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

Problem

Solutions: When a customer started typing, the cursor would jump and move all over the screen. The cursor would block, bold, and underline things on its own. The customer had defined the mouse under Setup to COM1, but there wasn't a mouse on COM1, there was a printer. WordPerfect was getting feedback from the printer thinking it was a mouse. The customer corrected this problem by pressing Shift-F1, 1, 1, 2 as fast as he could, to Auto-select the mouse driver. If the customer cannot do this fast enough, they can turn the printer on COM1 off, go into Setup and make the changes, then turn the printer back on, or the customer can rename the .SET file and rebuild it from scratch without defining COM1 as the mouse port.
