The Braille and Speech Friendly WordPerfect 6.0 Keyboard
Version 1.02
Copyright (C) 1993, JB Software
Introduction
My favorite word processor of all time has always been
WordPerfect. I started using it with version 4.1 when it
was really small and fast. Now version 6.0 is here. It is
much bigger and somewhat slower on 286 machines, but what
power!
When I had heard that WP was working on this product, I
became concerned about the possible ramifications for blind
users. I contacted them and they put me on their beta team.
My first impression of the product was fear. I had become
accustomed to the look and feel of WordPerfect. I loved
those full screen menus, those menu driven help screens, and
the nice prompts for deleting blocks of text at the bottom
of the screen. These are no longer here. The product looks
and feels much different for a blind user. The character
mode they talk about when you call is much different than
the old 5.0/5.1 interface.
This sent me on a mission to concur the great WP 6.0! This
document along with the keyboard files provided is the
partial answer to my mission.
This document is intended for those with good experience
with configuring applications. It is not meant to be a
guided tour on how to configure WordPerfect 6.0. Consult
your vendor of your access technology to see if they have
developed a configuration for WordPerfect 6 yet. If not,
send this package to them to assist them in developing that
configuration. Every little bit helps in this industry.
Legal Stuff
I have spent a great deal of time developing this keyboard
definition file. This product will be continually upgraded.
It is my intent to provide a new interface than the current
design that WordPerfect has implemented. I will be
tailoring the interface specifically for braille and speech
users.
If you continue to use this product after 30 days a
contribution of 10 dollars would be greatly appreciated. If
you are an access technology vendor, and you would like to
incorporate this keyboard file into your product, please
contact me. I have no problems with this but would
appreciate it if you would mention how this was obtained in
your documentation. Again, please contact me as new
versions will be made quickly. I would also like to discuss
how you will implement this in your application.
I will be keeping a list of vendors who have incorporated
this keyboard file into their product. any configurations
that have been developed for your screen reader would be
helpful if you would be willing to pass them along. I will
maintain a library of these as well.
What did I Find?
1. The menus
One of the most challenging parts of WP 6.0 is its new
menus. Overall, the new menus place the system cursor
on the highlighted menu item, making it even easier to
use than 5.1 was. The only problem is that the
document stays on the screen surrounding the menu
itself. Now you will hear parts of the document if you
read the whole line while on a menu item, bad news!
2. Deleting of Codes
One of the nicest things about 5.1 was that when you
deleted a code from a document, you got a prompt at the
bottom of the screen asking if you really wanted to do
that (assuming reveal codes was not on). Well, all
good things must come to an end. WordPerfect 6.0 now
pops up a cute little dialog window asking you the same
question. I did not like this as it will be a little
more difficult to set up screen reading configurations.
What the heck, life is full of challenges.
3. The Dreaded help system
I love online help. I feel that every computer product
should have it and it should work really well.
WordPerfect changed their help system to a hypertext
help system. You will now have to point at items with
a cursor key and press <ENTER> on them to get them to
come up. I feel this will be the most difficult
challenge in configuring WordPerfect 6.0.
One other problem exists in the help system. There are
buttons across the bottom of the screen where the
system cursor resides. Moving the cursor up and down
will continue to speak this line to you without some
tricky configuring. this one I have not yet figured
out a way to handle yet.
4. Crowding up the Dialog Menu
With the release of WordPerfect 6.0, WordPerfect has
introduced new text dialog menus. I love them, BUT!
Most of the menus are just great. There are a few that
have more than one column of choices. This means, if
you read the current line, you will hear two menu
choices. If you are not careful, you will not know
which one you are on. With some careful learning, this
should not be a problem. Be careful.
5. Inconsistent Dialogs
I found that one of the Dialogs does not allow the
screen to be cleared when it pops up. I contacted
WordPerfect and they have not decided if this is a bug
or not. The dialog in question is the control-F4 key
(the move dialog). For this reason, this dialog will
be a little more difficult to configure.
What Did I concur?
Since many of us use different screen reading packages, I
thought it would be best to attack a great deal of the
challenge in configuring WordPerfect 6.0 with WordPerfect's
own macro language. For this reason, I have developed a
WordPerfect keyboard file for WP 6.0 that hopefully will
assist in making WordPerfect 6.0 better for all when setting
up configurations. The rest of this document describes this
keyboard file and the way that it should be used when
configuring WP 6.0.
What files are included in this package?
The following files are included in this package:
File Name Description
wpbsfikb.wp This is this documentation in
WordPerfect 6.0 format.
READ.ME This is this documentation in ASCII text.
bsfisetp.wpm This is a small macro that is used to setup
specific options necessary for optimum use
with the new keyboard file. This macro turns
off the pull-down menus from displaying by
default and sets the measurements to inches
(using the letter I).
wpbsfikb.wpk this is the main keyboard macro file that
contains the special macros for WordPerfect
6.0.
What does this keyboard file provide?
This special keyboard file provides prompts on the status
line for all Dialogs that can be invoked by the use of
function keys and other keyboard commands.
When configuring your screen reader for this keyboard file,
look for a caret (^) followed by any text. Each special
prompt will begin with the caret symbol (^) and end with
that same symbol. this distinguishes other WordPerfect
prompts that might appear. In my experience, no other
prompts or information shown on the left side of the status
line is of any value (with the exception of the filename and
the current font of the document). All special
prompts/messages will remain in columns 1 through 49 of the
status line. Keep this in mind when configuring your access
technology.
When a dialog comes up, you will be told by a message on the
status line. When you have completed your activity in that
dialog, you will be told when you have returned to the main
editing screen. I added this simply because it can be
difficult to tell when WordPerfect reacts to a key. the new
version 6.0 can be sluggish on some systems. Be patient, it
will communicate to you eventually. I say this only to make
sure that if you are running on a 286 system, that
responsiveness might be redefined from your experience with
WordPerfect 5.1 or earlier.
Other techniques have been implemented in this keyboard file
to assist in screen reading technology configuration. Refer
to the chart on the following page(s) for further
information on what techniques have been made to assist you.
Each key that has been redefined is described in detail.
The keys are listed in groupings. In some instances
multiple keys are listed together when the same function
applies to a set of keys that has been re-defined.
The following chart shows each key that is defined in the
keyboard file and how it has changed from the WP default.
If you do not like the way this key functions with the use
of this keyboard file, delete that keyboard definition from
the keyboard layout in setup (shift-F1, keyboard, edit).
CHART 1
This chart shows the basic normal function key layout. Some
additional keys are also shown that apply with the key being
explained. for example, the CONTROL-B key is described
along with the F6 key since they perform the same function.
Key Meaning Description
F1 HELP This key clears the current document off of the
screen and brings up the help screen for the
current area. A message is also displayed
surrounded by caret symbols (^) informing you that
the help screen has been invoked.
F2 Search This key clears the current document off of the
screen and pops up the search dialog (the normal
function for this key). You are notified of this
with a message on the status line. Once the
search completes, you will be notified that you
have returned to the editing screen.
F3 Switch This key allows you to switch to any document you
wish. WordPerfect supports up to 9 documents open
at any given time. When you hit this key, the
screen clears and you are presented with the
"switch to document" dialog. When you select a
number, a message on the status line informs you
which document you have opened. This makes it
nice if you accidentally hit the wrong document
number.
F4 Indent
SHIFT-
F4 LR INDENT
TAB TAB
Shift-
TAB BackTAB
CONTROL-
F6 Decimal
Tab
ALT-
F6 Flush Right
SHIFT-
F6 Center These seven keys move the cursor through the
document by their respective functions. When
these keys are hit, the new position will be shown
on the status line (surrounded by caret symbols).
this allows for easy editing in multi-columns and
when aligning up text in paragraphs.
F5 List Files This key will clear the screen and invoke the
list files screen. A message on the status
line will inform you of your entrance into
and out of this function.
CHART 1 (CONTINUED)
Key Meaning Description
F6 Bold and
F8 Underline These two keys will inform you of the state of the
bold and underline functions. You will know when
bold is on, when bold is off, and when a blocked
area is bolded. This also holds true with the
underline key. These messages are displayed on
the status line and are surrounded by caret
symbols (^). the control-B (bold) and control-U
(underline) keys also provide the same
functionality as F6 and F8 do.
F10 Save This key will clear the screen and invoke the
"Save Document" dialog. A message on the status
line will inform you of your entrance into and out
of this function.
CHART 2
The following keys in the chart below are those function
keys accessed by pressing the SHIFT key (SHIFT-F1 through
SHIFT-F12). For this reason, the shift key will not be
shown in the KEY column when the keys are listed.
Key Meaning Description
F1 Setup This key invokes the "SETUP DIALOG". the
screen is cleared and a message is displayed
on the status line telling you that the
dialog is being invoked. A message after the
dialog is closed is also displayed.
F2 REV Search This key invokes the search function (in
reverse). the screen is cleared and a
message is placed on the status line. When
Search is completed, a message letting you
know that you are in the document screen is
displayed.
F3 Switch This key invokes the Switch document function.
this key switches between the last two windows
opened. When you switch to a different document,
that document number is displayed in a message on
the status line. this is done so that you always
no which document is currently being edited.
F4 LR Indent Refer to chart 1 for a description of the indent
and LR Indent functions. This key is grouped
along with five others that perform the same
function. Look for the "F4" key in this chart for
the five key grouping.
F5 Date This key invokes the "DATE DIALOG". the screen is
cleared and a message is displayed on the status
line telling you that the dialog is being invoked.
A message after the dialog is closed is also
displayed.
F6 Center Refer to CHART 1. for details on this key.
F7 Print This key invokes the "PRINT DIALOG". the
screen is cleared and a message is displayed
on the status line telling you that the
dialog is being invoked. A message after the
dialog is closed is also displayed.
F8 Format This key invokes the "FORMAT DIALOG". the screen
is cleared and a message is displayed on the
status line telling you that the dialog is being
invoked. A message after the dialog is closed is
also displayed.
F9 Merge Codes This key invokes the "MERGE CODES DIALOG".
the screen is cleared and a message is
displayed on the status line telling you that
the dialog is being invoked. A message after
the dialog is closed is also displayed.
CHART 2 (CONTINUED)
Key Meaning Description
F10 Retrieve This key differs from the standard WordPerfect
functionality. This key will invoke the "RETRIEVE
DIALOG" instead of the "OPEN FILE DIALOG". This
key now acts similar to the way that 5.1 did in
that you can retrieve a document into the current
one being edited. the standard 6.0 key opens a
new document when the file is loaded. The screen
is cleared and the dialog is presented. A message
is placed on the status line informing you of the
dialog being invoked. You are also notified when
the dialog is closed.
F11 Redline This key has been written to assist in redlining
documents. This key acts very similar to the bold
key. You are notified when redlining is on, off,
and when text that is blocked is redlined.
F12 Strikeout This key has been written to assist in striking
out document text. This key acts very similar to
the bold key. You are notified when strike out is
on, off, and when text that is blocked is striked
out.
CHART 3
The following keys in the chart below are those function
keys accessed by pressing the CONTROL key (CONTROL-F1
through CONTROL-F12). For this reason, the shift key will
not be shown in the KEY column when the keys are listed.
Key Meaning Description
F1 Shell This key invokes the "SHELL DIALOG". the
screen is cleared and a message is displayed
on the status line telling you that the
dialog is being invoked. A message after the
dialog is closed is also displayed.
F2 Speller This key invokes the "SPELL CHECKING DIALOG". the
screen is cleared and a message is displayed on
the status line telling you that the dialog is
being invoked. A message after the dialog is
closed is also displayed.
F3 Screen This key invokes the "SCREEN DIALOG". the screen
is cleared and a message is displayed on the
status line telling you that the dialog is being
invoked. A message after the dialog is closed is
also displayed.
F4 Move This key invokes the "MOVE DIALOG". the screen is
NOT cleared when this key is used. I am not sure
why this does not work, and neither is
WordPerfect. Both WordPerfect and I guess that it
does not clear it so that you can see what has
been blocked (that is a wild guess). A message is
displayed on the status line telling you that the
dialog is being invoked. A message after the
dialog is closed is displayed.
F5 Outline This key invokes the "OUTLINE DIALOG". the screen
is cleared and a message is displayed on the
status line telling you that the dialog is being
invoked. A message after the dialog is closed is
also displayed.
F6 DEC TAB Refer to CHART 1 for information on this key.
F7 Notes This key invokes the "NOTES DIALOG". the
screen is cleared and a message is displayed
on the status line telling you that the
dialog is being invoked. A message after the

text. You will be told when VERY LARGE is
on, off, or when a blocked area of text is
enlarged. This key acts like the BOLD key.
F12 Italics Refer to CHART 6 key I for more information.
CHART 4
The following keys in the chart below are those function
keys accessed by pressing the ALT key (ALT-F1 through ALT-
F12). For this reason, the shift key will not be shown in
the KEY column when the keys are listed.
Key Meaning Description
F1 Writing
Tools This key invokes the "WRITING TOOLS DIALOG".
the screen is cleared and a message is
displayed on the status line telling you that
the dialog is being invoked. A message after
the dialog is closed is also displayed.

closed is also displayed.
CHART 4 (CONTINUED)
Key Meaning Description
F8 Styles This key invokes the "STYLES DIALOG". the screen
is cleared and a message is displayed on the
status line telling you that the dialog is being
invoked. A message after the dialog is closed is
also displayed.
F9 Graphics This key invokes the "GRAPHICS DIALOG". the
screen is cleared and a message is displayed on
the status line telling you that the dialog is
being invoked. A message after the dialog is
closed is also displayed.
F10 Run Macro This key invokes the "EXECUTE MACRO DIALOG". the
screen is cleared and a message is displayed on
the status line telling you that the dialog is
being invoked. A message after the dialog is
closed is also displayed.
F11 Large This key sets the LARGE attribute on text.
You will be told when LARGE is on, off, or
when a blocked area of text is enlarged.
This key acts very much like the BOLD key.
F12 Justify This key is a very nicely written version of the
old "JUSTIFICATION" prompt that WP 5.1 had. You
are presented with a small menu on the bottom of
the screen with choices from which to select. The
title of the menu is surrounded by caret (^)
symbols.
CHART 5

the use of the control key (CONTROL-A through CONTROL-Z).
For this reason, the control key is not listed in the KEY
column.
Key Meaning Description
A Compose This key invokes WordPerfect's "Compose" feature.
The screen is cleared and the dialog is invoked.
A message on the status line is shown telling you
that you have entered the dialog. When you leave,
you will be told when you have returned to the

function went in 6.0. I used the ESCAPE key
repeatedly (no pun intended) in 5.1 and was not
sure where it went. When this key is invoked,
the screen is cleared and the "Repeat" dialog is
invoked. A message on the status line shows when
the dialog is being opened or closed.
S Play Sound This key invokes the "Play Sound Clip"

A message on the status line will be shown
informing you of the status of TYPEOVER. this
message is surrounded by caret symbols.
Preparing for the Installation of the Keyboard File
Now that we have described in detail what each key will do,
it is time to install the keyboard file. Before you can do
this some things need to be setup first.
Making WordPerfect 6.0 not lock up
The first thing you need to do is to set an environment
variable in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Put a line in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file that reads:
SET WP=/ND
This will prevent WordPerfect from locking your system when
you are using access technology. Make sure you re-run your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file, or reboot your system before invoking
WordPerfect. This is necessary to make the changes apply
that you just implemented in your AUTOEXEC.BAT.
Configuring WordPerfect 6.0 for Optimum Use for Speech and
Braille
Included in this distribution archive is a WordPerfect macro
file called BSFISETP.WPM. This macro should be placed in
the directory that you specified during the installation of
WordPerfect for macro files. This is normally
C:\WP60\MACROS.
The distribution archive also contains the actual keyboard
file. the name of this file is "WPBSFIKB.WPK'. This file
should also be copied to the same directory the macro was.
Do this now.
Once the files are in place in this directory, you will need
to run the setup macro within WordPerfect. This may require
some visual assistance. Follow these steps to run the
macro:
1. Enter WordPerfect by typing "WP" (excluding the quote
marks).
2. Once in WordPerfect, press the ALT-F10 key sequence.
3. Enter the name BSFISETP and press <ENTER>. The macro
will execute and return you to your main document
screen.
Here is what the macro did:
1. The pull-down menus are no longer visible on the main
document screen. This was done for easier reading of
the document.
2. The entry, and display of measurements have been set to
inches (I was used in this case). This, I have found,
is the best setup for speech users as measurements are
spoken better. The old style of WordPerfect 4.2 unit
measurements is no longer available.
3. The new Braille and speech friendly interface
WordPerfect file is made the default keyboard.
If you do not like these new settings, you can easily change
them in setup. To make the menus visible though, you must
use the VIEW pull-down menu to reset it.
Configuring the Status Line
For this keyboard file to work correctly, you will need to
configure two windows for the status line. Follow these
guidelines:
1. The area of the screen should be line 25, columns 1
through 49. Do NOT go beyond column 49.
2. Configure the screen reader to trigger on a caret (^)
symbol in column 1. When this is seen, this window
should speak. All messages presented in this keyboard
file are surrounded by caret (^) symbols. I have found
that information other than that provided in the
keyboard that is shown on the status line is really not
that useful (with the exception of the positioning
information on the right side of the status line).
3. Configure a second window for the full length of the
25th line of the screen.
4. This window should only speak when the string
"^Justification^" appears. This string will start in
column 1. The full line should then speak. This is
the justification menu provided by the ALT-F12 key.
Other tips and techniques will be added to this section as I
receive feedback from you, the user.

Acknowledgements
I would like to acknowledge the following people for their
help:
Name Why?
My Wife My beautiful wife Keri, has been so patient during the
long hours of frustration in trying to get the keyboard
finished. To her I oh my gratitude and love.
WordPerfect
Beta Group I would like to publicly thank WordPerfect
corporation for the help they have been. I
especially would like to thank them for allowing
me to beta test 6.0. It has been an invaluable
experience. Great thanks goes to those in the
beta group at WordPerfect who provided help with
the new macro language, without it this could have
never happened. For all of the other people at
WordPerfect who helped, THANK
YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Randy Knapp For his insight on configuring smart zones with
Artic Business Vision. I would also like to thank
him for continuing to give encouragement during
those tough moments when things were not going
right.
Ted Henter For his insights on Jaws Macros. I also
appreciated his feedback of ideas mentioned to
him.
Ray Bronk Ray Brawnk for always keeping the user's
prospective on the front line. Its always good to
communicate with non-technical programmer types
when you have gone absolutely nuts.
Conclusion
That is it! You are now ready to run with WordPerfect 6.0.
Additional refinements will be needed for complex screens in
WordPerfect (such as spell check). I will be providing
additional feedback on what should be done to configure
these screens when firm details are available.
Expect a newer version of the keyboard file soon. The next
release will have menus specifically developed for blind
users. All functionality will be kept, but they will be in
an even easier structure then you see now.
Any suggestions, improvements, corrections, or any other
comments you would like to pass on, please do. I love
feedback.
Happy computing, and remember to be patient with WordPerfect
6.0. any new product will cause some frustrations.
