Equation Caption Numbering Style Not Updating |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: This may just be a question of how equation caption numbering is designed, but it appears to be a problem. Follow these steps: Alt-F9, 6, 4 (options) and choose 6 for Caption Number Style. Change it to read [Bold](2.1)[bold] (by simply adding a "2." before the 1). Then exit back to the document and create a simple equation (i.e., 10 over 10), choose 3 for caption, and see how it automatically chooses the caption number as ".1". It ignores the "2" before it. If you keep creating equations and turning the caption on, it continues to count .2, .3, .4, etc. The same thing happens if the Caption Numbering Style reads (1.1). It counts again as if there were no 1 preceding the ".1". (i.e., .1,.2,.3,.4,.5, etc). The rest of the numbers 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 work fine preceding the .1. Then the captions will number correctly (i.e., 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, etc.). Also, say you have the Caption Numbering Style set to 4.1 and you're numbering chapters of a book. On the next chapter (in the same document), change the Caption Numbering Style to 5.1. It will continue counting from where it left off with the 4. (i.e., say you had a caption 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3....well now you run into the new Equation option to start numbering at 5.1. The new caption reads 5.4, 5.5. So the number just counts consecutively from how many equations have been created.) Is this how the program was designed to work? Solutions: Customers can use this numbering method if they set the first and second level numbering to Numbers, then set the numbering style to (1.2). When they want the first numbering level to change (i.e., 3.1) they need to press Alt-F9, E, N, to start a new numbering level. |
