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

Problem

Solutions: Most WordPerfect 5.1 Language Modules include a keyboard driver to assign or "map" characters that are specific to that language to your keyboard keys. The Language Module keyboard layout is based on the IBM standard keyboard layout for that language. You can also modify this keyboard definition or create one of your own (see Keyboard Layout in the WordPerfect Reference Manual).

To select a keyboard layout,
1.      Press Setup (Shift-F1)
2.      Select Keyboard Layout (5)
3.      Move the cursor to the keyboard layout provided with the Language Module, then choose Select (1) to select it
4.      Press Exit (F7) to return to the normal editing screen

Pressing Ctrl-6 in WP temporarily changes the WP keyboard selection to your original keyboard. Pressing Ctrl-6 twice changes the original keyboard back to the Language Module keyboard you selected.

If you are using a DOS keyboard driver (common in many English speaking countries), it may conflict with the WordPerfect keyboard layout provided with the Language Module. Before selecting the keyboard, press Ctrl-Alt-F1 to disable the DOS keyboard driver. When you wish to use the dos keyboard driver again, press Ctrl-Alt-F2.
