Some Standard Keyboard Keys Cannot Be Mapped
DocumentID: 651332
Revision Date: 29-Feb-96 8:29:06 PM

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

Problem

Symptoms: When doing keyboard layout, the Control-2 (on the keypad), Control-5 (on the keypad), and Control-8 (on the keypad) cannot be mapped on Standard Keyboards but can be mapped on Enhanced Keyboards. Also, Shift and any keypad number cannot be mapped on either style of keyboard. Also the 5 on the keypad without Num Lock on cannot be mapped on Standard Keyboards. Solutions: This is a BIOS limitation. If the machine can't map the keys, neither can WordPerfect. Enhanced keyboards are called "Enhanced" because they can map more keys. You might want to get a table (map) of standards compared to Enhanced keys from a technical reference manual.
