WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: Using the Escape key with Line Draw speeds up the drawing process. To use the ESC key with Line Draw, customers must first start the Line Draw feature (Ctrl-F3). Once in Line Draw mode, take the following steps:

1.      Press the desired drawing or movement option
2.      Press ESC and enter the number of spaces/vertical lines desired
3.      Press the arrow key for the direction needed

For example, to draw a single horizontal line 20 characters long, turn on Line Draw and select option 1. Next press the ESC key, enter the number 20 and press the Right Arrow. A horizontal line 20 characters long will appear on the screen.

The Home and End keys do not function when using Line Draw in WordPerfect 4.2. Pressing the Home key twice and an arrow key does function as expected in WP 5.0 and 5.1. The ESC key also can be used with the Erase and Move options.
