Abstract: The specification discloses a method for adjusting text in a word processing system when the insert mode is completed. An indicator is set to indicate a change active condition if a change is made to the current line of text when an establish insert mode key is depressed by the operator. The indicator is interrogated to determine if a change active condition has been indicated when a terminate insert mode key is later depressed by the operator. When a change active condition is detected, the line end codes for the current line of text are adjusted to provide an adjusted line. The adjusted line is then interrogated to determine whether a paragraph boundary or page end code is included. If no paragraph boundary or page end code is included, the adjusted line is interrogated to determine whether a change was made in the line end code. Each succeeding line following the adjusted line is adjusted until a paragraph boundary or page end code is encountered or no change in the line end code is made for that line.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improved system for verifying the spelling and providing hyphenation points for text words from a plurality of interspersed languages. The control system includes control codes which are inserted in the text to define the language of the text following the control code. The system accepts the control codes and responds by comparing the text following the control code against a storage dictionary of correctly spelled words and hyphenation points for the language associated with the control code. The system provides as an output an indicator of whether the word is correctly spelled or where the proper hyphenation points for the word appears. The systemn further includes control codes which when detected will cause blocks of data which should not be compared to the storage dictionary to be skipped.
