= SYMPTOMS =

If a Microsoft Word 5.x document containing footnotes is converted to Microsoft Works 4.0, Works will insert a second footnote reference in both the body of the document and in the footnote area, if the footnote reference is a symbol.

NOTE: The Microsoft Word 5.x footnote feature allows you to insert either a number as a footnote reference (1,2,3), or a symbol as a footnote reference (*, #, a)

If the footnote reference marker is a number, Works will convert this footnote marker and its reference correctly.

If the footnote reference marker is a symbol, Works will insert a footnote number next to the symbol in both the main body and in the footnote window of the document.

= RESOLUTION =

To delete the footnote marker that Works inserts, and retain the symbol from Word, do the following:


 * 1) Scroll down to the footnote window.
 * 2) Highlight the text with the symbol for the footnote that is being duplicated.
 * 3) From the Edit menu, choose Cut.
 * 4) Return to the main body of the document, and locate the corresponding footnote reference.
 * 5) Delete the footnote reference number, this will delete it in the footnote window, too.
 * 6) Scroll back to the footnote window.
 * 7) Place your cursor (I-beam) where you want to re-insert the footnote.
 * 8) From the Edit menu, choose Paste.
