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

Problem

Symptoms: If you have mapped the Enter key on a keyboard, you cannot enter a password on a document. One user assigned the codes {BELL}{Enter} to the Enter key. It works fine in the document screen, but not when typing and entering a password. Solutions: This feature is working as designed. For security reasons, macros cannot submit passwords on any WPCorp programs.

How/Why:
As soon as you enter the Password feature, the macro attached to the Enter key does not play. It records as a keystroke that becomes part of the password being assigned. You should unselect the keyboard (Ctrl-6) when entering a password if any of the keystrokes used for the password happen to be remapped.
