Footnote Characters Not Converting Properly T
DocumentID: 620842
Revision Date: 29-Feb-96 1:39:27 PM

The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: A footnote character will not convert to Rich Text Format (RTF). Instead, the footnote characters are replaced by numbers.

The footnote option that sets the footnote numbering method does not correctly convert to RTF. The desired result is that the footnote numbering method be set to Character. The current footnote character can be one of the following: # or $ or K. However, when the file is exported in RTF format, the footnote numbering method is always Number. Upon inspection of the RTF file, the RTF command \chftn is sent to the file; the associated character is not written to the file.

This problem does not occur in WordPerfect 5.1/5.2 for Windows.

For this customer, the technique of resetting the footnote character and the footnote number is designed to create input files for the Windows Help compiler. Solutions: This problem is scheduled to be corrected in the next interim release after 09/13/93 (6.0a). If a customer reports this problem before the interim release ships, please write an STR that includes complete customer information, a brief description of the problem, the Development number, and this memo ID number. IMPORTANT: Before updating any customer, please check the Software Change Notices to verify that the correction has been made.
