Keyboard Definition - Macros Not Working Corr
DocumentID: 601138
Revision Date: 29-Feb-96 1:28:36 PM

The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: If the customer selects a different keyboard definition within WordPerfect, Shell macros will not run properly. For example, the customer has a Shell macro that retrieves a file from Mail and then resaves the file into the user's WordPerfect default directory. If the customer uses the Spanish soft keyboard definition (from the language module), the filename for the file to be saved under is not correct. The document should save as C:\FAX. However, the file saves as CNCFAX. This problem occurs because, on the Spanish keyboard, the colon (:) is changed to an N, and the backslash (\) is changed to a C. The Shell macro seems to be accessing the keyboard file that is resident in memory instead of actually printing the characters as they appear in the macro. Other customers have had similar problems running predefined Shell macros such as PRINT.SHM when a language module keyboard or custom keyboard is selected. Users can deselect the keyboard to avoid the problem. Solutions: Status:      Working as Designed
