Difference Between Ctrl-V and Ctrl-2 |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer wanted to know the difference between Ctrl-V and Ctrl-2. Solutions: This answer was found in WordPerfect the Magazine, July 1991, p. 18. When using Compose to access special characters, pressing Ctrl-V displays the prompt Key =. The numbers you type for the desired character will be displayed. Pressing Ctrl-2 won't cause a prompt to be displayed and the numbers you press won't appear on the screen. However, after you type the numbers and press Enter, the character will appear on the screen in both instances. Note: While you're in the Equation Editor, Macro Editor and Document Summary, you can't use Ctrl- V to access special characters. You must use Ctrl-2. In releases 05/31/91 and later the compose characters can be accessed in equations by using the Ctrl-V or Ctrl-2 keystrokes. Previous releases of 5.1 can only access Compose characters with Ctrl-2. |
