An automatic text processing system, wherein a text is printed by a typewriter and simultaneously recorded line by line in corresponding blocks of a magnetic tape. The system automatically prints the address of the block in which each line is stored, whereby an operator can cause the system to print selected lines of the text by posting the corresponding addresses on the typewriter. The lines or paragraphs of a text can be cancelled or added and their succession can be changed, by posting the addresses of the lines which are to be cancelled, added or shifted in the text. The fair copy is then automatically printed with the lines justified according to a format selected by the operator. According to another embodiment the system can be used to automatically search the information recorded on the magnetic tape.
