To set focus to WordPerfect, use this command:
vFocus:=SetFocus("Corel WordPerfect - *")
To set focus to a dialog, use a similar command, but specify the caption of the dialog in the parameter:
vFocus:=SetFocus("MyDialog")
You can specify the complete, exact caption, or if the caption may vary, specify part of it and include an asterisk, as shown in the first example above.
You can check whether the command was successful, if desired, by testing vFocus. If successful, it will have a value of 1. If not, it will have a value of 0.
Place this routine towards the bottom of the macro, along with any other PROCEDURES or FUNCTIONS.

To set focus to a specific control on a dialog, use the following command:
RegionSetFocus("WordPerfect.DialogName.ControlName")
Dialog and control names are case-sensitive. If the dialog is not displayed when the command is invoked, or if the specified control does not exist ont hat dialog, and error will occur. You can use this command on either WordPerfect dialogs or user-defined dialogs. Some dialogs that appear within WordPerfect are shared code dialogs, and may not have a named region.
If you are setting focus on a user-defined dialog, the dialog name and control name can be found in the properties of the dialog in the Dialog Editor, or if you are using old-style dialogs, in the DialogAdd command that adds the control.
For information on determining the named region of a WordPerfect dialog control, see How to get named regions for WP dialogs.
