5.4. Header (Footer) Dialog (Only in Paper Image)
The Header or Footer Dialog is displayed when you choose Header... or Footer...
from the Format menu. It allows you to set the header and the footer within the document.
The Header is text which indicates and prints in the top margin of each page of a document,
and the Footer appears and prints in the bottom margin.
Both are only effective in Paper Image, when unchecked, these not appear nor are printed.
Also, if the Start Page Number is less than 1, these do not appear nor are they printed.
╩
Height Specifies how much height to display at the top (or the bottom) blank of paper.
Available values are limited by the top or bottom margins.
So, if you wish to take these equal to or more than one line, extend the top or

5. Regular Expression
When you execute the Find/Replace or the Find File commands, LightWayText allows you
to search the document with the Regular Expression.
If you check the Regular Expression option, LightWayText checks texts corresponding to
the specified conditional expressions and retrieves the occurrences.
In order to compose different conditions, you can use the specific characters called the
Regular Expression Meta-characters having the specified special meanings.
Also, you can use the Escape Sequence Characters such as a '\' character etc.,
to compose the conditional strings of the Regular Expression.
We have added some additional Regular Expression Meta-characters including
'(), {n,m}, {n,m}?, \n, &' to improve LightWayText 4.0.4E.
These changes and additions are shown in red.
If you have used earlier versions of LightWayText for some time, ensure that you keep
these changes in mind and be prepared to alter your previous descriptions.
Note: SED Regular Expression Meta-characters are a bit different from
these Regular Expression Meta-characters in some descriptions.
If you also intend to use the Stream Editor SED Tool,
please pay attention these.
For more details, see the 'Stream Editor SED Manual' of a separate volume
in the Stream Editor SED folder.
Meta-Characters
The following characters have special meaning only in the search and the
replacement patterns, with the Regular Expression.
. Matches any single character except newline.
[-]. Matches any one of the enclosed characters.
A hyphen (-) indicates a range of consecutive characters.
A hyphen or close bracket (]) as the first character is treated as
a member of the list. All other Meta-characters are treated as members
of the list (i.e., Literally).
[^-] Matches any one character not in the list of the enclosed characters.
A circumflex (^) as the first character in the brackets reverses the sense.
^ Matches the following Regular Expression at the beginning of the line or
strings.
$ Matches the preceding Regular Expression at the end of the line or strings.
(Regards the position of the line feed code as the end of the line.)
\w Matches an alphanumeric character.
(This is equal with [0-9A-Za-z_].)
\W Matches except for an alphanumeric character.
(This is equal with [^0-9A-Za-z_], and includes Symbols and the Japanese
characters.)
\s Matches a blank character. (This is equal with [\n\r\f\t].)
\S Matches except for a blank character. (This is equal with [^ \n\r\f\t].)
\d Matches a numeric character. (This is equal with [0-9].)
\D Matches except for a numeric character. (This is equal [^0-9].)
() Applies a match to the enclosed group or sub-expression of the
Regular Expressions.
The symbol '()' performs the opposite action in 'SED Regular Expression'.
| Matches the Regular Expression specified before or after.
A symbol (|) separates choice to match.
* Matches the sequence of zero or more preceding characters.
It matches any number (or none) of the individual character that immediately
precedes it. The preceding character can also be a Regular Expression
e.g. [since. (dot)] means any character.
[.*] means 'match any number of any character'.
+ Matches the sequence of one or more preceding characters.
It matches one or more instances of the preceding Regular Expressions.
The symbol '+' performs the opposite action in 'SED Regular Expression'.
? Matches the sequence of zero or one preceding.
It matches zero or one instances of the preceding Regular Expressions.
The symbol '?' performs the opposite action in 'SED Regular Expression'.
{n,m} Matches the range of instances.
It matches a range of occurrences of the single character that immediately
precedes it. The preceding character can also be a Meta-character.
{n} matches exactly 'n' occurrences, {n,} matches at least 'n' occurrences,
and {n,m} matches any number of occurrences between 'n' and 'm'.
'n' and 'm' must be between 0 and 255, inclusive. The symbol '{n,m}'
performs the opposite action in 'SED Regular Expression'.
*? Matches the shortest sequence of zero or one preceding characters.
It matches zero or more instances of the preceding Regular Expressions
with the shortest matching.
+? Matches the shortest sequence of zero or one preceding characters.
It matches one or more instances of the preceding Regular Expressions
with the shortest matching.
?? Matches the shortest sequence of zero or one preceding characters.
It matches zero or one instances of the preceding Regular Expressions
with the shortest matching.
{n,m}? Matches the shortest range of instances.
It matches a range of occurrences of the single character that immediately
precedes it with the shortest matching. Just like {n,m}, the preceding
character can also be a Meta-character.
\1~\9 Relays sub-pattern in match.
It relays the 'n th' sub-pattern enclosed in '\' into the pattern at this point.
'n' is number from 1 to 9, starting with 1 on the left.
& Relays the search pattern. It reuses the text matched by the search pattern
as part of the replacement pattern.
This symbol is only effective in replacement patterns.
\Character
Expresses the Escape-sequence Characters.
Escape-sequence Characters
The following characters have special meaning only with the backslash in front.
\xhh Number of the Hex code.
\xhhhh Double-bytes Number (Japanese "Zenkaku-Moji") of the Hex code.
\r Line Feed Character (CR) for Mac. (\x0d).
\n Line Feed Character for Unix. (\x0a).

(au)+ o au, auau, auauau, auauauau, ....
(mac|win)+ o mac, win, macmac, macwin, winmacwin, ....
If you wish to include any part which can abbreviate in patterns,
it might be convenient to use '?'.
[0-2]?\d:[0-5]\d([ap]m)?
o 1:30am, 23:59, 14:20pm, ...
You have (new )?mail\. o You have mail., You have new mail.
Example 6 The references using the sequence with the shortest matching.
If you wish to search whole strings like 'abXcdeXfgX', describe them like this.
.*X o Matches up to 'abXcdeXfgX' whole.
On the other hand, if you wish to search only the shortest matching strings like 'abX',
describe them like this using '*?, *?, ??'.
.*?X o Matches up only to 'abX'.
Example 7 The references using the sequence with the shortest matching.
If you wish to search the strings enclosed with brackets (e.g. '<<' and '>>'),
describe them like this.
If you wish to search the strings enclosed with brackets '<<' and '>>' from
'<<abc>> and <<def>>', describe them like this using '.*?'.
<<.*?>> o Matches up to '<<abc>>' and '<<def>>', exactly.
On the other hand, if you use '*.', it matches the sequence of '<<abc>> and <<def>>' whole,
does not distinguish the shortest parts from the longest matching.
.<<.*>> x Matches up to '<<abc>> and <<def>>' whole.
