                        EMACS SUI as a Word Processor

As seen in HELP screen #15, you can set the right and left margins, which  apply
only when  you  are  in  EMACS's "fill mode."  This mode also provides a form of
automatic "word wrap,"  one of the basic features of a Word Processor (WP).  You
can  even  fill  and  justify  paragraphs on the screen.  (See the fill_para and
untidy commands.  The fill_para command is bound to ESC-q in SUIX mode.)

However, there are MANY things that a WP does that EMACS cannot do.   While  you
can  set  and reset both left and right margins anytime while editing your text,
you  can't  store  those  margins with your text.  This means that when you come
back  to  a  given area of your file that you typed and formatted with different
margins,  EMACS  will  not "remember" that this is an area of "special margins."
The same  thing holds for tab stops.  In summary:  "No `format lines' in EMACS."

Furthermore, there is NO WAY to get automatic  pagination;  or  underscoring  or
boldfacing  appearing  on  your screen in editable format; or typefont changing.
For such advanced services, you need to use a batch formatter or a real WP.

EMACS is optimized for general text-file editing, for the production  of  source
files in many computer languages, and for efficient interfacing to PRIMOS.
