WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: Enhancement:
A user requested that WordPerfect 5.1 include the capability to underline outline numbers between parentheses.

Answer:
Users can do this using Outline Styles. The steps below list how to underline the number of the outline level:
1.      Go to the Outline Style menu (Shift-F5, D, N)
2.      Choose C to create a new style
3.      Enter a name and description for the style
4.      Highlight the level to be altered
5.      Choose Codes
6.      Enter the following keystrokes: (, F8, Right Arrow, F8, ),
7.      Exit
(Note: The text as it will actually appear in the document is displayed in the upper portion of the screen)
8.      Repeat this for each level in which the number is to be underlined

Users may also insert other formatting codes. For example, if users want to have a tab or an indent automatically inserted after the number, they can place the desired code after the Paragraph Number code.

WordPerfect will not automatically indent each level when an Outline Style is used. This allows users to enter any type of formatting codes. If users do want each level to be indented, they will have to insert the appropriate number of [Tab] codes.

Users will need to save this Outline Style to a filename different than the document name before exiting the document. Once saved, it may be retrieved and used in any document.

To use the new Outline Style, users should go to the Outline Define menu (Shift-F5, D) and select the desired numbering format (Paragraph, Outline, Legal, or Bullets). This will define the style for numbers in the document. Since parentheses were placed around the numbers in the Outline Style, they are not needed in this numbering style. Users should then choose User-defined and edit the numbers and the parentheses. They can press Enter to skip a number they don't want to edit. (Remember that the numbers here are the ones that will be underlined in the new style. In other words, this is the number that will be inserted wherever there is a [Par Num:#] code in that style.) Next, users should select the new Outline Style, then exit from the menu and turn on Outline.
