Hyphenation - The Code [/] Appearing Instead |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: A customer using hyphenation felt that it was not working. Each time the program came across a word requiring hyphenation, it prompted the user to "Position hyphen; Press ESC." The words did not appear to be hyphenating. When the user checked Reveal Codes they saw a bracketed forward slash [/] instead of the regular bracketed hyphen [-]. The [/] code is the cancel hyphenation code. The user did not remember pressing cancel when hyphenating. After troubleshooting the problem, the customer found that they were using the ALTRNAT keyboard. The Alternate keyboard remaps the ESC key to do the cancel function (F1). When using the ALTRNAT keyboard, users should press F3 instead of ESC when prompted to "Position hyphen; Press ESC." Similar situations occur when using the ENHANCED keyboard. The Home key in this keyboard is mapped to press Home, Home, Home, Left Arrow. Because of this, users wanting to cancel a hyphenation prompt will need to use the enhanced Home (En Home) key with the forward slash (/). |
