Problem

Solutions: Many customers are confused about how to calculate a character number from a WP Character Set table when they want to use the Compose feature. They don't understand that the bolded numbers to the left and above the table are coordinates which are used to reference the characters.

The best method for teaching the customer how to do this is by showing them an example. For instance, an operator might help them create the British pound character (L) in Set 4. The bolded number to the far left of this character is 0, and the one directly above is 11. Therefore, the character number for L is the sum of 0 and 11, which is 11. Since the L character is found in Character Set 4, it is created by pressing Compose (Ctrl-V), typing 4,11, and pressing Enter. To see the character displayed, the customer may have to go into View Document.

Put a tally next to this item if you receive a call where the customer is confused about the process of determining a character number in the character table.

This item was tracked for 18 weeks and received an average of 259 calls per week. The documentation was changed in the latest reprint of the manual to include an example of how to use the Character Set tables. (Archived October 7, 1991)
