WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: Enhancement: A user requested that WordPerfect 5.1 include the capability to reference a footnote to an earlier footnote and have the number automatically update when a new number is added before the referenced footnote. This would allow users to have multiple references to the same footnote number. Answer: Users can do this with the Cross-Reference feature. The Cross-Reference feature uses a target (the original footnote), a reference (the position where the footnote is referred to), and a target name (a unique identifier that ties the two together). The steps to do this are listed below: 1. Place the cursor inside the footnote where the reference will be. 2. Press Alt-F5, 1, 1, 3 then type in a target name (i.e., Note). The Ref code will be placed in the footnote with a question mark (?). 3. Press F7. 4. Go into the footnote to be referenced (target footnote) and place your cursor after the [Note Num] code. 5. Press Alt-F5, 1, 2, (it will then ask for the target name and will already have Note typed in from before). 6. Accept Note as the target name (it will then insert the [Target(Note)] code). 7. Press F7 back to the document 8. Press Alt-F5, 6, 5, Y to generate the document. The document will need to be generated each time footnotes are added or deleted to update the footnote reference number. Users may reference targets as many times as they like. Each time the target is referenced, the same target name should be entered. After all references are made, the document can be generated to display the correct reference numbers. If footnote numbers change, the reference number can become outdated. For this reason, the document should be generated each time extensive editing changes are made, or whenever the document is saved or printed.
