When you start a new sheet in PipeDream you are given six columns, each 12 characters wide. Although you can enter lines of text much wider than this in each column, it will make working with the name and address information simpler if, at this point, you make each of the columns in the document wider. You do this with the Width command in the LAYOUT menu.

Continue until you have set each of the columns A to F to a width of 24 characters. Notice that when you press the TAB key to get from column C to column D, the document moves to the left on the screen so that columns D and E come into view without the cursor position changing.

Enter the other names and addresses given below on lines 3, 4, 5, and 6 of your document in exactly the same way. Of course, if you prefer, you can compile your own list. If part of an address is too long to fit within one column, just keep typing; although you will not be able to see all the information in that column, it will be retained and you will be able to refer to it later.

Saving the document

Since by now you may have spent some time entering information into your document, it is a good idea to save a copy to the Cambridge Z88 filing system in case you accidentally lose the information during the next experiments. You save a copy of the document by using the same procedure as the one used for the party invitation.

Select the Save command by pressing the

First you need to specify which part of your document you want to sort. Move the cursor to slot A2, the top left-hand comer of the table of names and addresses, using the Image Removed Image Addedand Image Removed keys Image Added keys to move up and down the document and the TAB and SHIFT TAB commands

Mark slot A2 by giving the Mark Block command from the BLOCKS menu, or by typing Image Removed Image AddedZ.

Now mark the bottom right-hand corner of the table of names and addresses. Move the cursor down to row 6 and across to column F with the Image Removed key Image Added  key and the TAB command. Then give the Mark Block command again. When you have completed the second Mark Block command, the entire table of names and addresses will be selected and shown highlighted on the screen.

You will see that the names and addresses have been correctly sorted within the table. You can clear the marked block by giving the Clear Mark command from the BLOCKS menu, or by pressing Image Removed Image AddedQ:

You could, of course, have sorted the information on a different heading by specifying another column, rather than column A, when you gave the Sort command. For example, you may like to experiment with sorting the same names and addresses on the Town column, or on the column containing the peoples' ages.

You can see how much space is available in a document at any time by typing Image Removed Image AddedO to display the Options Page. The number of characters of space available is given after the heading Free on the right-hand side of the Options Page display. Press ESC return to your document.

Select the Search command from the BLOCKS menu in the usual way: display the BLOCKS menu with the MENU key

The Search command displays a number of options which allow you to specify exactly what you want to search for, and whether you want to restrict the search to a particular part of your table of information.

To print out the information in your name and address list as an orderly table, select the Print option from the PRINT menu. Press the MENU key

Since the total width of the table of names and addresses is 144 characters (six columns of 24 characters) it will probably be too wide to fit across the width of the paper on your printer; most printers will only print 80 characters. You will therefore need to print the table in two sections, by selecting a range of columns in each case.
