This article lists all of the commands available in the trial (un-registered) version of the WordStar Command Emulator version 1.4. There are more commands available in the full (registered) version of the WordStar Command Emulator. You can compare the commands available in each version of the WordStar Command Emulator.
The WordStar Command Emulator also customises the Word pull-down menus so that they closely follow the menus in WordStar 7.0d.

Non-WS, but useful extra Commands | |
ALT+A | Edit Select All |
ALT+B | Toggle Bold |
ALT+C | Copy to Windows Clipboard |
ALT+F,O | File Open (Windows standard keystroke) |
ALT+S | File Save |
ALT+V | Paste from Windows Clipboard |
ALT+X | Cut to Windows Clipboard |
Note: | ALT+V clashes with the View menu. Therefore, use ALT+F, RIGHT ARROW to select View. Also ALT+B clashes with the Table menu - use ALT+W,LEFT ARROW to select Table. |
Word seems sensitive about the caps lock being on. Try turning it off and try again.
If the WordStar Command Emulator won't print a marked block you are almost certainly using Word as your email editor within Outlook and trying to print from there. For some reason, Outlook prevents this command from working.
As this is such a useful function, but clashes with WordStar's move left one word command, Edit, Select All has been assigned to ALT+A.
You can still use the Word and Windows standard shortcut commands, except where they clash with WordStar commands that are supplied by the WordStar Command Emulator. ^C for example is changed from Copy to Page Down (in this case ALT+C has been substituted for the standard Windows ^C, Copy command).
