=>Bill,  I have printed equations in footnotes successfully, so I may be

=>be more specific.  For instance:  1.  Are these equations in equation
=>boxes?  2.  If yes, how arethe equations anchored (i.e. page, paragraph,
=>character)?  I wouldn't try to use page anchored equations in a
=>footnote.  WP may not even allow that.  Character anchored equations
=>work well though.  3.  What does your equation setup menu say about
=>spacing and alignment?

I understand what Professor Bigelow is saying, but am not sure it will
solve the problem. My solution? Place the cursor in the begining of
the document, then run it all the way through to the end of it. Then
maybe preview all the pages, then you will get what you want.

I complained to WP about the instability of the program. They send me
the latest version. Still my dissertation may be printed in three
different ways, two of which are wrong. And I have use the
aforementioned method to get the right one. There are definitely some
quirks remaining. If you can't find a work around, document the problem
and call WP.

The file mentioned either here or on wp51-l called
wp30.ini doesn't exist.  The reason is it has different names.
There's a vax vms version and also a unix version.
read attached message if you want to know where you
can download the file from and its subdirectory.
The Kermit initialization file for Wordperfect on VMS is
kermit/a/msiwp3.ini.  The file for Wordperfect on UNIX is
kermit/a/msiwpu.ini.

try ftp watsun.cc.columbia.edu

type cd /kermit.
the directories /kermit/a through /kermit/e have many of
the kermit files in them.  Yoou can get binaries by going into
/kermit/bin.
All other files like wp30.ini must be downloaded in ascii format to your
computer.
You should sign up to kermit-digest and read it to keep abreast of
latest releases since you don't know about wp30.ini you likely
don't have the latest release of kermit anywhere in your installation and
at the price of a download for possession you're only hurting your
installation's productivity by not staying up with current releases.
Recently a new release was announced for the vax vms computers and also
for msdos too.  To subscribe to the kermit digest write to
fdc@watsun.cc.columbia.edu and ask to be put on the
kermit digest mailing list give your e-mail address and e-mail id and
your real name in the message and it'll be done no problems.
Would put these files up on the computer for you but they're not now

I have had a similar experience. I had a previous file server (IBM 386 tower)
that did not handle bad blocks well and would crash occasionally, but when 
we had corrupted files (even short ones) they would sometimes  create
these enormous bad files that would eat all available disk space. Once those
offending files were deleted, the problem went away.

     using Avery labels 3-across/10-down.  I make a run of 61 labels

I may be missing something, but isn't the solution to this problem
simply to use enough [HPg]s to leave blank the number of labels which
have already been used. I do this with labels, and it works fine.

Subject: Converting footnotes/endnotes from another WP
Date: 7 Jan 93 14:49:34 GMT
Organization: Lehigh University



I have a lot of requests to convert documents from various word processing
packages into WordPerfect.  Several times these documents contain
footnotes/endnotes which after converted to WordPerfect are placed at the
end of the document.  The footnote/endnote number just has superscript
codes surrounding it.  (There is a possiblity that they were created this was
in the original package).

What I have told users to do is:

Block and copy the contents of the first footnote
Move to the location where the first footnote is referenced
Delete the superscript codes and the number
Create a footnote
Press Enter to retrieve the contents of the footnote

This process works fine.  But for some people with many, many footnotes, this
process can be very time consuming?

Any other ideas on how to make this easier?

Thanks.

Michele

I think you are being unfair to WP here...It isn't WP's fault that your new
printer doesn't have some of the same capabilities as your old one.  WpDos
is limited to using your printer's fonts (unless you use some sort of 3rd
party addon).  WpWin can get around this because it can use scaleable
truetype fonts, plus v. 5.2 comes bundled with adobe type manager.
 
I am surprised that [small] does not work... I would think that your
printer has a line-printer font (about 17 characters per inch) and that
wp would use it for small.  If your printer has built-in fonts that
you would be willing to use for large and small, you could use the PTR
program to modify the printer driver so it uses the fonts you want.
Get help from WP or elsewhere before trying this though! 

But, to answer your question:  if you do have windows 3.1, you could get
truetype for dos (around $50-$60).  This will let you use window's scaleable
courier, times, and arial (helvetica) fonts with wp.  Or, you can wait for
WpDos 6.0, which is supposed to include adobe type manager.  There are also
various other font programs, but I'm not familiar with them.  One other option
might be to buy a font cartridge for your printer (but my impression is that
this isn't very cost-effective given the big improvements in soft-font
technology over the past year).  (One other problem: you might need more    
memory for your printer if it only has 512K).  

Good luck!

This is a classic case for a macro, but one more sophisticated than a
simple keystroke recording (though the latter could be used as a basis
for generating the former).

Just before Xmas I had to do a very similar thing twice, for two
different word processors.  If anyone is interested I could mail copies
of one of the macros (either to the list or individually).  Note
however, that my macro is likely to be of little use "as is", as it
searches for the particular sequence of codes that ended up in the docs
I was dealing with -- you will most likely have to modify the macro to
suit your docs (maybe even having to change to search order/logic).

My macro is actually quite clever (IMHO).  So long as you have a unique
identifying sequence of codes for the note references it searches for
them, blocks out and copies the reference "number", searches for that
number surrounded by the sequence of codes that indicate the actual note
contents, blocks and deletes that reference stuff, blocks the note text
and cuts it out, searches back to the note reference point, creates the
a "proper" note, puts the note text in it, exits note edit mode, deletes
the note reference stuff, then searches for the next note reference
point, (loop).

Unfortunately it is not at all well documented or commented, but it may
be useful.  Anyone interested?

I have been using the new Presentations program and find it to be a vast
improvement over Drawperfect.  I have found 1 unusual problem that I would
like to post an inquiry about. 

I created a slide show and it runs fine on almost every machine I have tried
except and computer with ATI Graphics board.  It does not allow me to
"overlay" images and it doesn't display all the gradients either.  

Anybody else having similar problems or any other Presentations bugs to
report?
