Converting 5.0 Keyboards Into 5.1 |

WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: If you have created a keyboard in 5.0, and bring that keyboard into 5.1, there are some rather unique things that will happen. Because certain features where not mapped to the keyboard in 5.0 (or not available in 5.0), the converted keyboard will not have those keystrokes. Even though you don't see that keystroke defined in the keyboard editing screen they will function as they did in 5.0. To correct the problem the user will need to edit the keyboard and define something to the key the that is not functioning as it should. After assigning a function to that key, delete the key/definition from the keyboard. The key will then operate as it was meant to in 5.1. A good example of this, and one that you might see quite often is the Alt= key. In 5.0 this key combination gave the Exit/Save prompt. In 5.1 Alt= gives pull down menus. When Alt= is press when using a keyboard that was created in 5.0 it will give the Exit/Save prompt and not the pull down menus. At that point simply enter the Keyboard Layout menu and define something to the Alt= keystroke, then delete Alt= from the mapped key list. Alt= when pressed will then give the pull downs. |
