The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: A customer wanted to create footnote numbers with characters and be able to renumber them. For example, all the footnotes would have one * (asterisk) instead of two, or three, or however many footnotes there are. Solutions: WordPerfect will not let users enter a New Footnote Number code for characters. To work around this, customers can follow these steps:
1.      Go to the first footnote and place a Footnote Option code. Choose option 5 for characters and set the character for an * (asterisk).
2.      To the left of each footnote, place a New Footnote Numbering code of "*".
3.      The code in Reveal Codes will reflect a number 1 rather than the asterisk (e.g. [New Ftn Num:1], not [New Ftn Num:*]).

This will put one asterisk per footnote, instead of an increasing number of asterisks.
