- The answer is in the Windows Readme file (README.WRI) in your Main group!

- 8.6 WordPerfect Version 5.1
-
- When running WordPerfect version 5.1 in a window, the Windows mouse
- pointer and the WordPerfect mouse pointer will not appear in the same place.
- To fix this problem, do the following:
-
- 1. In WordPerfect, press SHIFT+F1.
-
- 2. Select M for Mouse and A for Acceleration Factor.
-
- 3. Set the Acceleration Factor to 1.
-
- 4. Press ENTER three times to return to your document.
-
- 5. Enlarge the WordPerfect window to fill the entire screen.
-
- 6. Move the Windows mouse pointer into the WordPerfect window, and then
- move it to the far-right edge of the window.
-
- 7. Move the mouse pointer to the far-left edge of the window.
-
- 8. Move the pointer back to the center of the window, and then move it down
- to the bottom edge.
-
- 9. Finally, move the pointer up to the upper-left corner of the window.
-
- The Windows mouse pointer and the WordPerfect mouse pointer should now
- be in the same location.

- Geez, Windows is neat (I used the clipboard to paste this section in).
