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

Problem

Solutions: If a user is attempting to enter ASCII values via the numeric keypad, and it is not working, try toggling the Num Lock key. For example, a user attempted to put an escape code on their report definition by holding down the Alt key while typing 27 on the numeric keypad.

Some keyboards require that the Num Lock light be off before this process will work. However, since it is possible for a program to reverse the meaning of the light, it is better to simply toggle the key.

The Alt-Keypad option to enter ASCII characters is a function of the computer similar to the Print Screen key. If it won't work as DOS, it is related to the hardware, and the customer should contact the computer support or a computer dealer. Compose (Ctrl-V) is the WordPerfect feature to enter an ASCII character.
