WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: After installing the Russian 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. First, change the display option for WP to use the correct screen Fonts. 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. 4. Press Exit (F7) to return to the normal editing screen Second, select a keyboard layout to assign or "map" Russian characters to your keyboard keys. 1. Press Setup (Shift-F1) 2. Select Keyboard Layout (5) 3. Move the cursor to one of the three Russian keyboard layouts and choose Select (1) to select it 4. Press Exit (F7) to return to the normal editing screen Third, set up your printer to print Cyrillic characters. This involves selecting the printer from the .ALL files provided with the Language Module and editing the definition to tell WP which Cyrillic cartridges or soft fonts you have available. The procedure for doing this is described in Printer, Select in the WordPerfect Reference Manual. NOTES: Pressing Ctrl-6 in WordPerfect temporarily changes the WP keyboard selection to your original keyboard. Pressing Ctrl-6 twice changes the original keyboard back to the Russian Language Module keyboard you selected. For more information about keyboard layouts, see Keyboard Layout in the WordPerfect Reference Manual. If you are using a DOS keyboard driver (common in many non-English speaking countries), it may conflict with the WP Russian keyboard layout. Before selecting the Russian 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. You can select most options from WP menus by typing a number. You must respond to some prompts (e.g., Yes/No), however, by typing a letter. Before you type the letter, press Ctrl-6 to return to the original keyboard temporarily. To avoid printing problems, select only the cartridges and soft fonts you have, and make sure that you specify where your soft fonts can be found (Shift-F7, S, 3, 6). Also, initialize your printer (Shift-F7, 7) after you have set up the definition. If you do not have Cyrillic cartridges and soft fonts, WP can create the characters graphically on many printers. It will take much longer, however, to print several graphics characters than it will to print the same number of text characters. Also, the print quality is better when you print text characters. Third-party Cyrillic soft fonts are supported by WordPerfect Corporation printer drivers. However, Cyrillic fonts written by WPCorp were not added to the HP Drivers until the 08/29/91 release of printers.
