Automatic writing systems and methods of word processing therefor are provided in accordance with the teachings of the present invention wherein a central processor and a plurality of peripherals including at least keyboard means, printer means, buffer means and means for recording data on a record media are each connected to a common data bus, a common status bus and a common instruction word bus and a printer data storage peripheral means is connected to said common data bus and said common instruction word bus. Alphameric character data, format data, and function data may be entered from the keyboard and the presence of such data is indicated to the central processor on the common status bus. Upon receipt of a data presence condition, program control is initiated by the central processor calculated to achieve the designated function or functions with the alphameric or format data presented. The manner as asynchronous operation in data translation between a plurality of peripherals and a central processor enables a multitude of editing, revision, control and manipulation steps to be accomplished in the central processor under program control while allowing the overall automatic writing system to be highly flexible in operation and readily expandable.
