WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: Modified Legal paragraph numbering causing "1..1" between first and second level. I have a document with a standard legal paragraph number definition, and a modified legal definition which has changed the first level from "1" to "1." When the second level of the modified form is used, it appears as "1..1". In WP 5.0 (06/12/90), same file yields "1.1". Solutions: Paragraph number definition is different in WordPerfect 5.1. For the most part, WP 5.1 is more powerful and flexible, but this is a case where WP 5.0 actually was more flexible. WP 5.0 had a concept of ".1" meaning attach all previous levels with periods between them; this allowed you to end level 1 with a period, but not have level 1 in subsequent levels end with a period (there would just be the single separating period between level 1 and level 2, for example). But in 5.1, you specify separately if you want previous levels attached, and a preceding period is merely punctuation. Answer: I have found a work-around: Level 1 is "1.", Level 2 "1" with "Attach previous level", rest is standard legal.
