Have you tried pressing the "num lock" on the numerical keypad? Also you may
like to try Preferences and go to the custom keyboard.

What do you think of the product? I just saw it yesterday and was generally
happy about it. It looks like a cousin to Nisus IMHO, but lacks some features
that Word, it's main rival, still does "easily". As it stands, 2.1 is going
to address these problems. I was impressed with WordPerfect however, and I
think they'll do a good job. According to them, whenever they start a new
platform, they make the product compatible with v4.2 and work from there. I
still think they deserved the bashing for 1.0 no matter how justified they
seem. At least they're upgrading all 1.0-1.03 users to 2.0 for free...
Incidentally, about that v4.2 compatible stuff, it's true on all platforms
except Windows 3.0, that is :)
