Unable to Get Extended Characters on Tandy 1200

4.00 5.00

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

When using Word Version 4.00 on a Tandy 1200 computer it is not possible to use the ALT key in conjunction with the numeric keypad to insert characters from the extended character set into a Word document. Word 4.00 beeps if this is attempted.

This compatibility problem has been addressed in Word Version 5.00 and when Word is correctly set up for the Tandy 1000/1200 it is possible to enter extended characters via the ALT key. There is no beep in Word Version 5.00.
