Problem

Symptoms: The customer is unable to use Ctrl-V to access characters while changing the Footnote Numbering Method. Solutions: On any release of WP prior to 05/31/91, the following happens when you use Ctrl-V to change the footnote numbering method to characters:
1.      Go into the Footnote Options menu
2.      Choose Characters for the numbering method (either 3 or C)
3.      Press Ctrl-V, and type 4,39. Notice the symbol or box is not displayed; instead, what you just typed (4,39) is displayed.
4.      Exit, and create a footnote. Notice the image that appears as the footnote number is not the character, but the number 4. The same thing appears in View Document.

To correct the problem, the user must use Ctrl-2 to access the character set. Go back to the Footnote Options menu, choose Characters for the Footnote Numbering Method, press Ctrl-2, and type 4,39. A box instead of numbers will appear. For any interim release before 05/31/91 the correct character can be accessed through Ctrl-2 rather than Ctrl-V. In the 05/31/91 or later releases, you can use either Ctrl-2 or Ctrl-V.
