ABSTRACT:
An electronic typewriter has a right margin zone hyphenation system operable with an error correction function to provide a reasonably aligned right margin of printed lines on a work sheet. To hyphen a word or a partial word printed in the hyphenation zone, the operator positions a print mechanism to a hyphen position within the word and depresses a hyphen key. The electronics automatically erases the characters at the hyphen position and to the right of the hyphen position, prints a hyphen at the hyphen position, moves the print mechanism to a left margin, indexes the work sheet and prints the characters erased from the preceding line at the left margin on the next line. The hyphenation system is also operable to automatically erase an entire word in the hyphenation zone and reprint the word on the next line.
