OfficePower Keyboard Templates

Many users prefer to use Keyboard Templates in conjunction with "standard" keyboards in preference to OfficePower-specific keyboards. TeamWARE Group supplied such templates, designed for use on the "102-key AT" keyboard which was an industry standard.

There are a number of new types of keyboard now on the market, including "ergonomic" types (where the Fn keys and QWERTY block follow a shallow V shape instead of a straight line) and "compact" models (where the space above and below the Fn keys has been reduced or removed altogether). The traditional OfficePower keyboard templates previously supplied by TeamWARE Group will not fit on many of these new keyboards - indeed, such is the variety, that it is no longer possible to produce a single template which would fit them all.

To help users who can't use the standard templates, we are introducing a new range of three reference cards and templates, published in electronic form only, which you can print out yourselves and use in place of the old (plastic) templates. These three A4 documents are available now on the Web - click on the links in the following paragraphs to download the documents to your PC.

The Keyboard Reference Card (371 Kb) is a diagram of the physical layout of the keys, each key showing the OfficePower functions assigned to that key.

The Key Mapping Reference Card (21 Kb) is an alphabetic list of OffficePower functions, listing the key combination for each function.

These two reference cards are for those of you who would like a complete reference to OfficePower functions stuck up on the wall adjacent to your PC. For those of you who prefer to have the reference information on or adjacent to the keyboard, try the following file:

The Keyboard Template (314 Kb) is a "cut-out" replacement for the traditional keyboard templates. It is designed to be printed on card, and comprises two mini-templates showing the OfficePower functions on the Fn keys and the Cursor/Number Pad respectively. These two items can be cut out and stuck to the top edge of your keyboard, or the bottom edge of your monitor - the template for the Fn keys can be cut in half to fit an "ergonomic" keyboard.

The three documents are in Adobe Acrobat (.PDF) format, and can be viewed or printed using the Acrobat Viewer supplied on the OfficePower/Xtra CD. The Keyboard Reference Card and Keyboard Template use the same blue and red colour coding as on the traditional templates to indicate use of the Alt and Ctrl keys - they are therefore most effective when printed on a colour printer!
