Annotation
Few WP users know how to put all 1,893 characters available in the program to use. This book explains how to type all these characters, how keyboard layouts can be designed to facilitate typing of specific characters, how to have characters displayed on the screen, and how to print them. The book also discusses the various language codes in WordPerfect, and the hyphenation rules and the dictionaries used in these language codes. The book includes a diskette with the many clever macros and keyboard definitions described in the book, such as a macro to switch between keyboards, a keyboard layout for typing Japanese (both hiragana and katakana), and macros to transliterate Greek or Cyrillic.
