WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: Users can insert a single digit number within a circle through the Equation Editor or with Overstrike.

The first three sets of steps below show how this can be done with the 01/19/90 or earlier releases and the 12/31/90 or later releases of the Equation Editor in WP 5.1 DOS. The fourth set of steps below shows how this can be done with Overstrike.

Steps for the 01/19/90 or earlier release dates of WP 5.1 DOS:
1.      Execute the INLINE.WPM macro. (If using a release prior to 01/19/90, create a User Box with the contents set to equation.)
2.      Once on the edit equation screen press Ctrl-2, 6,143 and press Enter (Compose)*
3.      Type or insert the commands horz -79 vert 10 1 (number between 0 and 9)

Steps for the 12/31/90 or later release dates of WP 5.1 DOS:
1.      Execute the INLINE.WPM macro (Alt-F10)
2.      Type or insert the command scalesym 135
3.      Press Ctrl-2, 6,143 and press Enter*
4.      Type or insert the command horz -96 vert 20 1 (numbers 0-9)

Similar steps can be used to insert a double digit number inside of a circle. Once again, these steps are for the 12/31/90 or later release dates of WP 5.1 DOS.
1.      Execute the INLINE.WPM macro (Alt-F10)
2.      Type or insert the command scalesym 135
3.      Press Ctrl-2, 6,143 and press Enter*
4.      Type or insert the command horz -124 vert 15 11 (double digit numbers)
Be sure to answer Yes to the prompt Print as Graphic (option 1 in the Equation Editor setup menu) before printing this character/graphic.

To place a number or character in a circle without using the equation editor, customers can use overstrike. The following steps will accomplish this:
1.      Press Shift-F8 (Format), 4 (Other), 5 (Overstrike), 1 (Create)
2.      Put in a Large code, Ctrl-F8 (Font), 1 (Size), 5 (Large)
3.      Put in the circle, Ctrl-V, 6,143, Enter*
4.      Put in a lower case Large code, Ctrl-F8 (Font), 1 (Size), 5 (Large)
5.      Type in the number you want and press Enter.
6.      Press F7 (Exit) to get back to the document screen.
It might not look nice in View Document, but it prints correctly.

You can also use the following steps to create a double digit number in a circle without using Equation Editor:
1.      Create two user boxes next to each other with Anchor Type set to Character and Wrap Text Around Box set to No.
2.      Go into the first user box and select 9 for Edit, press Ctrl-F8, 1 for Size and 5 for Large
3.      Create the circle by pressing Ctrl-V, 6,143, Enter
4.      Return to the User Box Definition menu and adjust the size
5.      Return to document
6.      Repeat steps 2-4 for the second user box except select 1 for Superscript instead of 5 for Large and type in the number instead of creating the circle
7.      Return to the document
The end result is visible in View Document.

* In releases 05/31/91 and later the Compose characters can be accessed in equations by using the Ctrl-V or Ctrl-2 keystrokes. Previous releases of 5.1 can only access Compose characters with Ctrl-2.
