If you have COPIED the original block of text, it is now in the
buffer, but the original is also still on the document page.  So in
order to get 100 lines, you now only have to paste 99 times.  
If you had CUT the original phrase instead of copying it, it would
exist in the buffer, but NOT on the screen.  In this case you would
have to copy 100 times to get 100 lines on the screen.

\ans
When you want to MOVE information rather than DUPLICATE it, you want
the behavior of a CUT command.  In this instance, you want the
information to be taken from the screen and copied to the buffer.  You
can get it back from the buffer with a PASTE command.

\ans
Generally, if you want to modify or examine an ASCII file, a text
editor is all you need.  You could probably use a more complex
program, but you would need to wait longer for it to load, and you
would need to be careful that if the file was modified and saved, it
was saved in ASCII format.  A text editor nearly always saves in
straight ASCII.  Other programs do not automatically do so.

\ans
Either mode would work, but overwrite would require fewer keystrokes.
If you are in insert mode, you would first position the cursor over
the F, then hit the S key.  Your word would now be RESFUME.  You would
still need to delete the F, so you would move the cursor over it and
hit the DELETE key.  

In overwrite mode, you would still move the cursor over the F and type
an S, but this time the F would be replaced by the S.

Finally, if you are in insert mode, it may not make sense for you to
move to overwrite mode just to replace one letter.   It's really a
matter of personal preference, but make sure you understand how both
modes work so you can make an informed choice about what your
preference is.

\ans
Remember, the difference between RAM and ROM is that you cannot write
information to ROM.  Sure, ROM keeps its value when the computer loses
power, but you cannot write directly to it.  RAM is where data goes.
Use secondary storage media (like the hard drive and floppies) to make
copies of your data.  

\ans
No.  The stuff you see on the screen is just a {\bf copy} of the data.
It really exists in the RAM of your computer.  As long as power is
getting to that RAM, the data is still in your computer's memory.  You
don't even need a monitor, technically!  (I know of a typist who is
blind.  She has voice output software that lets her read back her
documents.  She doesn't have a monitor on her system.  She finds this
discourages people from using her computer without her permission!)

\ans 
WordPerfect is a full - featured word processor, Microsoft Works is an
integrated package, and SimpleText is a text editor.  Knowing this,
you have some idea what to expect from the programs.  WordPerfect is
more likely to have an outline editor, support for footnotes, and
spelling and grammar checkers.  It would probably be the most
difficult to learn, but these features might make it worth the effort.
The time you spend learning the advanced features may be saved by not
having to do all the spell checking with a dictionary.  

As usual, your personal preference is the key.  If you already are
comfortable with an integrated package, it might make more sense to
use it.  The best time to learn a more complex program is when you are
not pressed for time, but you do have a project in mind.  

\ans
GUI, as you remember, refers to a Graphic User Interface.  A GUI is
designed to make it easier for graphics to be presented on the screen.
WYSIWYG relies on graphics technology to simulate the printed page on
the screen.  A word processor in a GUI environment is MUCH more likely
to have WYSIWYG than a similar word processor in a command line
environment.

\ans
Save will save the document with the file name it currently has.  It
will not prompt you for a new name unless the file has no name.  Save
As would be a better option here, because you would get a chance to
see what the file name currently is.

\ans
Copy usually comes first, because you first copy a block into the
buffer, and then you paste it back into the document.

\ans
The buffer is also sometimes referred to as the clipboard or copy buffer.

\ans
Technically, no.  In typesetting, a font is a combination of typeface,
which is the style of the letters, and size.  In word processing, the
terms are often used interchangeably.  

\ans
Obviously, you need a program that can handle footnotes.  The tricky
thing is that sometimes footnotes are hidden in another feature called
footers.  You might also check to see if your program has a way to
automatically create a bibliography based on your footnotes.

\ans
Generally, outlines have a prescribed format.  They usually look
something like:

\begin{verbatim}
I.
  A.
    1.
    2.
    3.
  B.
    1.
    2.
    3.
\end{verbatim}
If you think about it carefully, you will see three different levels
of numbered lists!  Generally, there will be a way to tell the program
which numbering format you want to use.  Often, there will even be a
special list numbering option for outlines.  If you are dealing with
outlines, you may want to use an outline editor, available in more
powerful programs.  This feature probably will handle the numbering
for you automatically.

\ans 
This depends on how your computer is set up, and whether you have a
printer that can handle color.  Even if your printer cannot do color,
you might be able to print out the graphic as part of your document.
The graphic will be black and white in this case.  Check the print
preview to see how your document will turn out.  Sometimes even color
printers have the color turned off to save ink.  You may have to play
with the printer configurations to make the color turn up properly.

\ans
Sometimes you will use a word that is correct but used in the wrong
context.  A spelling checker had no trouble with the poem presented in
the text, although it was obviously wrong to human readers.  Spelling
checkers often also have problems with jargon or obscure terms.  The
chapter of this text on the Internet caused all kinds of problems,
because many of the terms we described did not exist when the spell
checker we were using was developed!
