How to display a text document

This can only be used if the file is a text (ASCII) document. If it has been created in a DTP package, such as WordWorth or Final Writer, then you will have to use the export function to change it into ASCII code. If you are using a text Editor such as ED, which saves the document automatically as text, you do not have to bother.

Follow these steps:

1) If the file does not have an icon load ICONEDIT located in the Tools directory and draw one.

2) Press the right mouse button and highlight the TYPE menu at the top of the screen. Whilst still holding your finger on the right mouse go down to and highlight PROJECT. Alternatively, you can press the RIGHT AMIGA KEY (The letter A at the bottom right-hand side of the keyboard) and press 4.

3) Save your icon by holding the right Amiga key and the letter A. Select your text document from the list and click on save. You can now close IconEdit.

4) In Workbench highlight your text document and click on INFORMATION from the pull-down menus. An information screen should appear showing a picture of the icon.

5) Click on the line marked DEFAULT TOOL: and type in MORE. Now click on save at the bottom-left of the screen.

6) Double-click the icon and the text will appear on the screen. Well done you have now used a text viewer to show your work!
