WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: The Hebrew and Arabic Language Modules ship with the following files that are the same names as some WordPerfect 5.1 files. The LM files will overwrite the existing WP files: WP.EXE WP.FIL WP.DRS WP.LRS VGA512.FRS VGA512.CHM EGA512.FRS EGA512.CHM HRF6.FRS HRF6.CHM CHARACTR.DOC If a person has either language module and they install an update to WP 5.1, the Language Module and WP will probably not work correctly. If they have other language modules, they too will not work if the Hebrew or Arabic is installed into the main WP 5.1 directory. It is recommended that customers install the Language Module into a separate directory. Installation To install the Language Module: 1. Insert the Language Module 1 diskette into drive A: 2. Go to the DOS prompt 3. Enter A: to change to the A> prompt 4. Enter LMINSTAL at the A> prompt 5. Respond to the prompts as directed The Hebrew and Arabic Language Modules ship with the following files that are the same names as some WordPerfect 5.1 files. The LM files will overwrite the existing WP files. To retain the original copy of WordPerfect, install WordPerfect and the Arabic/Hebrew Language Module in a separate directory. (Example, C:\WPARABIC or C:\WPHEBREW.) The Installation program copies the following files: Screen font files - (Resides in the directory where the WP.EXE is stored) EGA512.FRS EGA 512 Character Display VGA512.FRS VGA 512 Character Display HRF6.FRS RamFont 512 Character Display Character Map files for Screen Fonts - (Resides in the directory where the WP.EXE is stored) EGA512.CHM EGA Character Map VGA512.CHM VGA Character Map HRF6.CHM RamFont Character Map Other files WP.EXE WordPerfect program file WP.FIL WordPerfect program file WP.DRS Display resource file WP.LRS Language resource file CHARACTR.DOC WordPerfect file showing Arabic/Hebrew characters *.WPK Keyboard layout files *.WCP User-defined code pages Older versions of the Hebrew and Arabic Language Modules also installed *.SFL & *.SFP files. These are landscape and portrait printer soft font files. The Arabic (04/27/93) and Hebrew (05/19/93) Language Modules ship with a TrueType for WordPerfect package that provides TrueType fonts for Arabic/Hebrew characters. This helped increase the printing speed. To install the TrueType fonts: 1. Insert the TrueType diskette and type a:\TTINSTAL from the DOS prompt. 2. Follow the prompts in the installation. 3. After installing, use TTWP to start WordPerfect, instead of WP. 4. Select the TTWP printer driver. (See page %%%%%% for help selecting the printer.) Starting WordPerfect After installing the Arabic/Hebrew Language Module, you need to make three changes the first time you run WordPerfect. Because these changes are saved to your WP{WP}.SET file, you only need to make them once. Keyboard Three Arabic/Hebrew keyboard layouts are included with the Arabic/Hebrew Language Module: the standard Soviet keyboard (Arabic/Hebrew1.WPK), the AATSEEL standard keyboard (Arabic/Hebrew2.WPK), and the AATSEEL student keyboard (Arabic/Hebrew3.WPK). You can also modify these keyboards or create one of your own (see Keyboard Layout in the WordPerfect Reference Manual). One set of Arabic/Hebrew key cals (stickers) is also included with the module. The key cals can be placed on the keys that correspond to the soft keyboard that is selected. To select a keyboard layout to assign or "map" Arabic/Hebrew characters to your keyboard keys: 1. Press Setup (Shift-F1) 2. Select Keyboard Layout (5) 3. Move the cursor to one of the three Arabic/Hebrew keyboard layouts and choose Select (1) to select it 4. Press Exit (F7) to return to the normal editing screen The Arabic/Hebrew3 keyboard is based on phonetic equivalents for Latin characters. The Arabic/Hebrew2 and Arabic/Hebrew3 keyboards contain "dead keys" for creating Arabic/Hebrew vowels with acute or grave marks. To create a vowel with an acute accent, press Alt-/, then type the vowel. To create a vowel with a grave accent, press Alt-\, then type the vowel. 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. To see a display of the characters on the keyboard, press Help (F3) from the normal editing screen, and a diagram of the keys will appear. (Pressing F3 again will display the regular Help screen.) Retrieve the file KEYBOARD.WP (located in the directory that contains WP.EXE) and print that file, and it will show the location of each of the keys. The KEYBOARD.WP file is not specific to the language version of the Language Module. There is a file called KEYBOARD.WP that ships with the LM's. The file included with the Hebrew LM is only the Hebrew keyboards and the file included with the Arabic/Hebrew is only the Arabic/Hebrew keyboards. Two of the many keys that are remapped in one of the keyboards on the Arabic/Hebrew and Arabic/Hebrew 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 Arabic/Hebrew language module has been remapped to Shift-1 and can be obtained by pressing that keystroke. Display To display Arabic/Hebrew characters on the screen, the user must switch to 512 Character Display from the Setup menu. 1. Press Setup (Shift-F1) 2. Select Display (2), then select Colors/Fonts/Attributes (1) 3. Select 512 Character Display (5) if you are using EGA or VGA display, or Select 6 Fonts, 512 Characters (3) if you are using Hercules RamFont display. (Make sure /MONO startup option is not being used in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file or on the startup of WordPerfect) 4. Press Exit (F7) to return to the normal editing screen. Printer Setup (Set up the printer to print Arabic/Hebrew characters.) This involves selecting the printer from the .ALL files provided with the Language Module or the TrueType program telling WP which Arabic/Hebrew soft fonts you have available. To select the printer: 1. Press Print (Shift+F7). 2. Choose Select Printer (S). 3. Select Additional Printers (2). 4. Select from the printers that display (TTWP) after the name. Bidirectional cursor movement in the Arabic and Hebrew Language Modules: To change a paragraph to read from left to right press Ctrl-R To change a paragraph to read form right to left press Ctrl-L To toggle a sentence within a paragraph press Ctrl-F6 Code Pages: The Arabic Language Module supports the following code pages: 708, 709, 710, 786, 864, and 868. If one of the code pages do not work properly, the .WCP file can be modified to match the ASCII tables of the other word processor. Command Problems/Solutions: SYMPTOM The user is receiving the message "Error: WordPerfect Hardware Key Not Connected" when entering WordPerfect with the hardware key installed. The user has correctly installed the security key with the Arabic Language Module. The user does not receive this message if their printer is not hooked up to the security key. SOLUTION The reason this problem occurs is the printer is turned off when the user enters WordPerfect. The user must have the printer turned on before entering WP to avoid the error message. Another user received this error after installing the Hebrew Language Module. This user had not properly installed the hardware security key (dongle) to the parallel port of the computer. The security key, also referred to as a hardware key or dongle, is a form of copy protection used by several of the WordPerfect Language Modules and international programs. The key is included with the software package and is designed to plug into the 25-pin parallel port on the back of the computer. If the software is run without the hardware key installed properly, the message "Error: WordPerfect Hardware Key Not Connected" and the user must install the device before the program will begin.
