Language Modules - Soft Keyboard Keys Not Fun |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: Customers have encountered the following problems when using a keyboard definition with a Language Module in WP: 1. Unable to mark soft fonts with the asterisk with the Portuguese Language Module and the Portuguese keyboard selected. 2. Unable to re-enter WP after having exited the program incorrectly (leaving the temporary files open) when using the Russian and Greek Language Modules. When they start WP again, they are returned to a DOS prompt when they answer either Y or N to the message "Are Other Copies Of WP Running Y/N?" 3. When a customer using the Arabic or Hebrew Language Module tries to type an Arabic or Hebrew word (using a soft keyboard) as the password to protect a file, the prompt for the password disappears when the customer types a character. 4. Unable to make the desired menu selections. For example, when a user trying to print selects 1 for full document, the number 1 represents a letter in some languages and therefore does not instruct the program to print the full document when selected. (The customer was using the Russian language module.) Answer: The Language Modules come with multiple keyboard definitions that remap many of the keys. Two of the many keys that are remapped in one of the keyboards on the Russian and Greek Language modules are the number 1 and the letter S. With the keyboard running, one will need to press Ctrl-6 to temporarily turn the keyboard off in order to make the desired menu selections. After the selections have been made the keyboard can then be turned back on by pressing Ctrl-6, Ctrl-6. If one knows what the desired key has been remapped to they may use it instead of turning off the keyboard. For example, the number 1 in the Russian language module has been remapped to Shift-1 and can be obtained by pressing that keystroke. This information is included in the language module documentation. Because the language modules are considered Add On products most customers are just happy to have them and do not mind the switching between keyboards. If a customer purchases a program designed specifically for a particular language, changing keyboards is not needed because the whole product is created for that language. (A true Russian product will have correct mnemonics and menu numbers in relation to the language.) Status: Working as Designed ***|wad|*** Press Enter on link token to view statement. |
